Any chance we wont have to pay to reserve a name or that Blizzard will change their mind on this? This seems anit consumer.

Yes…
** To align with other regions, the Americas character creation will occur slightly ahead of August 13.
I quoted that bit in my post, or are you trying to point out something else?
Only your friends may not even be playing on the same layer as you. Sure, you might all be on Laughing Skull, but you may not actually be playing together in the same layered world.

This works so well for me. I have had 3 toons I’ve played mainly since vanilla. A human paladin, a dwarf priest, and a night elf druid. I am ready.

An August 27th release means that the bump in subs would go on the autumn earnings report.
By “gently encouraging” people to sub two weeks early, they can get a bump in subs just in time for the summer earnings report.
The justification that it “gets us into the game quicker” is as ludicrous as saying that loot trading was to “solve loot issues faster”.
Of course, this will help with server stability a bit, since you won’t have people rushing to log in and crashing the servers quite so hard at character select, but that could have been solved just by opening the servers for name reservation 1 day, or even 3 hours, earlier.

Technically still summer gotcha - Blizzard.

Super excited for name reservations–we know how hot buying and selling certain names can be and this puts a great limit on anyone really trying to corner names on launch night when we should just be enjoying the game.

Yeah, the manipulation of their player base to get an extra $7.50 is absurd.
