Release time for High School Years?

So, I’ve just noticed that the high school pack won’t release at midnight as usual (CEST time). At least it says 19.00 CEST in origin.

Does anyone know why? Such a huge bummer, been looking forward to play the game in less than two hours but now we have to wait 9 more hours?! :(

    The initial release schedule for EPs was spread throughout the week, with some countries getting it on Tuesday, while others had to wait until Thursday or maybe even Friday.
    Then somewhere along the way, it was changed to the "midnight rolling release" on Friday.
    And I think it was with Cottage Living that it was changed to the single global release time. Like it always has been for Game and Stuff packs.
    Purely theoretically, that is the fairest method, but practically, you have to live in a time zone that gets the pack at a nice moment in the day - or you have to be a vampire.

    Edited because I misread something ?

    Cottage Living was this way. That was the first expansion to do that, so I'm afraid everything now will be released this way.
  • As I remember Cottage Living, Werewolves and Wedding were also released at 19:00. It doesn't surprise me... We have to wait :)

  • I think so. Because the release CEST time is 19.00. One hour after UK-time
  • I'm so frustrated, waited all day for this pack to drop but now it won't download. I'm on PS4 and preordered, it just says unavailable in ps store. Anyone else having this problem? :'(
  • @Drea83 I’m sorry to hear that. I play on pc so haven’t experienced that. Have you tribes to restart everything?
