It was easy to datamine the box art previously because you could just mess around with the URL to get the new image.
Sometime after the MoP box was datamined they changed that and there's now some long unguessable hashes in the URL meaning we can't actually guess them anymore.
For example, MoP box art is
eu.battle.net/account/static/images/products/box-art/games/world-of-warcraft-mists-of-pandaria-collectors-edition/8250ecf6-c1d1-4c35-b581-77c7e73edf7f/default/3d.png
Note the bold part, we can't guess box art anymore. This is the URL for the WoD pre-purchase boxart.
eu.battle.net/account/static/images/products/box-art/upgrades/world-of-warcraft-warlords-of-draenor/d12b06b6-ff4a-4038-a5fe-2192d64ef018/default/3d.png
Again, we can't guess it with the bold part.
Because we have proper WoD box art now thanks to the pre-purchase stuff they technically don't need beta box art anymore.
Most people now a days don't spend money on preorders they ussually wait until after or a couple days before to buy a game because their is really no fear of not being able to get a copy. If someone really wanted the game they would just buy a digital copy, if they were no more physical copies.
No MMO has sold completely out since WoW, only reason they had no digital keys back than.
I don't always hunt things, But when I do, It's because they're things & I'm a Bear.
As a note: US DID NOT have maintenance. AT ALL. And they still enabled it. So maintenance wasn't required to enable it. (I believe there are rolling restarts today)
FYI Beta servers are always in the us, i belive they are even at the blizz hq in irvine. Even the EU one. So EU maintenance should nothing have to do with beta servers.
