Do you want early access to a home in World of Warcraft? Then you need to pre-order. Otherwise, it will take even longer.
In America, the Patch 11.2 Spirits of K’aresh has been online since last night. Some details seem to have slipped into the game that perhaps should not have been released immediately. The pre-order version of the next expansion for World of Warcraft could already be seen in the game’s shop.
The story teaser for Patch 11.2:
What was discovered? In the game’s shop, some players have already been able to pre-order the next WoW addon. Not only was the price revealed, but also a special advantage: Housing. There is early access if you pre-order the addon.
When does the Early Access apply? A concrete date for the early access of housing has not yet been announced. However, since Blizzard has not announced a specific date for the release of Midnight, the exact date will likely be announced later.
What else is included in the versions? Apart from early access, there are a few other bonuses that you get for the different versions. As with previous expansions, there are the “Base”, “Heroic” and “Epic” editions, each providing different bonuses.
Please note in the following table that the contents are not yet finally confirmed and are based on reports from some players:
| Base Edition (€50) | Heroic Edition (€70) | Epic Edition (€90) |
| Midnight + The War Within | Midnight + The War Within | Midnight + The War Within |
| Character boost to level 80 | Character boost to level 80 | Character boost to level 80 |
| 500 Trader’s Tokens | 1,000 Trader’s Tokens | 2,000 Trader’s Tokens. |
| Early access to housing | Early access to housing | Early access to housing |
| – | Lightstrider Transmog Set | Lightstrider Transmog Set |
| – | Lightwing Dragonhawk Mount | Lightwing Dragonhawk Mount |
| – | – | Voidwing Dragonhawk Mount |
| – | – | Pet: Hopeflutter |
| – | – | Pet: Doomfeather |
| – | – | Beta access to Midnight |
| – | – | 3 days early access at launch |
| – | – | Housing bundle: Several items, including portraits of Xal’atah, Alleria, and Turalyon, as well as Light and Void wells. |
| – | – | 30 days of playtime |
One of the most interesting bonuses is probably the 3-day early access at the launch of the expansion as well as the guaranteed beta access. For housing fans, the special decorations might also be an incentive to purchase the most expensive version of Midnight again.
After all, we know one player who will definitely buy the Epic version – because he collects so many items that even Blizzard is impressed.
