I know it releases April 6th (for NA) but I want to know the exact time, because I was planning on doing a all nighter for the expansion but if it doesn't release till like 11 am then obviously there's no point in doing an all nighter and i'd be wasting precious beauty sleep
I think most expansions went live around mid-day Pacific time on the release date, so that's what I'm assuming. It is a little weird since the WoW expansions go live midnight. I don't see why they're not consistent.
The last few have gone live in the middle of the day, usually within an hour or so of noon EST. During the first expansion or two there were huge problems with people attempting to open huge caches of packs all at once, causing servers to bog down or crash. By moving the release time to mid-day, some of that pressure was alleviated naturally (many people are stuck at work and can't just sit around opening packs, all at the exact same time). At least that's the explanation I recall hearing at the time, and it does make quite a bit of sense.
Generally they only release the patch when people are actually in office, which means the expansion will only release during business hours in California on Thursday (i.e. it will not release before 8:00 AM PST usually). This way if there are major issues the people who can fix it are actually in the office. At least that has been my sense of their releases.
For Europe release time is usually the time you get a new daily quest. So, if you receive a new daily quest at 1 a.m. your local time, you should expect for Un'Goro to go live at 1 a.m. April 7th, several hours after Americas.

10 am PST. 1 pm EST.
Both TGT and OldGods went live at 10am PST
However, MSG went live at 8:30am PST.
So your best bet is the time between 8:30am and 10am PST.
It will go live when it goes live ;)
Just hope that when it does, the servers don't suffer and packs take a year to open. Need muh legendaries!

I think usually it's much much later than midnight, but I forget exactly. 10-11 is probably a good guess.
Of course with Blizzard the most accurate answer is "Soon(tm)".
