- PST, not PDT: one paragraph of Blizzard's post says "PDT", but every other reference says PST.
- US clocks go back on 1 Nov, so 4 Nov is standard time (UTC−8): 3:00pm PST = 23:00 UTC.
- Converters that read it as PDT show times an hour early.

Our own conversions from Blizzard's 3:00pm PST. Blizzard hasn't said whether servers open on the minute or after a short launch maintenance, so expect queues.
Before launch
- Open the Battle.net app and pick World of Warcraft.
- Choose World of Warcraft: Forever under Game Version and install early.
- You need an active WoW subscription or Game Time to play.
