Not much of a heads up.
I expect it to be that same time⊠make your characters then hop over to stress test client. Also itâs the 13th not the 12th unless youâre talking about something elseâŠ
A week has been the usual heads up for changed tests. The extra one they slotted in, the cancellation etc.
Itâs the 13th UTC, which means 3pm PDT on the 12th for West Coast USA, 6pm for East Coast.

Could be a lot of US players have the same confusion about the UTC announcement and wait until the 13th to create their character. 
All the better for me to get my names.
So you can reserve your name and stuff on August 12th?
Iâm lost.
$180 is a mere pittance in order to be a night Elf Hunter named Legolas.

Come up with 1 name every two days and write them down, starting today. That way, when Classic launches you can just pick another name if the one you choose is taken. And now you just saved half a month of subscription.
You know the more I think about that the more I think they need to change that during the 2 weeks leading up to launch. Itâs an easy change.
I have no idea whether it would be easy or not, but it would be a nice change.
Most likely 1 line of code. They have both numbers when listing realms.
Yes, it isnât going to be one day and that is it. They are going to bring servers up on the 13th and keep them up to let people create characters, change their mind on names or looks, change to a different server, etc.
Gotta reserve those key names. xXx_Goku69_xXx, Darklordofdarkness, Vegetadeathmaster and other ones are going to be in high demand. Gotta get in there early.
Iâm gonna pick those regular names for fun. Generic names like Dave, Karen, and Jennifer for my bank alts. Stuff like that always amuses me =P
Iâm going to make my character on all RP servers and wait to see which I level.
Yup. Tisâ the problem. Iâm leaning toward just waiting. I like names that are a bit unusual so what I want probably wonât be taken anyway.
LOL All the variations of Legolas in the old days. I assume they arenât allowing special characters in character names? I hope not.

August 13th UTC. Calculate the time based on your own timezone.

Did they announce the character creation time somewhere? I know the date is listed, but the time of day was something I havenât seen listed yet.
I was under the impression that the times listed here were only for launch day, though it would make sense that those times were also for the character creation.
** To align with other regions, the Americas character creation will occur slightly ahead of August 13.
