    Az has its own unique time since we are special-wonderful snow flakes. What about our time.

    12:00 a.m. PST (Pacific Standard Time) on Thursday, November 13. You can use the timezone converter (see original blue post earlier in the thread) to convert it to timezones local to your area.

    Thanks for the info Rygarius, but I would like to know how it will be the beginning of WoD? It will be like in Mop where we where in Orgrimmar and received a question leading us to Pandaria? Do we need to logoff and logon again at midnight? Do we need to stay in Orgrimar or any other specific area?

    Cheers

    There shouldn't be a need to relog once Warlords goes live. Characters that are eligible (Level 90 character, with Warlords) should receive a quest notifying/asking them to go speak with a person of interest.
