Will you be in line at midnight?

I think I might do this just for the hell of it, already pre-ordered x 2. Also do you think Blizz will get the servers fixed for the release? I bet they're sweating bullets with all the downtime they have had yesterday and today so far. Anybody think the downtime was/is intentional? So are we all ready for a week or more of downtime everyday, server crashes and etc... ? I remember calling Destromath, Destro"crash" as I recall the crashes were pretty frequent for quite some time after TBC release. See what Blizz is really doing is making sure we all get caught up on our real life errands, chores and etc.. so that we can devote the next week to grinding out lvl 80.

Well I know I will be waiting in line to get my copy tonight. But I will be insie the mall at 11 as thats when they open the doors to wait inside so I don't freeze. I have 2 copies ordered as well, one limited edition and one regular. I was a little choked they had all teh servers down yesterday and so far today as well. But all in all hopefully it won't be crashing as much as it did when BC came out.

Tsuni, myself and I think some other people will be there at midnight, (pretty sure gamecrazy hosed ofie) THANK GOD this time I live in the same town I ordered my expac in so I don't have to drive 45 mins before I can play. I'm hoping w the 7-11 thing and content being unlocked server side at 9 that there weon't be so many new deathknights that I can't get quests done. I also have SERIOUS doubts about the stability of the account upgrade page.

No need. Pre-ordered CE in September. Got the mail from Amazon that it shipped today from Delaware and will be here (Pennsylvania) tomorrow. Woot.

Weaksauce.. us real men stood in line in the cold uphill both ways to get our copies at midnight. Oh well, it sounded like you had fun leveling up that leatherworking to 375 while we were running the new instances.

The upgrade page seemed very stable when I used it... as I noted to Hanh, it seems like they set up a separate server just for it, and if you look closely, I think they even knocked down the quality of the images on page a few levels, just to make it load faster.

Ya, kudos to blizz for an amazingly smooth launch. Had no hang-ups at all.

Pssh it was awesome. It was like "Your skill in leatherworking has been raised to 369" 370... 371... 372... OMG almost there.... 373, so close!, 374, come on, we can do it! 375 OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG, now I can start all over for 450!

And then afterwards I had even MORE fun by cleaning out my Beta folder and Defragmenting my hard drive! Good times, yo.
