    [Question] Different time launch depending on time zone?

    Hi, I'm wondering if they have said anything about whether the release will be at the same time for everyone? or if it will be at midnight for everyone?

    It almost certainly will be the same time for everyone. They wouldn't want to create the shitstorm of letting some ppl who pre-purchased or just bought the game get on earlier than others.
    Nothing official yet..but it will almost certainly be the case.

    There's also no official start time yet...it's just assumed (probably rightly) that it will be midnight for now.

    Considering that you can play on any server from any location in the world I would assume that the launch will be at the same time for everyone.

    August 25th @ 12 am PST

    Don't make the same mistake I did when Cata hit. I was on the east coast then, and at midnight, everyone was like huh??? Had to wait til 3 am. So 12am PST, 2am CT, or 3 am EST. If you live anywhere else in the world, I suck at math, but you get the gist of it.

    If you pre-purchase the game you get it 3 days early, I assume it would be the 25th of august, 12 midnight in America
