World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade launch is imminent, and players who plan to upgrade to the expansion will need to relog in at or after 12:00 AM CET in order for your account to be acknowledged as Burning Crusade-enabled. Please visit the official website for details on upgrading your account to the Burning Crusade.

Mac Users...

    There was a slight flaw in the most recent edition of the Mac Burning Crusade **Closed Beta** installer - the version that could install on top of WoW 2.0.1. The consequence of this flaw is that the install of the actual product could be interfered with, if and when you go to install the shipping version of Burning Crusade which becomes available January 16th.

    However, it is not hard to work around this flaw. Here is what you need to do prior to installing Burning Crusade:

    a) move the Burning Crusade beta folder to the trash and empty the trash. As Closed Beta is coming to an end, this should not be a great loss :)

    b) run the standard version of WoW once, after you have deleted the Closed Beta folder from your system.

    Q: What if I never participated in the Burning Crusade Closed Beta?
    A: You should not be affected by this issue.

    Q: What if I was in the Burning Crusade Closed Beta, but I only used the original 1.12 compatible beta installer?
    A: You will probably not be affected, but just to be sure, go ahead and delete the Beta game folder and run classic WoW one time before initiating the installation of Burning Crusade.

Blizz on EU PCT Cooldowns.

    We are in the process of resetting the cooldown for all characters that have used the Paid Character Transfer service within the last three months. This is being done to allow any players to transfer their characters again for The Burning Crusade.

    We expect this process to be done before midnight today.
