WotG Shipping Date Delayed till 11-21

[RantCasey]

To all the EU players: it's a 2 day postponement for the NA PCers really the 22nd is national holiday here .. and then to top it off the day after is the biggest shopping day of the year.. it's not the end of the world.. but with how SE is doing lately via the patch and what not... it just adds to the BLAH feeling

btw UK citizen myself.. slumming in the states!

p.s. can't wait to see the xp possibilities with Goblin's Ladybug.. yay more pet xp spots

One girl in my LS picked it up yesterday from EB. She didn't even know there was any kind of delay. She already has it installed.

I've probably gotta wait until next monday for my copy, Play Asia haven't dispatched it yet (I paid extra for FedEx, but even if it's dispatched tomorrow, doubt it's gonna get from Hong Kong to the UK in 2 days).

Hope my mission static waits for me Q_Q

it really dissapoints me how retarded people can get a job in these places.

Have you ever seen the people that work at these places before? o.o;

I emailed play-asia and they said it would be dispatched on the 22nd (in Hong Kong which is tomorrow) though knew nothing of any delays. I also paid for express FedEx (1-4 day delivery) but they have yet to charge my CC.

Tried to buy it tonight at the local Yodobashi, tried to play the stupid Gaijin routine, sales guy knew me since I shop there a lot. So it didnt workout, said try again tomorrow with a smirk. >.>

i'm going to guess even those that get a copy arnt going to really play much till the 22nd GMT cause i can see the update going on and on. And the game is going to no doubt need serveral emergancy patched over the next 2-3 weeks, but its all fun.

[Zigma]

I need to check today for the copies i ordered.

yeah, they generally have that "lights are on but no ones home" look in their eyes. i'm all for people with special needs getting jobs, but these people though they look normal, have sub par intelligence.

if i have to go to the local shopping centres/call some places to find WoTG for release, damn right ill be doing it.

*froths at mouth*

and does she know how to extract the iso and create a torrent?

[bombard]

I got my copy of CoP ontime when I was stationed in Korea, got my copy of ToUA ontime in the states, and now WoTG is delayed because of a Vista sticker? lmao ... I've never used a PC much until I bought this one for gaming reasons (long time mac user, due to Mac's being big in graphic design and such). I'm still trying to comprehend how we're being delayed because of a sticker. Oh well, means less rush travelling tomorrow for Turkey day and I don't have to hurry to come home to pay inflated prices :D


seriously tho, would they release an expansion during a Japanese holiday such as our thanksgiving? For some reason this seems to be a marketing strategy with American stores to make more ppl go out on black friday ... no wait SE isn't that bright.

Good luck to you Xbox/ps2 and japanese players on getting the monopolies on the stuffs we all need for gobbie bags :D

[Kirst]

Silly Americans using boxes, whereas EU only use jewel cases as a rule

On a bum note, Amazon only posted mine today - WHY? The rest of my ls got theirs posted yesterday. Bastards. Hate my ls for it. Need a rdm?

Oh and for EUers
