Well considering today is October the 21st.....

Doesn't answer the question. If it's November, it gives me a chance to get back into WoW. If it's October 18, I can't take advantage of this. Since I'd *like* to take advantage of this, I'm hoping for a clarification.

It would be November 18th.

I've just signed up and it clearly states that DIII is now in in the list of games connected to the account.

(Though I can't download it yet, of course.) :)

It's both. The dates you're quoting out of context are for two different deadlines. You have to already have a WoW account by 2011-10-18, although it can be inactive. The deal is not available for a new account if you create one today, as that date has already past. But for any existing accounts, including unsubscribed/lapsed ones, you can sign up for this deal (resubbing if necessary) before 2011-11-18 and take advantage of it.

Artificial is correct.

Only accounts created BEFORE October 18 are eligible.

You only have until November 18 to sign up.

After that day passes, no one else can sign up.

Many thanks for the responses.

So let's say, hypothetically, one has a Battle.Net account that has a banned WoW account on it, said person got a new WoW key today. That hypothetical individual who totally isn't me would *not* qualify, correct?

Also, the date discrepancy is gone. The splash page for the promo now says 10/18.

:( times infinity.

Thanks for the responses regardless.

If someone has ONE WoW account right now and it is banned, then gets a new WoW account tomorrow, they likely would NOT be eligible for this.

The rules do state you need a current account in good standing. It can be inactive, but can't be banned. Sorry. :(

No worries. Thanks for the info!
