Important question: If you played back in vanilla WoW, how did you pronounce "UBRS" and "LBRS" when you had to say them out loud?

Im on the east coast. I want to have the game as soon as possible.. Do i have to wait until Midnight Pacific time to start the digital download? That puts me 3 hours behind if so, and would put me in Gamestop at Midnight instead of my comfy computer chair screaming at my mom for more hotpockets.
If MoP is like every other expansion and Blizzard game, you'll have the game downloaded long before it launches. Most of the content will already be on your computer with 5.0.4, the pre-expansion patch -- a small patch on launch day, and you'll be good to go.
Ryan14 asked:
Are individual achievements within raid meta achievement going account wide? For example, If I got Full House for the ICC Meta-Achievement on Character A, but I have all the the other ICC achievements on Character B, when Mists hit, would Character A and B get the full ICC Meta-achievement?
While progress on normal achievements is not shared between accounts, progress on meta achievements is. If you got one raid achievement on one character and another raid achievement on another, and both are on a meta, both characters will have the same meta progress.

Tol Barad. Did we ever get an explanation on what was going on out there? There are a bunch of crazy soldiers, a bunch of crazy villagers, dead sailors, crazy shipbuilders, more dead soldiers, and horde and alliance locked in eternal conflict. Why did Garrosh want this place and why did the alliance care enough to even go? I was really hoping at some point an evolution of the isle to answer a few questions about this place.
The history of Tol Barad is a little spotty, and the explanation for what's going on there even more so. We had a Know Your Lore article that went into it a little bit, but basically, if you're looking for real answers, you're probably not going to get any, especially from Blizzard.
Mix asked:
When the Ranged slot goes away, for the purposes of enchants, will Hunters weapons be considered 1H or 2H?
I don't know for certain, but given that the ranged slot is now your only weapon slot, seems reasonable to assume they're considered two-handed.
Puntable1 asked:
The Alliance are getting an Airship configured to be an Aircraft Carrier, and a Naval ship configured with extra cannon. Do the Horde get any new weapons of mass destruction?
Garrosh.
