_______________________________________________________________

The long (LONG) awaited Necromancer class is coming to Diablo 3 tomorrow after maintenance in each region, which starts at 10 AM PDT for the US, 11 PM CEST for EU. You can't actually buy the DLC quite yet, as it will become available when the new patch releases, after the above mentioned maintenance. But what you can do is buy the whole thing with WoW gold, aka the WoW token! With the pack costing $14,99, you'll need one token to get it, and have some cash left over. Current EU prices are around the 220k mark, with the US being lower as usual, at around 130k. Chinese and Korean realms are actually getting the pack 2 days later, on the 29th, and their token prices are crazy high as usual, 390k and 320k, respectively.

Releasing June 27th (source)

Steel your hearts and get ready to maintain the Balance, nephalem. We’re only a week away—The Rise of the Necromancer Pack is arriving June 27 on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One!

---

Comprised of controlled, calculating individuals, the Priests of Rathma have long known the true stakes at the heart of the Eternal Conflict. Known to uneducated outsiders as Necromancers, these masters of blood, bone, and the dark arts are often misunderstood. Driven to protect the Balance at all costs, those dedicated to walking this path see neither good nor evil in their actions; simply obedience to the cycle of being.

The Rise of the Necromancer is a purchasable content pack coming to Diablo III: Reaper of Souls and Diablo III: Ultimate Evil Edition. The pack will be available for purchase starting June 27, 2017 for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, and will cost $14.99 USD.

So at my IRL job I got news this morning that was quite good, basically with lay offs going I'm safe and am actually getting a raise. So fantastic news on the same day that the necromancer pack releases its like a prefect cherry on the sundae and is going to be my reward to myself to celebrate. IRL money is a bit tight at the end of the month, but it seems like a perfect excuse to pick up the necro pack and not sleep for a couple days.

I wasn't planning on actually buying this, but the 220k gold option might be a nice way to compromise.

I was about to say, "Guess I'm getting old," but then I realized, In Real Life, I already am Old... sigh.  Worst, I had to google IRL to know WTF that actually meant.

I work as a Writer/Illustrator in Comic Books (For Marvel, DC, Image and Dark Horse these days) and I guess I really need to keep-up on my acronyms if I wanna converse with people in this Truncated Language Universe.
