Wrath of the Lich King Classic is shortly set to go live for World of Warcraft, and as usual Blizzard has provided precise details on the WotLK release time so you'll know exactly when you can log in.
The WotLK release time is set for midnight CEST on the morning of September 27. That's a single, global release time, so you won't have to endure Australia and New Zealand playing hours ahead of you or anything. That also means that folks in the Americas will be able to get in the evening of September 26, so no need to wait for the official release date for the WoW Classic expansion to roll around.
Blizzard's provided a chart breaking down how the release will spread across time zones. If you've got to squint to make them out, however, you scroll a bit further to see those times in bullet point form.

As with all WoW Classic expansions. Wrath of the Lich King is included as part of your normal WoW subscription. You can purchase upgrades for various in-game bonuses, however. The Heroic upgrade gets you a level 70 character boost with appropriate gear, the Pebble penguin pet, and a tuskarr fishing companion. The Epic upgrade gets you all that that plus a Whalebone Glider mount in Classic and a Tuskarr Shoreglider in non-Classic, and 30 days of game time.
Get in the mood to return to the glory days of one of the best MMOs with an incredible Wrath of the Lich King trailer built by a community legend.
