WoW Euro release date

[scorge]

On the 26th of November, World of Warcraft will be available for pre-order throughout Europe. With more than 330,000 Closed Beta applications received and limited quantities available at launch, players are encouraged to pre-order in order to guarantee their copy of the game. Players who pre-order World of Warcraft at participating retailers will also receive a bonus Soundtrack “EP” at the time of pre-order as well as a personal “Authentication Key” providing guaranteed access in to the European Final Beta Test, once it goes live.



When World of Warcraft launches in Europe later this winter, the standard edition of World of Warcraft will be available in two unique box covers representing the major factions of the world – Alliance & Horde. After the initial shipment, only one of these two covers will survive on the packaging of World of Warcraft.

So, you pre-order and hope that by winter they do not imply February but November/December ?

later this winter

Astronomically, this is the period between the winter solstice and the vernal equinox. It is characterized as having the coldest temperatures of the year, when the sun is primarily over the opposite hemisphere. Customarily, this refers to the months of December, January, and February in the North Hemisphere.

Do remember that when they said the closed beta would start in September in Europe, it started in September; with about 4-6 minutes to spare.
