Not sure if this has been asked but Blizz is saying we'll all be playing at midnight of May 15th. I wonder if servers will be open at midnight for each timezone, or the timezone that Blizzard's office is in, which is 4 hours behind my timezone, so technically I won' t be playing till 4am ADT May 15th. Would like some clarification on that. It's probably as I mentioned, but would be good to know especially for the Euro players who will be waiting till noon on May 15th to play. Or the Asian players who may have to wait till the 16th to play.
it will be opened at 00:00 in ur time zone as all blizzard games so far .
That's not true, Cataclysm was opened at 12:00am PST, which is 4:00am my time, so I was able to take a nap before playing. Now I'm not certain if Europe will be different, I admit, it's possible you guys will have a different time zone it starts, but I know for NA Cataclysm was PST.

Hey Brenugae, you're in Halifax,NS..Same here. Cheers!
Ya, that's just a ridiculous idea that it would be at midnight in each time zone, that would mean people on the east coast got a jump start because it's midnight there first. Blizzard is based in CA, and previous things have gone live using PST so it will be the same for this.

Okay, I'm hearing 2 different answers. One being it will be available for 12am midnight in my timezone, and I'm hearing 12am Pacific Daylight Time (Blizz's office location)..all the more reason for clarification from Blizzard on this..Someone send a tweet to bashiok or JW perhaps?
Not correct. Wrath of the Lich King launched in each time zone at midnight. I did not stick around for Cataclysm so I cannot speak for that. Ya, people cried that the people on the East Coast got a few hours head start. If having some people start playing a game a few hours before you matters that much, yikes.

Yeah seriously. I'm really curious about this myself.
negative sir, it says "Simply complete the digital pre-sale process, and your account will be flagged for automatic access to Diablo III when it launches at 12:01 a.m. PDT on May 15."
That has nothing to do with servers, digital version (even when servers came on at EST TIMES) were always PST based

Highlander trust me on this, they don't release on midnight in your time zone, its theirs, as people have said it wouldn't be "fair" to release it at different times, as I would be able to play it before you :P!
You should be happy though! Just go to bed early and wake up at like 3:30 to play! It comes out at 1:00 AM where I am so sleep isn't an option, but who is going to be able to sleep knowing its just hours away!

Euro servers would perhaps have a closer to their midnight server go time, than North American servers.
Haha, nice!

No, no it has not, in fact it has never been that other than most recent games,, (2)

EDIT: I guess that can be construed as the game itself launching too.
