The expansion content will be fully accessible by 9 pm pacific time tomorrow night.



I confirmed that the Wrath of the Lich King content will be made available at midnight in your respective US time zone, which happens to occur first for those on the east coast - 9 p.m. pacific time.

I also feel it's unfair that east coasters get to watch The Daily Show every night before I do, but apparently psychics and astronomy are not on my side.

Not 100% sure if this means you are a westie and somehow get a hardcopy prior to midnight that you can play starting a 9 on a pst server, but it looks like you could on an est one.

Nope, unless you have connections, you have to wait until midnight in your respective time zones to get wotlk from retailers. No early purchases allowed.

sometimes

however there is a message on the loggin that they are doing an urgent fix for this issue and that the items will be taken away and points refunded, no mention of people being punished in any way for it

I haven't played since mid-july and find it difficult to want to reactivate my account. I have a level 70 prot warrior in kara gear and a 70 holy priest in T5. My big beef is what they've done with spellpower making so much gear universal. It just seems to me that the point of having diff. classes is to strive for diff. gear. I know the coefficients are different for everyone, but what have you all done to get over that hump, and for those of you that do end game content, what kind of shift in dynamic did it bring to your palying experience?

Any change that leads to less sharded gear is a good change imho.

It is nice it is on a Thursday thought ... gives us all weekend.

I have never had GS give away my reservation...i must have reserved 5-6 games so far this year that they kept on hold for me beyond the midnight releases.

I'm going with some friends to get it tonight, firs thing I'm doing is making my DK. I'll prolly do the DK quest chain tonight as well even though I have to work tomorrow but it'll be worth it.

I also ordered from gamestop. I'm not into the whole 'pick it up at midnight' junk.

Friend of mine is picking up his copy at midnight, but he won't even be able to play until Thursday night.. so what's the point?
