Lost Ark's Head Start Period Begins Now, Full F2P Launch On The 11th
Remember when we were guessing if it would ever come West?
The wait is over, Lost Ark fans, at least for those of you who purchased a Founder's Pack. If that's you, then you can hop into the game today (well, some time today), three days ahead of the free-to-play peons, and begin your voyage in Arkesia.
You should already be caught up on everything the game has to offer, but in case you aren't, here's your official recap thread:
- Advanced class reveal, including details for warriors, mages, gunners, and martial artists
- Land and sea
- Endgame PvE, including dungeons, raids, gear, and housing
- Localization
- Refresher video on just about everything
If you want some nostalgia, here's the official announcement that the game would be launching in the West, and you can go all the way back to late 2014 for the first time we wrote about the game here on MMOBomb.
That should just about get you caught up for today's head start launch. Or, if you're planning to wait for the servers to unmelt, you've got three whole days until the full launch on February 11. Regardless of how you plan to play, good luck and have fun!
