Seems I was correct in my assertion of starter editions attached to closed beta participants' accounts - don't need to wait 30 days for SE to go live at all. Also huge lol at the lot of you queens crying that you can't log in on launch night (or better yet, demanding an offline crack - you'd need to play on a non-blizz server and even then you'd need to connect to it so you're stuck in a logic loop). The entire European player base is logging in at the same time - server connection errors were bound to happen. Anyhow, off to work for me. With some luck my CE will be home when I get back.
Ha! I guess that means I could have played last night? I was in the beta, so I can see the SE on my account, so last night at 11 I was trying to log in and I saw it actually authenticate me but then said servers were busy, so I went to bed. I thought that if I didn't have any access to the game it should have failed at authentication, so I guess I was actually being authorised to play, but the servers were simply overloaded.
