Right. It looks like so far it is just an ad. . . which sucks, I'd be psyched to play this pre-release.

[Fyd]

Yep no button to play or download :(

PS Can someone tell me if DA is going to be multilanguage?

[modeps]

Odd, must have been an early released press release... no doubt it'll be released soon.

[modeps]

Ah, although its not outlined in the press release, it'll be out today at noon PST.

[bean19]

12:24 PST and it is not up.

Promotional site, YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG!

Edit: I hit refresh just for shits (and gigs) and it is now not the promotional site but is instead ominously stating "Coming Soon".

..and a huge QuickTime logo.

Yeah, they botched this news ;)

[bean19]

Yep, now they are requiring QuickTime to access it and I'm on a work PC where I don't have the rights to install QuickTime. Don't they realize that the reason we play Java apps is to kill time at work. If I could do that and also earn a cool item for an upcoming game, I'd tell my work friends. . . but so far this has been a complete failure.

It's actually just a trailer, so you aren't really missing anything.

The game has been working since around 3:30 PST. It's better than I thought it would be and you can unlock items for the real game.
