WoW: Midnight officially launches today — the queues awaken

Full launch happens globally today (evening for EU), after Early Access since Feb 26.

What it means for gamers: if you waited, you’re in. If you didn’t, you’re already in the economy/meta. Either way: expect queues, hotfixes, and at least one friend who disappears into housing and is never seen again.

The official launch marks the beginning of the first chapter in the Worldsoul Saga, with players flooding the new zones to experience the culmination of years of story build-up.
