If you’re one of those Expansion Pack people and you hit 18 by 6 p.m. ET today, guess what? You’re in luck. Applications kick off Monday at 11 a.m. and they close—blink and you’ll miss it—right before 11 a.m. on Wednesday. Now, Japan’s got this funky lottery thing going on, but everyone else? It’s like grabbing concert tickets at this point. First come, first snagged. The whole shebang runs from July 28, 9 p.m. ET till the end of August 10. Ten past nine, if you want specifics.
Oh boy, three big changes since last October. Can you handle it? First, way more players can dive in—40,000 now instead of just 10,000.

And hey, group play’s a thing now—up to four people. Neat, right?
