Is there any way that Brink will be available for Preload before the release date on steam. This way as soon as it is released at midnight we will be able to play. Otherwise with the backup on steam of everyone trying to download it at the same time, it will take a few more hours before we will be able to play. It's just a suggestion that I'm sure others would like to see happen :^)

I believe they have said they will try to make it preload, no?

I haven't seen anything regarding a Preload but i hope they decide to.

Somewhere over at Splash Damage this was said.. Didn't find it in the news section, so now I'm not even 100% sure about it myself..

.. BUT! I'll stay with the ''I think they said yes on this matter''

Since I'm not sure, don't take my word for it, but don't be surprised if there actually is a pre-load

I hope we get preload and that the European version releases at midnight... I can't play on the following weekend so I want to spend those few hours I got playing it.

I hear you can preload next monday, 2pm.

However, that was from a fellow poster, and he didn't have any source, so take mine with a grain of salt.

"One additional note before we get down to business — we’re currently shooting to have Brink available to pre-load on Steam prior to the game’s release. We’ll have more specific info on that in the days to come."

Yep, drypulse nailed it. Dedicated Server FAQ, first or second paragraph. ^_^

As for when.... who knows. But I wouldn't rule out Friday.
