Countdown To Wrathyness

[Kytele]

Woops, I guess no need if you live by a 7/11

Wrath shipped to stores, copies being sold early at 7-11 - WoW Insider

[aers]

Installed and waiting.

[Noobta]

Did you get yours at 7-11 too? I wonder if the one in the next town over has it.

[Kytele]

Personally I'm picking up my copy solely to get the CD key. At least that's the plan!

I downloaded the installer (a friend of mine who works at a Gamestop uploaded it for me, but there are valid torrents around) and the key is coming from elsewhere.

[Blabj]

I can't get wrath till friday most likely. I am so saaad.

It's not like I'll even be able to level over the weekend anyways, I expect a massive amount of lag in Northerend.

[Correction]

Having mine shipped to me thursday morning. Trying to actually play the game Wednesday at midnight is going to be nothing but misery anyway, and I was kind of looking forward to the 3 hundred billion 'omfg can't log in WTF BLIZZ BLUE RESPONS PLZ1!1!!' threads on the wow boards while I installed.

[Noobta]

Live servers still aren't up, I had this Tuesday and last Tuesday off too. What bad luck

[Correction]

Well conceivably the only advantage to having wrath early is to skip the install process and just log in. But that really don't be easy, if possible, the second they flip the switch on Northrend content.

I have been looking. And is there gonna be a maint or something to know when they are turning on the content like they did with FFXI?

[Noobta]

Tomorrow at midnight.

TBC was really smooth iirc, and starting at midnight gives a nice head start over the rush of people getting off school/work and starting the lv70 quests later that afternoon.

[Noobta]

Yeah I'm hoping that 7-11 has it. My week ends tomorrow and I wouldn't be able to buy it until Thursday night.

[Krandor]

Can you install it and still play the game normally until you activate it online?

[Fayttt]

I'm so confused. I didn't know 7/11 sold video games, and I have one five minutes from my house. I've heard nothing about them selling it...I guess only some do?

Edit: Y'know, maybe I should've just kept the beta installer..Anyone know if that would work?

[Foof]

Yup

They carry popular/hyped games around release sometimes, mostly xbox stuff, like Halo 3, GoW2, etc.

[Ishido]

Went to a 7-11 and they said they couldn't sell it, called some walmarts as apparently some were also selling it, but again no luck.

Would have been nice to not have to go at midnight and make up the 2 hour time difference, but oh well.

[Kurp]

Content is activated midnight server time or all at the same time?

[Correction]

Knowing Blizzard they'll open U.S. realms first (midnight pacific), European second then Oceanic last.
