World of Warcraft’s newest expansion, Midnight, is almost upon us, and it is a big one. <\/em>Huge overhauls including the culling of most combat addons<\/a>, your expansion-standard class changes (and a bunch of not-expansion-standard specialisation redesign<\/a>), the introduction of player housing (I can’t believe this game didn’t have it for over 20 years!), and the reimagining of some of its oldest zones.<\/p>\n

If you’re anything like my major MMOhead pals, you’re probably wondering just when you can get stuck into the second chapter of the Worldsoul Saga. Well, erm, it depends. Partly on how much money you spent buying the expansion. Midnight has a short early access period, and if you picked up the Epic Edition you’ll be able to jump in a little earlier than everyone else. Here are both the early access and general release times for each region.<\/p>\n

Good news if you forked out for the nice shiny Epic Edition of Midnight: you can jump into the game half a week before everyone else. Early access begins on February 26, which is actually February 27<\/strong> depending on where you are in the world. Bonus: if you live somewhere like Germany or France, you get to play Midnight <\/em>at <\/strong><\/em>Midnight. <\/em>Huge.<\/p>\n
