LoL! You can also play a Troll priest if you like that better... Getting to the undead from there really doesn't take much time. You can get there within 3 hours (2.5 for leveling, .5 for getting there). The zeppelin is free.

I watched a movie someone made, "I surrender", about a guy that loses his wife and remembers and cries about her... It was nice.

The server has been down forrrrrrrrrr maybe 2 hours now...

It makes me sad...

Everyone's going nuts at the WoW, forums, it's great... Blizzard is this company that's been known for releasing quality, very polished products that their fans eat up, then this new MMORPG (which I hear have a history of server troubles) game goes down for a couple hours and people are complaining like it's been happening for weeks on end and calling for an extra free month's play...

tsk...

*looks back at how smooth the City of Heroes launch was* ahh, that was the best launch ever for an MMORPG.

But sucks for WoW people. I don't understand how Blizzard didn't see these problems coming

Yeah it's funny, because they already had those problems in the beta. I hope they fix it soon.

It does give you some time to eat and go to the bathroom.

Edit: Apperantly the lag is because of the higher than expected amount of players that bought it first day. They've made almost twice as much servers.

So, how are the servers lately???

My brother got into the European closed beta test. The lucky bastard. But fortunately, he's letting me play on his account.

Too bad I can't meet up with you guys.

How far along are your characters????

The servers have been fine for me, although every day at 4AM EST the Central and Eastern servers go down for an hour for routine maintanance...

It wouldn't be a big deal were it not for the fact that the first day I played until 5:30, and the second until 4:30... aaaaaand pretty much everyday I don't have work I'd probably play a little past the 4AM shutoff...

A sad sad day...

One thing I find amazing are the prices people are paying for the collector's edition on ebay... specifically each item seperately..

20+ for the map? 30+ for the art book?

Wow (hm, no pun intended), better get the collectors edition and sell stuff seperately then....

So how's the game so far? How's your character?

And playing until 4 AM is just sick. You should sleep earlier so you can wake up early to play it....

Sorry, I'm a night person

I have 3 characters (on 3 different servers... But I have reasons for that)... Undead guy I havn't played (he was on a server that was down for like 3 days) since I posted those pictures...

But now I have a level... Either 19 or 20 orc warrior... And a leveeeel 17 or 18 night elf hunter...

And yeah, they only made 75,000 copies of the collectors edition (in the US at least)... Me and my friend went to best buy as soon as it opened and they hadn't even got the out of the stockroom yet... I'm pretty sure they only had one box of them, and there were only 3 - 5 in the box... And 3 of those were gone right away (me, my friend, and some other kid)... *nods*

UPDATE: I have stuck a WoW: Battle Reports thread in the Computer Forum. Please use this going forward when exchanging online tags, arranging meetings, and talking smack.

Thanks - TS

Good luck everybody. Have fun...

As soon as I've downloaded the EU beta, I can play on my bro's account. I'll try a gnome wizard.
