Why preorder when the shelves are going to be full of cataclysm boxes regardless?
Or, you can pre-order now, download the files now, and start playing at midnight (or in the case of us East Coasters, 3am).
Are all you guys updating all accounts? Or just 1 or 2? I am totally on the fence, I updated one and now thinking of doing at least one more, BUT 5 accounts to upgrade all at once would seem like a lot of money lol.
My crystal ball is showing....ah yes, I see.....very many.......server crashes in the near future.
Seriously though, hoping for a smoother launch than previous expansions.
I've updated all of the accounts (five).
There's no line up, in the cold outside the store at midnight.
Instead, actually play at midnight, assuming the servers are stable (unlikely).
Also no install process, that will all be done via patching.
Upgraded 3 of my 5 accounts the other day, I was just going to wait it out for a week before doing the other two since the likely hood of my server working correctly is slim. After the last patch 4.03 it took Blizz 3 weeks to get us stable. Aggramar is over populated but I'm hoping with that last patch they finally fixed the big issues that is why I stuck with just 3 accounts upgraded.
preorders are $20 cheaper for me (40 instead of 60). On a total of 6 toons (my wife + 5mine) that's 2 free upgrades.Quote:

See I dont understand you people that only do half your accounts. Why would you not do them all? Why do things half-assed?
You do realize that the billing servers are going to be SMASHED by people trying to become worgen or goblins and you might struggle to upgrade your other 2 or 3 if you decide you want to.
And isn't the point of boxing to level them all together at the same time so that your not screwed over by phasing and being on different quest chains etc.
I dont ever want a repeat of that. I've upgraded all of mine as soon as the digital upgrade came out.
I've also bought 4 races changes for my Shamans this morning so that tommorow I can make them Goblins if I want too or another race as I'm bored of Orc Female. :D
money is easier for some.Quote:
