My walmarts (florida) have always had games that are huge on the shelves at midnight. It's usually faster to go there as well vs. an EB games where if you're there at midnight you have to wait an hour in line. | ||

I know it will basically just be an adjustment to the current client and server now, but still... Yeah servers will be up starting 12 AM pacific time. I don't remember where I saw this but it was blizzard officially saying it. | ||

I imagine blizzard is putting all servers live at the same time but I can't say that for 100% I just know they said 12 am pacific is when you can start playing which to me applies to all regions, but I could be wrong. | ||

Is there a way to preinstall the game so that at 12, when I pickup a copy, I would be able to just start playing ? | ||

Atleast thats how WoW has been with every expansion. But then there is the login boss, that might screw you over if you plan everything around playing at precisely 00:00 CET. So don't do that, it's old to bitch about something that is bound to happen with allways on DRM shizz. | ||

You actually already have it if your wings of liberty game is up to date. It is installed with the latest patch so that once you buy it and the games released you can automatically start playing without downloading anything else. In short you have it pre-loaded already if you have wings of liberty up to date right now. | ||

But nothing like having to re download the entire game or some crazy shit like that. | ||

 Oh and maybe I suck at searching for things but the only midnight event listed in NA is the one at Blizzard HQ in Irvine. I live in Vegas so no can do for me. | ||

Do you know if WoL will update graphically to look like the HOTS beta, as in smaller queens, more isometric view, etc.? Or will it remain looking slightly different between the two games? It would be weird if they kept the two looking slightly different, especially because I'm under the impression they can both be played from the same client by changing the expansion level dropdown in options. This leads me to believe the (or at least hope) that WoL's graphics will be updated to look like HOTS if they aren't already. | ||

I had to wait 4-5 hours more like and even then the servers were running shit tier level stability so I gave up and went to bed... Had trouble getting on even the next day xD. I don't have much faith in blizzard launches, but HotS has the basic work already laid out so by all means it should be a simple launch. | ||

How about VPN to unlock the game? If i remember correctly a vpn could unlock the installer in wings earlier too for you | ||

It's not really Blizzard though. Big launch always have some hiccups along the way, some are better than others relatively, Blizzard is not all that bad all things considered. | ||

Est time I think it said 3 am. | ||
