You know what’s better than queueing for tens of hours until 00.01 this morning?

Pre-ordering and getting it through the door yesterday morning.

Scott Hamshere, from Bromley, should have been the first person in the UK with a copy of the game. He had started queuing at 6am and was the first in line. However, as the barriers were lifted, it was all too much, and he collapsed from exhaustion.”

Blimmin’ heck – it’s hardly hard work is it, queuing? Young people today, I ask yer…

@ Aimless: Oh god, you haven’t sent them a DRM-related pickup line have you?

To be honest, my entry has made all others irrelevant. Primarily because it will have instilled such hatred of the written word in the RPS team that they will never read nor write again.

The pen is more corrupting than the Rune Blade, as the saying would most likely go.

Well, if I take say, Deus Ex (sorry, I have to use it), Quake 1, Close Combat, etc, I spent far more time there.

Also, not to mention that I’m paying 46 dollars for NEW content, not the old stuff, PLUS the monthly fee.

So really, it feels like a gyp. In fact, aren’t those 15 dollars supposed to go to adding new content?

@Erlam:
Price seems ok, 25 euros where Left 4 dead cost me 32.50 euros & fallout 3 35 euros. Although if I add 15 euros to play a month, mmm…

But I’ve got a feeling that I’m gonna spend more time with the expansion then all other games I’ve played so far this year combined so it’s worth the cost to me.

For some reason WoW is not for me. I really tried to like it, but his feel was like a empty or uncomplete game. I have no sympaty for Blizzard, almost all of his games (But Diablo2) feel like too simple and naked to me :-(

Holy crap, has anyone here checked the price of the expansion? Well obviously some of you have, you pre-ordered them, but 45.99 Canadian? Jesus Christ, a new game costs me 50!

Can the “UK only” tag be the first thing we see, preferably in huge pink letters? I hate getting excited just to see I can’t participate. Was already thinking of sentences, meh.

And time to play a few months of Warcraft again. Shoo other games, no more time for you.

The copy of WotLK I preordered from Play is having a Royal Mail race with the review copy that’s (allegedly) due to come special delivery tomorrow. Whichever one arrives first gets installed, the other one goes to my buddy Chris. Suffice to say I’ve been looking forward to this for a long time. Doubly so now that I have two level 70s to take to Northrend. And no doubt I will get stuck in with a Death Knight as well. LIKE I NEED ANOTHER ALT…

One thing that rather annoys me after playing Warhammer, was the realisation that playing WoW actually NEEDS thottbot. I got to like level 30 in Warhammer before I needed help with a quest.

But yeah, I’ll probably do the usual with WoW – play the expansion for a few months, quit, come back for the next one.

In my opinion, paying 15 bucks a month should mean actual new content, not a new 25 man raid I’ll never see. Thus, I only play when there is new content.
