I've never been a fan of WOW, never appealed to me. There's a story on yahoo of a gamer who cued 18hours or something to be first to ge ta copy, he collapsed when the shop opened

I checked that out in Asda today. The offer is on til Sunday apparently. No point rushing out, unless you're a gayer.

I went over to Tescos last night to get a copy (and one for my brother, and his mate....) and I was the most "normal" looking person there - the rest were long greasy haired, stereotypical goth/thrash metal/emo/student types with chunky Rock boots, knee length leather jackets, black leather studded cuffs - all that sort, and there was me in my combats, Pumas and Fenchurch jacket - I felt so embarassed to be buying the same game as these people who were also buying the entire stores supply of nachos/dips/crisps and red bull by the crate loads to have massive sessions - there was me buying my copies of the game, some new pillow cases and a new toothbrush!
Anyway, Northrend is a very gorgeous looking place and they have definetly learnt lessons from when TBC was released, much more playable, much less lag, much less fighting over the same quest mobs/items etc
The Deathknights are cool as fuck but every man and their dog is/has made one (including me!) so they are quite over populated at the mo in their start area.
I would be playing it now but I logged out to update a couple of add-ons and found myself at the wrong end of a 500+ queue to get back on my realm and as my PC is being proper gay (see upcoming thread about how my PC is gay and needs upgrading) I can't say in the queue for more than 10 mins before my PC freezes up and reboots - so I'll have to wait until less people are on tomorrow I guess.
But yeah, worth taking a look at for sure!
Just remember the golden rule - Alliance are gayers, Horde are pro!

Looks like you need to move realm 
Got it earlier, been on for a bit, figured it was time to go to bed shortly.
Still haven't quite even made it to lvl 70 yet, mind.

Ive got mine in the pos on the way.
There is a 'Hero' class called 'Dark Knight', which can only be achieved at level 55 because its a powerful class which they dont want n00bs to have.
Im almost level 55

The Deathknight won't replace any character you have - its a separate char but one you can only start if you have at least one lvl55 (or above) char on your account
They start at lvl55 and with mostly blue gear with the rest being green, by time you leave the DK start area you'll be lvl 58, all your gear will be blue and you'll have the unique DK epic mount (which looks similar to the undead warhorses), you'll also have all the Kalimdor and Eastern Kingdom flightpaths.
I'm not gonna change realm, all my (6) lvl 70's are on Dragonblight along with my guild - so to leave would be insane! It wasn't that heavily populated up until yesterday evening when they started doing rolling restarts on other realms so I imagine a lot if ppl on those realms made chars on Dragonblight to pass the time - thats what normally happens!

That's a LIE William - I get those 4 days off as part of my roster!!
oh you mean somebody else........ok, cos I'd never do something as lame as to goto Tescos in my break from work and wait for midnight just to get a copy for when I got home at 7am despite having a copy order which came through the post the next day anyway at 8am.......nope, I'd never do that........

At least epics? There not a whole lot higher than epics apart from a handful of legendarys.....but anyway
It is good stuff, trouble is that it looks so damn cool I'm reluctant to get rid of it and look like every other pally/warrior!
So I'm gonna keep my lvl58 blues I think! lol

Got my copy yesterday, only done a couple of quests in Northrend around the Warsong hold killing the spiders, freeing the peons and collecting shit etc.
Seems good so far - really didn't get much of a chance to play it though.
Made my Blood elf death knight too
