Honestly after 5 fucking expansions you'd think they'd learn that having the opening zone be so fucking funneled was a terrible idea. Oh wait, they did in WotLK. But for some reason they decided that was shit and this is better.

I lolled to hard on the crapper this morning when I saw this pic. Thank you.
 
Just finished playing for the night, 6:30am UK time - I got on abut midnight, so 6 and a half hours and I'm just in to level 92...

Seems fun! Enjoying it so far, level design (at least in Frostfire Riidge) seems, different....somehow?... to what I'm used to with WOW.


Gotta grab a couple of hours sleep before work now :)
 
This is the first time I won't be playing a new expansion. For people that are continuing, and for people new to the game, I hope you have a blast. I hope this expansion is as enjoyable to you as WotLK was for me.
 
Getting my collectors edition tomorrow, won't be able to join in the madness of everyone trying to do the same quests all at once.

That actually makes me a bit sad.

My characters are ready at the dark portal though!

I only managed to get to ~3/4 through 91, but I didn't get going until nearly 1am thanks to server crashes and login problems, and my server was nigh-on unplayable until gone 4am (trying to do the plant banners in ogre corpses quest at the citadel took nearly an hour alone...)

And yeah, the questing definitely seems more... directed? than usual. Much more of a coherent narrative than they've traditionally delivered.
 
Holy shit, how many people are playing?

Frostmourne doesn't even let me queue, straight to disconnect.

Edit: @^*@! not mine but

Jesus.

Edit2: I am now in a 4k queue for Frostmourne O_O
Whelp, I guess druid won't be my main.
Shaman, hunter, priest or monk?
 
quoting myself from the wow OT since noone replied there :p

are european servers any more stable now? I have to admit, half an hour till I leave work... getting the itch, might pop that 2 month card after all >_>

Khadgar is also in Org/Stormwind. No one knows about that. They split him for the US launch (Mirror imaged him haha)

But everyone is still in Blasted Lands wanting to click his head :x
 
Had a blast during the opening and this morning! My realm held on for dear life while the sky was black with mounts and the ground grey with the corpses of invaders.

So far the new world is interesting, but I'm not out of the intro yet. Interested to see how they get passed the obvious story cockblock that appears like 10 minutes in.

God damn luckily was able to get on at 4. Horde or ally?
 
Kel'thuzad has crashed going on about 4 times in the past 10 minutes. Good to see where our money goes every single expansion launch.
 
haha after Reaper of Souls successful launch I thought we'd gotten past the classic Blizzard "shit dont work for 12 hours" launch. Apparently not. Classic.
 
Mal'ganis and a couple other servers are marked as "Locked", even though I was already on a few minutes ago. wtf

lol, been bumped to the back of a queue. Awful. 700 strong now.
 
Sargeras is straight up "locked" on the server list lol.

This is crazy. Mists' launch was nothing like this. I wonder if there really was a larger number of people coming back for WoD.

Yeah....this is a real bummer. It's been solid for many expansion launches. This is totally different from my experience, too.

"Locked" is annoying me.
 
Finished up the intro questline. And now I can't use the device (master surveyor) to build my garrison.

Yeah, gonna log off for few hours and see if it works better.

Regardless, I'm enjoying the expansion so far. ;)
