Feldon,
I saw your post on flames. All the above says is that you get a complimentary copy of the 8th EQ2 exp. It makes no mention of when that will be. For example, it could be released Feb 2013. The 2012 fanfair would then “give away” the 8th exp to those who have not already received it, and maybe an additional sweetner.
Of course, it probably will get released in 2012, maybe feb, maybe april, who knows. Most likely Feb because otherwise it will screw up their production time line for future expansions.
