Dude, you have my utmost sympathies. I hope you’re on and enjoying the uber magey awesomeness that is Cataclysm now though.

Totally forgot to buy the thing and went for the digital download on the night of. Figured it would be all locked up with the rush but I got ot the “buy” screen and It said I’d have to wait 72 hours for the payment to clear. I was crushed. But, of course, I tried to log in right away and had access within about 5 minutes…score 1 for procrastination!

Given the various hoops Australian stores have made me jump though for the previous expansions it was very easy signing up for the digital download upgrade. Having said that the first collectors editions started signing in around 5:30pm Sydney. Apparently the store date was broken.

That’s the Stormwind flightmaster area, and under the “STACKS ON” is the OldWorldFlying seller.

Personally I think it sucks you can’t buy that without Cataclysm installed… but that is a lesser complaint.

My only rush was I wanted to share my enjoyment… baah.. I’m better having a whinge

Just realised I had an email from another game shop stating they were starting sales at 9am in the morning (vs. 7pm for my shop).

Someone is lying, or cheating or something…

What are those players in the screenshot clustering around for? I’m woefully ignorant about that nook of Stormwind.

don’t fret, Gnome — i (and many people in my own guild) won’t be on until sometime tonight, almost 24 hours after release. you’re not the only one getting in later. and anyway, what’s the rush! savor it — i’m going to!

Sounds like it’s a cockup on several fronts. last couple of releases it was at midnight.. thus would have been available in stores 1st thing this morning (or obviously midnight last night if you wanted to hang about).

But apparently it was pushed back to 12am US release time, or 7pm here.

@RzBg was saying he’s got a 3 day wait because Amazon cocked up (or maybe worse.. maybe he’s right).

Ahh well, it’s one way to reduce the server crashes… don’t get the stock out for people to use.

Better yet, get people to buy direct & digital
