Newp, but I can telecommute and honestly, CoX doesn't require full attention most of the time. I only take time off for double xp weekends (since wasting time during those is a SIN) or expansion releases in other games.

The 17th will actually be my first day back at work after my vacation to Florida for four days of Star Warsy fun.

I assume that GR will be around for more than a few days, so no reason to take time off just because it is released - it will still be there.

I'm taking off the Friday after it launches for a nice 3 day weekend of gaming. I have 2 new characters I want to play to try out the new powersets, and several characters that will be side switching. It's going to be a busy and very fun weekend.
At this point I don't know. I know I can't take a weekend off, but during the week of the 17th, I may get some time to play.

Yes.
I had to take time off the week before the 17th, so I ended up grabbing a couple of days extra.

is 15 hours ahead of
Eastern Standard Time (North America)
which is 5 hours behind

Nope. I booked last week off in February, and when the release date was announced, it was too late to move my time.
Thank you, Champion.

I am on holiday when it releases but will be spending most of my time swimming and doing things in that big box called the real world.
And then logging on late at night to get my first Praetorian rolling along.
Chances are, whatever contents GR adds, I'll be playing (and replaying, and re-replaying, and re-re-replaying...) approximately infinity billion times over the next few years. I don't see the big deal about getting a few days' head start. Or a few weeks, so people who hardcore love issue betas confuse me.

Nah. I can understand (even if I don't agree with) taking time off in traditional MMORPGs where you want to be the first ever to loot that new sword or carry around that new shield that has people asking "Where did that come from??" or be the first to raid some end-game mob before some other guild gets to him first. But there's no real incentive for me to rush through Going Rogue and it'll be the same game when I get home from work.

I won't be taking any time off right after GR launches...because I already have the entire week off from the 23rd.
