Lost Ark's servers will be open before the Lost Ark Gold game's launch, with players being able to get head start access on February 8th at 9 AM Pacific time. However, players won't be able to play through the game early unless they have a Founder's Pack purchased. The Founder's Pack is available for purchase in different tiers, which will provide players a variety of different benefits, such as a special title for participating in Lost Ark's launch or an exclusive pet companion. These packs can be bought either through Steam or Amazon. If one is purchased at any time during the Head Start, a founder will be able to play for the remainder of the period.

Servers for all regions open for launch at February 11 at 9 AM Pacific, where players will be able to play Lost Ark for free. Lost Ark includes a variety of activities that players can participate in, including hunting, fishing, and sailing across the world. This sailing allows for players to reach private island getaways, where they can then reach and build strongholds.

The developers also list when the servers for Lost Ark will be reset daily and weekly, with these periods being set for 1 AM or later depending on the regional time zone. Core content such as raids, dungeons, and PvP will all be adjusted to maintain the best local hours. The post also notes that the in-game time on the UI will display the game's server time, and not the player's local time. A list of servers was also available for players to view, with additional worlds cheap Lost Ark Gold possibly being opened based on population levels.
