Barring any unexpected outages or server issues, WoW TBC Classic will officially launch on June 1 at 5pm CT.

For those in different time zones, Blizzard made a map detailing exactly what time that translates to for you.

On the east coast of the U.S., it will be 6pm ET, which is also 3pm PT.

With the release of the game launching in the afternoon for the U.S., about half of the world will actually be getting access to the game on June 2 because of time zone differences. 

This means the game will launch at midnight in Paris and early in the morning on June 2 in Asia.
