this may seem trivial.
but my concern/query is how is HotS going to work..

will it be a seperate program to WoL, an update, a patch, a linked .exe??

will all our achievements, rewards, character tiles carry over? or will they all have to be earned again?

like I said, trivial, but I am curious.

90% sure it will be the same client, there is an option to change expansion levels in the menus, your achievements and portraits should carry over, there are all new portraits and achievements, if you've left your launcher open for any serious amount of time after the newest WoL patch you should have a good amount of what you need to start HotS on launch day it'll all just depend on you game license level.

so given i downloaded a seriously massive patch a few days ago, and then another a few days after that (the first patch changed the loading screen to Kerrigan).
is it possible we already have it?

I cant imagine Blizzard allowing millions of Downloads on opening day, as it would severley lower the DL rate, thus angering a many lot of gamers...

Actually.

Do we get it our (AEST) time on March 12, or Americas?

We do already have the HotS client, that is why it is called 2.0.5 instead of 1.x.x. So as soon as our account is activated with HotS we can swap between expansions (there's a drop down option) and boom HotS done and done.
