I know East Coasters can pick it up 3 hours early but can they login? Do the servers go WOTLK enabled at 9:01 PM PST?

Has a blue said anything about this yet? Can west coast players log in at 9pm?

Any ideas?

Why is it important..?

They did for BC, so I'd assume if you illegally have the game before the set release date of November 13th at 12:01 AM, then you'd be able to play.

I dont think so, because you wont be able to buy the xpack until midnite your local time anyways.

Q u o t e:
The expansion content will be fully accessible by 9 pm pacific time tomorrow night.

Orly?

Last expansion went by pacific time midnight before allowing content to be accessed.

So those of us waiting on the west coast for a midnight release will be 3 hours behind this expansion? Any reason for the change of policy?

But good luck getting a copy of WoTLK before midnight

I was playing TBC by 1am eastern. that's only 10 pst, so I don't know where you're getting this "policy" from.

because you know releasing something at 3am on the east coast is completely fair

Not true. TBC was up and running on the east coast at midnight. I was there. :)
