It will vary depending on the store you purchase the game from. Erik said around 9AM EST. But could be as late as 12pm EST....GP

I looked it up and found I bought the original DW on my birthday in April 2010.

I surely wasn't 'young' back them but 12 years passing makes me feel ancient :cry:

I was assuming it will be released 0000 on the 10th UTC which is in three hours time.
What else does 10th of March mean?

So is the 2nd US server. 1st server says it will take 4-7 days to download on 300gb DL speed connection for 4.8gb download?

The alternate mirror servers are still being synchronized, that can take up to an hour from when the release goes live. Have you tried the primary server?

I'm told the mirrored servers for extra download locations will finish syncing inside of about 5 minutes from now.
