Because it is not clear, and apparently it matters a great deal because the first character you log in with "after the update goes live" is the one that gets the pack of stuff, no way to fix a mistake here - it will automatically go to the fist character you log on with. They've made it clear there are no second chances or way to leave it in Ellora's Storage to be picked up with a different character on the same account. I've already discovered that this company is extremely hostile about helping players who pick items on the wrong character on the same account by mistake because they are trying to prevent "Malicious intention". That is a quote. Don't ask me, I don't know know what they mean by that either, I found it offensive in the face of an honest mistake I was asking for help with.
The official "documentation" says this:
Ranger Class Pre-Launch Creation
Event Dates: November 30, 2016 to December 15, 2016
Pacific Standard Time End of Maintenance (November 30, 2016) Start of Maintenance (December 15, 2016)
Beginning on November 30th, you can begin creating your new Ranger class character before the update goes live on December 15th. This means immediate name reservation on your preferred server and taking the time you need to custom create the perfect look for your Ranger! The pre-creation event will go live after the completion of the scheduled maintenance on November 30, 2016 and will continue up until the launch of the update on December 15, 2016.
However it fails to mention exactly what time (only the time zone). Usually maintenance is on Wednesdays which this week would be Dec 14. The start up screen says the ranger has to be pre-created BY DEC 14, which by my reckoning means by midnight tonight, Dec 13 (probably pacific time.) Or at least by maintenance on Wednesday? The text above says "Up to the launch of the update on December 15, 2016".
So is there maintenance as usual on Wednesday Dec 14?
Is there also an additional maintenance on Dec 15? At what time?
