The question I have, that I haven't seen answered anywhere, is if I buy my copy in Chicago as midnight (10p Pacific), If I will be able to play immediately after installing, as it has been for other expansions, or if I will have to wait until 2am central. I know for DIGITAL DOWNLOAD, I would have to wait, but for boxed copy, this isn't clear to me.

Note that in wotlk, servers haven't come down on release night... it was just, either you had cata installed and patched or you didn't.

They made it clear at Blizzcon that everybody will have to wait for midnight PACIFIC TIME.

So 3am on the East Coast.

Any link to the 3am announcement? I didn't attend or order the stream so I'm sure I missed some announcements, but I also didn't see anything about when East Coasters will be able to play if we get an [b]in-store[/b] copy.
