Blizz is freakin unfair. They gave EU accounts a 9 hour headstart to play.
12.00 am CET for Europe vs 12.00 am PST for NA accounts.
Damn u blizz!
Now world's first won't be someone from NA account!

NA is ahead of EU, not behind. Unless it is going live at same time worldwide, you might have your facts wrong.
Have you hugged a Gnome today?
Cataclysm will launch on the 7th day of December, at one minute past midnight. That much we share. However, depending on where you live, it will either follow midnight CEST or PST. In that, the OP is correct - EU does get a headstart. As for the world first, it's about time the americans didn't get all the advantages..
Nothing in life is fair.
I have the benefit of being in GMT-5 and playing on EU servers, so when servers come up at 00:01 GMT+1 on the 7th, I will be able to play at 6:01 PM EST on the 6th

Boo hoo my heart bleeds...Get a grip!
the sales will happen at midnight, you can install the game but the servers will not be playable until 12pm pst.
first post was correct
all servers go live (eu us) 00:01
You know EU's maintenance is on Wednesdays, right?
Skoddraei, Draenei Shaman, Quel'Thalas-EU
I think it's gonna work like this, It's gonna go live at 12:01 PST, so us on the east coast have to wait till 3am to play. i think they are trying to sync the time to release all at the same time so everyone has a shot to world first 80 or whatever. But atleast i'll have time to go pick up my copy from midnight release, install/patch and be ready by 3am
Yes but they never have maintenance on the day after an expansion release. They didn't in the past two releases and I can say with 99% certainty that they won't this time either.
You're correct as far as North American time zones go, but EU servers are coming online at 00:01 paris time which is GMT+1, PST being GMT-8I think it's gonna work like this, It's gonna go live at 12:01 PST, so us on the east coast have to wait till 3am to play. i think they are trying to sync the time to release all at the same time so everyone has a shot to world first 80 or whatever.

Hmm, well if that's the case then, I will be able to start on December 6th in the afternoon as I play on a EU server.

Thought servers worldwide didn't go online until 12:01 pst
