Rise of Kunark launches on Tuesday.  Assuming you’ve taken the day off from work or school to be ready to jump in, let’s take a brief moment to explain some of the ways you should NOT spend your day:

1.  Do NOT go to the official forums to complain about the servers being down.  This is the MMO equivalant of honking your horn in a traffic jam.  It won’t make the time move any faster, and you’ll simply add to the noise that’s already there. 

2.  Do NOT use the official forums to complain about your retail pre-order not being in stock.  SOE has no ability to assist you if the store you pre-ordered from does not have your Rise of Kunark in stock when you show up. 

3.  Do NOT use the official forums to ask where you can find your Epic Quest starter.  When you do manage to get in-game, don’t ask in-game where you can find your Epic Quest starters either.  Epic Quests won’t be in game at release. 

Rest of the list after the break…

In case you missed it, there will be no epic weapons available at launch. 

Per Massively.com’s Rise of Kunark Beta tour:

Sadly, I was told, the Epic Weapons will not be in the expansion when it launches on November 13. But considering players will probably have to be level 80 to even start the quests, SoE has some leeway to put the final polish on the quest lines before implementing them.
