Why did you open the World Preview Event early?

We opened early for a couple of reasons. First of all, it’s cool to do stuff like this, to exceed expectations whenever we can. Secondly, we promised three days of gaming during the World Preview Event. We knew this was going to be a very popular event, and by starting early, we were able to address any connectivity issues right away, during the “bonus period,” so that everything was running smoothly by the official start time of Friday morning.
