▪️ Europe: 09 April 17:00 GMT
▪️ Asia: 10 April 02:00 KS / 01:00 CST

Good luck to you, the newest member of the League of E.V.I.L.! We’ll see you in the tavern, soon.
Who is hyped? What will you be doing when the expansion drops?
Do it.
Wasn’t the last time also simultaneous global launch?
At least I definitely remember that EU and US launches were at the same time. Dunno about Asia and China
It is simultaneous, wtf?
Really excited for a fresh meta, although im a little disgusted with blizzards practices with pricing lately. $50 for a pre-order and $80 is way too much. At that price I could buy more than enough games to keep me busy for a whole year during a steam sale...
It's called corporate greed. Gotta please the shareholders so their stock goes up
If everyone stops spending money, Blizzard stops developing the game.
If you like a game, it's ok to spend money on it.
I do agree however that Blizzard gets greeding with the prices though...
Posting "it's too expensive" on a fan based forum will certainly make them reconsider...
Time for bed. I'll be having sweet dreams of Deathstalker Rexxar Bloodreaver Gul'dan Frost Lich Jaina no longer existing dancing in my head.
14 more hours.
After having just gotten out of a game where I got destroyed by a topdecked Gul'dan, I couldn't agree more
new expansion = new whizbang decks
cant wait
Glad we got the official announcement. I was worried it wouldn't be the same time as every other expansion that's been released for the past 4 years.
Ok, once the ROS is up, I will fool around with some of my theorycraft decks. compare with some Pro Players' decks. Tweak...tweak a lot. I think the meta will settle after two or three weeks. Only then the game will really start to take off and we'll see how good is this new meta.
Is it the Archmage Vargoth already unlocked?? -_-'
Yes! Since the last patch a few days ago.
What are you doing here then? What do you gain from telling anonymous strangers that you probably won't bother logging in?
Maybe it's the attention that you crave
Same thing people get from telling randos they are logging in, discussion. I got it anyway.
Oh lord, do I stay up past 1 AM here in Western Australia to enjoy the xpac at launch?
Probably not worth it - especially with server load at that time - but xpacs are much more fun before everyone starts copying whatever decks streamers have been having success with.
3am in QLD. I'll probably just wake up at 5am instead. 3am was hard work last time.
Hypeeeeeee... also pumped for the single player content!!!
if it's as the last xpansions, you need to wait 2 weeks after the xpansion release so dont be too hype yet.
