On http://eu.battle.net/hearthstone the release date is 2 December so tomorrow MSG will be available on EU, maybe already this night with a bit of luck.
While you are waiting for the launch you can play Left 4 Dead 2 and have a lot of fun ;) if you love single player rpg you should try Undertale, is an amazing game imho!
It's night in USA, and blizzard is based in the west coast. Maybe wait for them to get to work so they can turn on the switch....
with only 3 expansions per year is it that much to ask to work through the night to enroll gadgetzan in time for everyone.
also it is only evening in the west coast when morning hits for europe so they could just enroll it early in the morning for eu and go to bed to enroll it for na the next morning
OH yeah that's some really amazing manageurial skills you're displaying there! I'm sure the team would love to do a night shift to monitor a worldwide release instead of working their usual hours because you can't just turn on the switch and not monitor anything OBVIOUSLY....
Considering they only do 3 releases per year and get millions of dollars from us it's that unreasonable to ask for a worldwide release, even if it means they'll won't sleep for a couple of days per year? Seriously?
Yes, it is ureasonable, because people who wouldn't sleep are regular employees and not those who would make this decision.
Just to warn everyone, even once the expansion is live, there's a good chance it will be hard to get in to play. For basically every set since Naxx the servers have been a mess. So set your expectations low.
Why NA get all the goodies first, Blizzard needs to relise stuff properly FeelsBadMan
Because NA made the game? Therefore that region gets the first access. Just like when Pokémon was huge- Japan always got everything earlier. It's the way things work.
FeelsRightMan lol

Still not sure if I hate Hearthstone...or love it.
For people upset about EU releasing later, this is how it's always been and always will be. Blizzard is based on the West Coast of the United States and only release things for Hearthstone at about 9 AM (on a normal release) PST. For GMT, that is 5 PM. On heavier releases such as this, they release a little later at about 11 AM or 1 PM (7 PM and 9 PM respectively). The further towards Asia you go, the later it releases. TBH, Asian and Oceanic countries have it way worse.
Can someone tell me why content is always being released later on eu? Are we second class players or what?
IT is because Blizzard is in California, so they release things during working hours in California so everyone is on hand to address any unexpected problems that might come up.
If you haven't noticed a pattern yet (which has been the same for all Hearthstone expansions up to this point) Blizzard releases the content at 10 AM PST / 1 PM EST. If you need to check your timezone there are plenty of websites that can help you with that.

no you have a bunch of unsatisfied customers from outside the US. the team should be really excited about this release since they worked on it pretty hard and should be willing to work the night to satisfy their customers. in the end blizzard is all about money which they make by offering entertainment to their customers. with shit like this they only make their customers angry which will hurt their revenues.
There are also things called Labor laws that keep you from working people for too many hours straight.
And a bad release problem woulf hurt sales/reputation more than a few people that want the e passion early complaining.
Also, consider the same thing happens with Movies. If your in the US you have to wait sometimes weeks extra before a movie comes out that is made in the UK (James Bond in particular). A Global economy doesn't mean simultaneous releases for everything.
I don't care that EU gets it on Friday, it will be early in the morning when Gadgetzan will be available, because this means that the servers will probably work fine, so people who stay up until it's released won't have to wait for a few hours until they can actually play, and the other people can play once they wake up with stable servers.
The expansions are released simultaneously. Blizzard doesn't release it one region at a time, but all at once, so the whole world gets the content turned on at the same moment

Seriously this guy can not get enough of my upvotes. Other countries got to see the new Warcraft movie weeks before the US which was annoying.
Also to answer your questions, yes EU are second class players, It makes sense that the team that is in the US would prioritize realeasing it first to the US to make sure everything is running smoothly. Like you people gotta calm down there are some stuff that EU players get first and most collectors editions of games are much better then what we get in the US.

All Hearthstone content launches at 10 AM PST. It always has, it always will.

Peace, love and good weed. Even just tons of good weed can be enough, thanks!

But it'll happen soon enough!

Lots of new players to Blizzard Games.
Every release day it's been around 1300 est 11 pst. About 3 hours and 40 minutes from this post.
Not sure if hyped yet.

Actually, this is an internet forum. I'm not surprised at all.
