lolz well the app in teh form for the website doesn't count but what you wrote was still pretty good lolz.

fill out an actual app at your leisure. i'll post the mumble info on the forums in a bit i think because the game will be down tonight. dunno if anyone but me will be on it but.

Best Buy is giving free Steelseries MMO mice to people waiting in line to the first 15 people ... if I get there in time that would be sweet but if not I will just buy the digital copy haha.

You won't be buying much digitally :p Battle.net is completely down, and that's hours before even the EU launch.

I understand the convenience, but being one on central time, don't see the sense in not getting the box version of this.

Gonna grab some pizza, and eat out with friends while we pick up our copies of Kuh-takl-ism. Go home, chill out, install, and wait...

Vacation from Wed - Friday also. :cool:

I bought the digital copy the day it came out, I don't have extra money and for the few bucks I saved this way.. it helped.

Bought my digi copy, told my employees I was take a personal day, one of them figured it out lol, and Ill be at on 12am PST to log in!!!

Eh, I was too iffy on this part. While Blizzard says it'll be the flip of a switch, somehow I get the feeling there will be lag, issues, or whatever that will require urgent attention.

That's why I didn't take Tuesday off. :p

We'll see though!

If tomorrow is anything like when TBC went live, it won't be worth logging in. Rolling-restarts-a-plenty.

I had a bad experience on Illidan - US for Wrath, as the realm couldn't handle the load. We had a thread that went over 130 pages I think even, requesting Blizzard to just lower the cap since those that were on were lagging like crazy anyway and couldn't play. Seriously, no sense in waiting in an hour long queue just to lag...

Yeah, me too. If I took tomorrow off, chances are my realm would be down all day due to issues. But I remember Lich King's launch went off w/o any problems (at least on the realm I play on).

True that. I would rather wait a little longer in queue than deal with a laggy unplayable game.

Blizz has had two xpacs to work things out by now.

I don't have to worry about it either way as my CE is sitting at home waiting for me after finals. Though I have enjoyed the new content after the shattering. Anyone else punch Deathwing in the face?

Aaaand with everyone trying to relog in advance of the real deal, the login servers in Europe were already down before anyone logged in with Cataclysm. Still nothing. You US peeps shouldn't expect it to go all that smooth.

Blizzard: Telling your whole european World of Warcraft playerbase to login at the same time on the launch of your biggest expansion yet, was the most idiotic thing in the history of gaming.

Have to agree with this...

Absolute idiotic, Play the minute realms go live... I didnt get my digi download for no reason I got it so I could do exactly what they said, play the minute it goes live... Surely they can get done for false advertisement or something?

LOL. Read the EULA that you agreed to and see what it says about not being able to login to a game server :D. Best just to go outside and do something else until Blizzard gets their **** figured out.

I plan to buy Cataclysm at midnight tonight, but am trying very hard not to get my hopes too high for being able to play the game afterward.

I had previously assumed that the release would go poorly as they have still yet to perfect the patching process. Also on previous Expansion Sets (BC, LK) The first day or so is generally a restart fest filled with realm restarts and poor quality connections. Not to mention all of the people that have started playing the game again that Have not played in a while and the potential for queue for logging into the server.

You won't be buying much digitally :p Battle.net is completely down, and that's hours before even the EU launch.

I am not in the EU though... I was able to add the digital download to my account no problem ... but for my GF's account I will wait in line to get the free mouse lol

Im sure False advertising is different from EULA and also different from country to country.

    • Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/
    • This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store
    • Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
