1) If I live in central time and if I get the hard copy at midnight release will I be able to play at midnight central time or will I have to wait until 2am to play?
2) If I live in central time and if I get the digital copy (preloaded) will I be able to play at midnight central time or will I have to wait until 2am to play?
3) Why does gamestops website say 9am central standard time on 9/9 to be able to play destiny's digital download copy?
4) If I do pick the game up at midnight or have it downloaded at midnight central time will I only be able to play campaign then and not PvP?
Sorry if this is confusing but my god I am used to picking up a game at midnight and playing right away so this is not consistent with other midnight (central time) releases.

Edited by JDrz: 8/15/2014 3:19:15 AMThe servers will be active ahead of release, theres precautions already in place to stop people playing ahead of time without authorization (fines to stores etc.) There are always people who get legit early copies of games (employees, journalists, youtubers) and they need to be accessible, Bungie or more precisely activision isnt going to hold the servers hostage. They will be up days before release, like other online check in games. Theoretically ig you could convince your console you were on the east coast, west coast players could be playing digital copies at 9pm. Just not sure if it goes by user entered data or ip address
