They'd have to transfer gold over. If you earned it while on a paid Tavern Pass or from paid Arena tickets, that's definitely yours to keep! If they didn't the shit-show might be larger than the tavern pass itself.
But yeah, gaining some progression on other servers for the rewards, if one has the time to do so, is not a bad idea at all.
Except that comment about Wild was more targeted toward China, which won't be a part of Global Battle.net because of the game being run by another provider there. While I don't doubt that effect may trickle out to other Eastern countries, just having more players in the collective pool should help things in the Wild zone.
If you have an Archmage Antonidas on NA and on EU, you should end up with 2 copies of the card should collections get merged. Blizzard couldn't do this any other way because of people spending actual money on multiple servers. It is one thing to get something for free and then having the "two" copies just stay as one, but with money involved, you need to have the ability to dust those cards.
I'd love to see even ranked ladder go global though tbh. Having a single spot for a #1 legend and then figuring out different way of handling possible esports qualifications would be awesome. It would also be really neat to have a unified meta since sometimes you can see some variance between the regions, though not as much as China has seen compared to everywhere else.
I'm hoping we get announcements about Hearthstone globalfication on the run up to the next expansion. I'd also just take this Hearthstone year though so December or even right before Year of the x starts next April, that'd be cool too.
The uniqueness aspect definitely sucks, I think it would have been neat of Blizzard to make the outline of the deck slot golden if you got a card back the first time it was available. It would be a very minor thing to make people stand out while letting everyone enjoy all the card backs.
It does look like some stuff will remain exclusive longer though, the pre-order card backs that are available are ancient history at this point, so that might be the best source of "cool" now.
I won't lie though, it'll be awesome to see people rocking even more card backs on ladder now. A whole new card back meta game just began =)
I believe they go by the amount of money you've been spending on Hearthstone. A sibling of mine who is F2P has only gotten the bottom-tier bundles so far and myself, a definite whale, has gotten every bundle that is max priced. I have another few cases that are similar, but by no means is this exhaustive reasoning behind how they calculate who gets what.
I wish they'd just let everyone pick what bundle they wanted. I understand that has a negative in that people that would be offered 20 packs would probably buy the 20 packs but if they were offered the choice between 10,20, and 30 its possible they've be very happy with just the 10 so that could be a potential loss, but I think its a worthy option regardless. Exact line of thinking with your comment about a tiny fish wanting a huge meal, its sorta shitty they wouldn't be offered that choice.
These bundles are probably all in their own groups, so it'll be the wild one going live and then at another point Year of the Phoenix.
For record's sake, it does look like you can buy these packs normally. Very cool way to deal with filling in spots in wild collections if that's true - we'll need to wait and see!
I think for Elise's case, opening a pack of Golden cards still fits the flavor for a Diamond as packs can't contain Diamond cards at all, and that's her very unique perspective. It does mean that her pack itself needs to be Diamond though, so it gets to look extra flashy just like her.
Frostmourne is particularly annoying though since the only realistic thing to do there is to make it a rule that Diamond cards don't get Diamond tokens, which I'm not against. It would open up the space of potential Diamond cards even more, and I'm secretly hoping that once they play catch-up with the old cards, they'll go back for round 2 and find other ways of letting us acquire them - maybe gameplay achieves for old expansions instead of simple collection ones?
I love Diamond cards so much. I'm really hoping they roll them out quickly and they continue on this beautiful cosmetic journey Hearthstone finally started.
This is a major reason why its important we still have independent sites over nonsense social media. With a good moderation team and solid values, you can provide a fun place for folks to chat and be a part of something.
I still want to push out a tool for this to make it even easier than a thread. Hopefully the time investment makes sense at some point - we've had a ticket logged for it since before we launched.
A big "problem" you could say is logged out folk. A large chunk of our viewers have accounts compared to the old site. Those anonymous people that are netdecking or just coming by for news, they don't really have a reason to go elsewhere. You've also got the very casual people that come back to Hearthstone for a few weeks each expansion and just go to the one place they know.
Used to be youd upload a deck make a description and post a comment under it yourself to get people that dont search new decks to see your deck. I dont know why they got rid of it tbh.
You can find this on the Hearthstone Portal sidebar!
We don't show it on the homepage because then we'd run into the scenario of needing to do it for the other titles with decks as well - it could become quite the mess.

To the top with you!
I bumped our article up to the top so people can easily find the cards.
Realistically with how insane this week has been and a Hearthstone mini-set dropping tomorrow, birthday stuff will need to start next week.

Sorry the original version of this article didn't include our usual bit about the free tavern ticket. Updated now =)
I reached out to Blizzard for comment and can confirm that card reveals are done for today.
Sorry, I assumed we were going to see more than this. I would have titled this differently if I knew.
will we get cards in 1 minute?
how long can this go on?
find out next time on dragon ball z

Always love to share when people ask questions and it makes sense =D

Translations are up in the article now since apparently nothing of value has been happening over the past 2 hours. Blizzard =(
