Taken from here.
Here's what you'll find going on today:
- When the servers first go live this afternoon:
* all relics will have been returned to their home shrines;
* all keeps and towers will be unclaimed and set to level one;
* all keeps and towers can be claimed and upgraded, but not be attacked.
- Stage One, accompanied by a system broadcast alerting players of the change, will set Caer Benowyc, Bledmeer Faste, and Dun Crauchon to be attackable (including all associated towers).
- Stage Two, accompanied by a system broadcast alerting players of the change, will set Caer Berkstead, Caer Erasleigh, Caer Boldiamm, Nottmoor Faste, Blendrake Faste, Glenlock Faste, Dun Crimthainn, Dun Bolg, and Dun na nGed to be attackable (including all associated towers).
- (Starting at approximately 9pm EDT) Stage Three, accompanied by a system broadcast alerting players of the change, will set Caer Sursbrooke, Caer Renaris, Caer Hurbury, Hlidskialf Faste, Fensalir Faste, Arvakr Faste, Dun da Behnn, Dun Scathaig, and Dun Ailinne to be attackable (including all associated towers).
The primary reason that we use the term 'approximately' is to note that these will be hot changes to the servers, and, as such, these changes will gradually flow to each server. It's not like flipping a switch, unfortunately. While we will be making these changes as quickly and as carefully as possible, the process is not instantaneous.
If the launch goes on schedule, Stage One will happen at approximately 3:00 PM EDT, and Stage Two will happen at approximately 5:00 PM EDT. Stage Three will start at 9:00 PM EDT barring the most bizarre circumstances. And of course, this being launch day, there may be unforeseen issues that alter these planned times. Watch the Camelot Herald for updates, and spread the word in game to your allies that do not read the Herald.
