World of Warcraft The War Within Early Access

Blizzard announces that Early Access is underway for The War Within, the latest expansion for World of Warcraft, the endboss of MMORPGs. This is for owners of one of the fancier editions outlined on this page. The announcement also includes a schedule of when the expansion will launch for everyone else, which is August 26th at 6:00 pm EDT translated into various time zones. Here's a trailer and word:
Get back in the fight as you defend Azeroth from the shadows below. Journey through never-before-seen subterranean worlds filled with hidden wonders and lurking perils, down to the dark depths of the nerubian empire, where the malicious Harbinger of the Void is gathering arachnid forces to bring Azeroth to its knees.

World of Warcraft’s next expansion—The War Within—will launch in the Americas, Europe, Taiwan, Korea, and Australia/New Zealand at the same time globally. Wherever you live and whatever faction you represent, you can be part of one globally unified front as the way into the Khaz Algar opens.

Nothing like paying $40 for a couple days early access, and to be Beta testers. I love the game but damn this screams scummy.
Know your audience... I would like to know how many people paid the extra $40 for the a couple of days of early access. If it is less than a million I'd be shocked.

Most of my Guild Officers' did not. However I see Achievements from Guild members popping up as they work their way through the Exp a couple days early. 'Know your Audience' indeed.

Not paying €40 ($40'ish) to play a couple days earlier.
Yeah, I got the expansion, but not the extra cost one. I'm fine waiting until next Tuesday to play.
EDIT: Looks like the expected new-expansion teething problems are being fielded by the players that have paid extra for early buggy access, so hopefully the full rollout on Tuesday goes better than history expects.

Not paying €40 ($40'ish) to play a couple days earlier. Not even my MMO of choice is going to create that costly of FOMO for me.

On a superficial level, they are dwarves. They have access to unique customizations and they have their own racial abilities. Also new animations and voice lines.

Lore wise they are several thousands of years separated from the established Alliance dwarves.

Earthen are an allied race, not Alliance.

They are like Pandaren and Dracthyr, they can pick either faction.

Man, they're getting lazy and cheap. One race for allies only? And it's dwarf?
