So, it seems like just about everyone and their grandma working at NWR can hop on this bandwagon now. Seriously.
So, here’s the deal. Last fall, they had this Switch Online trial thing happening. It’s back—more spots this time. If you’re over 18 and subscribed to the Expansion Pack (that’s important, people), today at 6 p.m. ET is your magic moment. Applications open Monday at 11 a.m. and slam shut on Wednesday, one minute before 11 a.m. Like, why the weird times? Dunno.
Oh, and if you’re in Japan, good luck because you might end up in a lottery. But the rest? First come, first snagged. The test itself? It’s like a mini-season, starting July 28 at 9 p.m. ET and wrapping up on August 10 at 9:59 p.m. (That one minute shy of a nice round number, though).
Now, let’s talk differences. October saw just 10,000 users trying their luck. This time? Boom, 40,000. You’re welcome. More countries can play now too—hello Canada, Mexico, Brazil! So they’re joining the US, Japan, UK, and all those European folks. And hey, you can gather your buddies—groups of four can apply together. Makes it feel more like a team sport or something.
There you have it. Messy, but you get the point, right?
