I think (excuse my dodgy math skills) that will mean a release time of 0500 on the 18th in the UK.

Well, if it is indeed at 6am CET, then yes, you would be correct 🙂

However, I thought I read somewhere that the launch would happen "exponentially" around the world - so people around the world will get it at different times, but at the same local time relatively speaking (ie. everyone gets it at 9pm local time on the 17th).

Well if there is an exponential launch, it would mean that everyone will be able to download the full game at 9pm local time, whever you are. The good thing about that is that it will distribute the server load more so the servers wont crash due to overloading. 

There are many benefits of such a staggered launch, and I actually hope they do it. That way they can start small and adjust as the day goes by and the server population steadily increases.

I don't think it will be a huge problem, to be honest. I'm not worried. 

Microsoft has multiple data-centers around the world - each with their own infrastructure. Considering the amount of data they usually handle on a day-to-day basis, I don't think it'll be as problematic, as it's made out to be.

🙂

I though it was supposed to be midnight CEST?
