None of the shops near me are opening at midnight :( I was in game earlier and they seemed to have a lot of copies so it should be ok.

I haven't bought it yet. I'm still considering this - having a real life or playing World of Warcraft, and right now it seems to be pointing at having a real life.

wow is getting more and more boring imo, im prolly not buying until im sure the money/time is worth it. (wich theyr most likely not)

Wotlk is actually a better time to stop playing then actually starting a new wave of 2years or so.

getting my copy tonight, but only go to bed straight after for work etc in the morning. Shops here got a reserved amount of copies in stock, just enough for those who pre-ordered. Those that forgot to do so, or just thought they'd go buy it on thursday, will have to wait to get it.

At least the shop i got it from does it like this.

It's interesting how they manage the launch. I thought it would be midnight server time when everyone can get to Northred but it appears that it's your local time that matters. It's 23.56 CET and there's already a bunch of DK's and ppl in Northrend on my server.

I wonder if you'd get a copy and change your PC time settings to an 'earlier' timezone, would it work :D

That's great! This means that the servers wont be flooded by people like the TBC release.

amazing how so many ppl wait so long in line to buy the game. Especially considering it's quite cold at midnight -.-
Like it matters at all if you buy it at 12h, 3, or the next day. It matters to those who dont go to school, dont have a job, and generally, don't think about the future further than lets say 2 weeks.

In my personal opinion, Deathknights look like a good addition to the game, but we'll see an explosion of deathknights anyway. Who doesnt want to lvl one, even if they alrdy planned on lvling another one to 80 first.
