Put the disc in and begin the install process. It'll send you to the correct place.

battle.net

it wasn't on there, and it wasn't on the installer either. I found a person with the same problem on the forums, blue gave the link.

it is.

1. battle.net>Account>games&Codes>Add or Upgrade an Account>Enter Game Key
2. battle.net>Account>World of Warcraft: Wotlk>Upgrade Available>Enter Cd Key

but that link is the best/easiest

 

[Ridli]

The local brick and mortars were decidedly unhelpful, so I'm saying screw you CE. Maybe I'll walk in later this week and find stacks of them, but I'm quite through with midnight releases. Digital upgrade complete and downloaded.

Time to do one last check of my UI/Bags and whatnot, and bring the snacks into convenient distances. Let's get this party started.

85 haha

Worgens are awesome. How I wish my paladin could be Worgen =(

 

[MattPeters]

Wasnt that tagging method how some french guy got banned when he hit world first 70?

I'm pretty sure it's Athene for both.

 

[itxaka]

wow so around 7 hours in. I'm just 81 and almost half. Great questing, flows really well. Still it feels like you are getting carried, like you have no choice on what to do as there is just a few missions and normally you can finish them all as they are all in the same small zone so you just do.

Underwater suck thougth. It's cool for a bit but this is too much IMO.

 

[zlatko]

:/ Still can't make a Worgren and it's 12:27AM here. What gives ?

Edit: Buddy just told me it's 2AM my time....fuuuuck.

Ya, just read that. Same guy.


There is also another guy very close to 85 named Smasher. He might already be 85 as I post this

EDIT: http://www.livestream.com/xfire_smasherfth Live Stream of Smasher.

Wanted to watch. Had to mute it. Terrible music.

 

[Door2Dawn]

ugh, screw this I'm going to bed..

 

[Angry Grimace]

Oh is that what they did then? Well screw them, hacks. This is why "Realm/Server/World Firsts" are jokes. I hope Blizzard says "LOLToS, even though you didn't really cheat, you're still a hack, no title for you".

What is the "average time" for normal people doing a normal routine to hit cap this xpac? Anyone have any idea?

Oh well, installed, updated, ready to go. G'nite for a couple hours lol.

It's supposed to be the same as Wrath's curve. I think the ultimate idea is that they don't want to go over 100 levels ever. I haven't heard anyone claim it's super short, at least.

 

[Manus]

Can't get this till tomorrow morning! Ugh!

 

[Weenerz]

The timer on MMO Champion makes it feel like its New Years Eve. 45 minutes and I'll shout happy new year and wake up my neighbors.

 

[Rokam]

Oh how I wish I could make all the people spamming spells and different shit on the trainer just disappear. 8 FPS ftw.

 

[TriniTrin]

YESSSS got the Collectors edition!

Gamestop was packed but the best buy in the same shopping center had 4 people in it!

GOBLINS HOOOOOOOOOOO

Edit* The Artbook is so beautiful, actually the whole packaging is much better than the Starcraft 2 collectors edition for sure!

 

[Mr Nash]

Do we need to log out and in at midnight to get the new content, or is everything just going to unlock automatically? I'm surprised there isn't any message saying what to expect in that regard.

 

[Yoshichan]

Yeah it's weird Blizzard haven't said anything about it. We want to know what to do at midnight.

 

[Haly]

There is going to be one, and yes you have to log out: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/1251976654

Quick question: How many of you are on Area 52?

 

[sykoex]

Q. If I've already installed World of Warcraft: Cataclysm and upgraded my account, will I need to do anything special at midnight in order to access the new expansion content
A. Once Cataclysm is marked live on all realms, simply exit out to the login screen (the one featuring Deathwing's toothy grin) and log back in. This will provide you full access to the new content -- including the goblin and worgen races and level 80-85 zones.

If you're concerned that you won't know when to re-log, we've got you covered. After Cataclysm is marked live, if you're still logged in and are playing from an upgraded client, you'll be prompted with official in-game messaging that will instruct you to log out and then log back in.

[Deadly Cyclone]

Is Area 52 a realm I can just join? I am going to start a goblin on there I think.

 

[cdyhybrid]

Twenty minutes until Goblinmania. I can't wait

 

[iammeiam]

Given the mass goblin rush, I'm assuming it's going to take FOREVER to get out of the starting area as everyone kills everything at once.

Going to be AWESOME.

(Also awesome: after two hours and them taking the stove apart, my apartment management has resolved whatever was setting off a smoke alarm in a vacant apartment in my building, so my apartment will not likely burn down when the update goes live. Woooo.)

 

[Tamanon]

13 minutes! On my way to the Archaeology trainer!

You can join any realm!

No you cannot, 80 only.

 

[Brazil]

[HolyCheck]

[Haly]

[Haly]

Do you hear that.

It's the sound of a million players furiously relogging and hammering the WoW hamsters into mincemeat.

 

[Ramirez]

Can't log in now, sadface.

 

[Freyjadour]

And login servers are dead!

 

[Magnus]

This is predictably hilarious :lol

 

[notworksafe]

Yep! Just make a character and give me a /w on Aurayouready if you want to join up with GAF.

[Weenerz]

[Tamanon]

I am shocked at this development!

 

[scoobs]

LOL who honestly didn't see this coming?

 

[theinfinityissue]

Swear to god I heard a crack like bones breaking when I tried to log in. I winced.
