Galactic Civilizations II will be digitally released late afternoon EST to users who have pre-ordered it.
It should also start showing up in retail today (though actual availability will depend on a store by store basis, by end of week it should be in most retail outlets hopefully).
If you're looking to pass the time, check out the forum stickies as we talk about what to expect and look for when you download this.
Most of Stardock's people will be hanging out here all day to help people since initial orders aren't the 2.5X of GalCiv I we had expected but more like 10X GalCiv I (thankfully, most of the game is mirrored across the world, we've had reports of download speeds on the multimedia of >1 Mebabyte per second).
You can also create your Metaverse characters if you'd like with the serial #s. If you run into any issues or just have a question, feel free to stop by #galciv on irc.stardock.com. We'll be there.
Stay tuned!
