On February 16th the next expansion "The Sentinel's Fate" will go live.
What to Expect on Launch Day!
On February 16th, EQII's sixth expansion, Sentinel's Fate will launch the retail headstart! We're all very excited, and hope that you share our enthusiasm. We want to give a brief overview of what to expect on the 16th.
We'll be bringing the servers down at midnight on February 15th to begin patching to the live servers. Fan Faire attendees will be flagged at this time.
Starting at 6am PST and running until 8am PST, Zatozia will be running a Ustream event.
Kiara will be on the Official Forums and in Zam's IRC chat to provide updates until the servers come up.
We plan to have the servers back up and ready to go by 9am PST.

9am PST means 6pm CET... knowing SOE we have to assume a delay of 1-10 hours... Raid for that Tuesday is cancelled btw.

And I see the 16th is a date that had another "go live" a few years ago: Yaylee's birthday
