It's on the official blizzard site, I think you can change your currency (can't check right now since the store seems to be offline?)

Also, the US isnt the only country in the NA region (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_North_American_countries), and just because ONLY one country uses a fucked up time format (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Date_format_by_country) it shouldn't represent their whole region...

Clan is the only one they have managed to complete from that list during the past 6 months right? Do you guys believe the rest of those 6 are so much easier to add to the game that they manage to do all of them in the next 4 months?
No they cant.

They will charge 40USD or € or 100AUD for a patch that will be released as unfinished as WoL and D3 were.


Global Play, Clan/Group System and Unranked Matchmaking will be in HotS. Unranked matchmaking is ALREADY in the beta, Global Play is coming out "Soon™;" and Clan/Group will be out on release.

Can't find release dates anywhere else so this might be fake. It's good it takes time anyway because the game still needs a lot of balance before they should release it.

$40 is not expensive at all for an expansion, especially if Legacy of the Void won't be out for another 2-3 years. Every single WoW expansion has been $40, on top of the $15 subscription fee, and you don't see people complaining about that. Stop being cheap.

wow expansion set always have far larger content than anything else. but on the other hand, HotS is more like trying to pick up where WoL left off. It does feels like a rip off especially US dollars is 3-3.5 times the currency of my country.

so yeah, it is expensive but still affordable.

It was there this morning before the servers went down. I remember seeing it and going to TL to see if anyone had posted about it. Lo and behold, there was a thread up already.

Ok to end all discussion about this release date, here is my E-mail sent to me by Blizzard itself.

It is not FAKE since I don't have time for such nonsense ;
The release date is 12 March 2013

It is expensive for a game that most play for the multiplayer (at least most here on TL). I can buy both Natural selection 2 AND Primal carnage for the same cost, two new and fairly well received multiplayer games. That people actually think that $40 is a fair price just shows how much people just buy off the name of the company rather than the game itself.

EU will get it for 45€ at best... typical Blizzard cash cowing


You're paying as much for a Blizzard expansion in 2012 as you would have in 2003 and that's with inflation included.

It's a good buy. There's absolutely zero reason to start the "cash cowing" hate train other than just blind trolling.


Exept that HotS adds one third of the content to the game that Frozen Throne added, and one tenth compared to WoW expansions.


You think that overhauling the entire UI and improving the physics and graphics engine doesn't count as added content? Also comparing it to a WoW expansion is dumb in the first place because WoW has a monthly payment system. When you look at what someone has paid to play WoW from release till now with buying every single expansion and not missing a single monthly payment i'd say you could buy a pretty decent car with that money.


Haha, ye a car that might still drive, but not decent :D, for this money i get wintertires for my car ...

Soon like PvP in D3?

Or soon like name change, and USM market place in WoL?
