Battle for Azeroth Pre-Order Available, Estimated Release Date of September 21st

Well, with Argus defeated and Sargeras imprisoned, Blizzard's attention has turned to what's coming next: Battle for Azeroth.

As we've seen, there's a ton of BFA (I've decided "Battle" is too generic to work as the shortened version of the expansion name) stuff in the 7.3.5 patch, particularly Allied Races. It looks like Allied Races are going to be made available to anyone who pre-purchases the expansion, though it's unclear if that means they're unlocked immediately or if the first four (Void Elves, Highmountain Tauren, Lightforged Draenei, and Nightborne) are going to be brought out gradually.

The other big news is that with this announcement, they've also put forth September 21st as the likely release date. This is subject to change, of course, and the 21st is the beginning of Fall, so they might simply mean "Summer 2018." Still, good to have at least an estimate.

While I'm fairly satisfied with what I've gotten out of Legion, I'm also not that sad to have another eight months or so to work on Mage Tower artifact appearances (I'll be happy if I just get the Protection Paladin one.)

EDIT: Allied races (the first 4) are available immediately! Well, or at least until you finish the queue at the online store. (So a few hours.)
