Anyone else still playing WoW? The latest expansion goes live at Midnight tonight, and I plan on picking up a copy at lunch tomorrow.

Who else is helping to fund our blizzard polycounter's Christmas bonus.

Cojax · Nov 2008

Yup I'll be picking up my copy tonight at best buy, despite the fact I get it at the company store for 5 bucks. Ya I'm nuts.

System · Nov 2008

I stopped playing WoW a while back mid Season4 and tried my hand at WAR... I just can't seem to stoke my interest anymore. WAR aside Wotlk strikes me as more of the same and i know i'd get bored of it in 3 weeks. Not to say it wouldnt be a shit load of fun as TBC was when that came out. I just cant see it as something id want to invest a decent amount of time in anymore, i have a good idea of what crack theyd drip feed and its because I know how itll pan out i know ill get bored.

Its a shame in a way, it almost marks the end of an era of 3 years of gaming for me (on and off).

I feel the exact same way. It ends up being fun for a few weeks but then ends up feeling like a job or chore to log in just to level and then thinking about all the time you wasted and could have been doing something productive for my art or portfolio just kills me. If I could find an MMO I could log in a couple hours a week and not feel like I have to log in for hours at a time and still be able to play with friends I might get back into an MMO but they are just time sinks.

AnimeAngel · Nov 2008

I wasn't going to buy it, but my wife has other plans and is anxiously awaiting her copy. So I guess that means I will have to pick up a copy eventually too, but I must finish my freelance stuff first.

Mark Dygert · Nov 2008

The wife and I turned in our 60day gift cards and ended up playing about 4hrs in that time. Just not as interesting as it once was... I thought it was a great game and I don't regret playing it at all but I don't think I can get back into it.

The cool thing is they never delete your characters.

EbolaV · Nov 2008

oh yes me and my brother will buy it in some hours ^^ the last 1-2 month i dont realy play wow. loses its fun. i will see if its get more interesting. i hope i dont spent not to much time in that game again hehe

Geezus · Nov 2008

Got my CE coming in tomorrow morning. Pretty stoked

Although, my server is a day 1 server...so it will most likely be lagged to all hell/crashing nonstop for about a week before it's playable. I'm glad they've said that T6 will take you to about lvl 75. I wasn't looking forward to replacing my hard earned epics with crappy looking quest rewards. Anyone else on Sargeras, alliance side?

EDIT:

You could just go pickup a copy of WoTLK from 7/11 right now: http://kotaku.com/5084247/7+eleven-doesnt-get-street-dates-+-lich-king-version

haha When i very first played the game, i lvled up a 60 warrior on that server. Then i transfered him off and have since stoped playing him. I roll shm and rogue now =P Which btw is going to be a pain in the ass to lvl 2 toons up 10 more lvls each =(

Im over on bladefist these days. If anyone else plays there, let me kno! I could always use another arena partner.

Cojax! dont tell me u still got that same warrior? roll a gnome and join my serv =P

Hehe.. Reading that actually made me laugh out semi-loud

sonic · Nov 2008

My girlfriend is doing a modeling promotion for WOTLK tonight. It is in Austin at the Gamestop on Research Blvd. They are going to have people dressed up in WoW costumes and shit giving stuff out. If you live in Austin you should head over there

Go early though or bring a friend. They said they are expecting around 1300 people.

Rob Galanakis · Nov 2008

Any other Austin PCers heading over there? If so I might head over to meet ya'll, even though I don't play WoW.

EbolaV · Nov 2008

man that installs looong

Asherr · Nov 2008

will be playing it as soon as my Collector's Edition arrives from Amazon.

Lee3dee · Nov 2008

i'll be lining up at 11:50pm CST for my copy in Plano, hope I don't run into any men dressed as female Night Elve Priests. Like I did when I picked up Burning Crusade in NJ.

Rwolf · Nov 2008

sigh, going to wait in line to get my CE just for the art book. Bonus if they have any "!" caps left. Nice contest tho, every future shop is giving out $100 giftcards to the best costume, and Select best buy's in Canada are giving out a Free gaming computer.

rawkstar · Nov 2008

haha i picked up my copy of Burning Crusade from a gamestop at plano... preordered like 2 hours before release, then waited in line for awhile in the freezing texas cold (probably just below 60) and had this annoying chick behind me talking about how the z-board is like the coolest thing, she obviously has never owned one of those overpriced things... anyways ... this year... ordered from amazon, release day delivery for 5 bux... = w1n.

Lee3dee · Nov 2008

the Lich King art book is really sweet! Shame about the game manual being in black and white

Rwolf · Nov 2008

lol a guy won the the costume contest with a printout of a horde face and a blow up sword. I think all the serious RP'rs went to best buy to try and win that gaming rig.

sonic · Nov 2008

The promotion my GF was working at in Austin ended up being one of three big ones across the country. They had several Blizzard devs and apparently some Activision management there to sign WOTLK copies. I got her to grab me a few signed posters and a bunch of gear. I got WoW keychains, goblets, koozies, etc. I also got a few hundred posters. If anyone wants one, let me know.

moose · Nov 2008

picked up my copy today, couldnt be assed to go out last night and pick it up... was exhausted from flying all day

CE is coming today too, so i can get my two accounts up and running (dualbox a mage & balance druid for pvp and fun).

My guild beat the game, and a lot of them are pushing for high-ranked pve content this time-round, we ended up in the 170th in the US and top 500 in the world

is mah shamizzle

[MILES] · Nov 2008

I'm Miles...and I've been WOW free for 2 years and 4 months.

snemmy · Nov 2008

Yay, more endgame content I'll never get to.

Woo! One new class in 5 years of release!

rawkstar · Nov 2008

i'm coming for you lichking!

Asherr · Nov 2008

still waiting on amazon.com to deliver my copy.........

Renaud Galand · Nov 2008

rawkstar : HOT !

Ahhaha. Thats the same getup from the guy who won the costume contest.

Martin Henriksson · Nov 2008

lulz at people already having cleared all of the endgame content ;D

Asherr · Nov 2008

My copy finally arrived yesterday about 10-15 minutes after i went to bed. ¬_¬

Played through the Death Knight starting area twice (one Blood and one Unholy spec) since it's maintenance day and i would have much time for a lot of questing in Northrend. I kind of wish all the classes had their own starting area like that.

rawkstar · Nov 2008

yeah it was pretty funny how all of the endgame is already cleared, seems like they made things way too easy, i had crap gear on my warrior yet i was easily soloing group quest elites... hmmm

Cool maybe i'll actually be interested in playing it then. I got so sick of having to have 30 ppl with me to do anything.

Wells · Nov 2008

Last I heard he got reset to 70 by a GM some way thru 79.

Asherr · Nov 2008

Anthene had a group with 4 other people. they would enter an instance, Anthene would ungroup, tag all the mobs and let the other people kill them before being reinvited before he was autohearthed out of the instance.

Wahlgren · Nov 2008

That and he is probably the biggest attention whore in the known world. That´s why he cries so much about it.
