Smile World of Warcraft Tommarow

Alright, World of Warcraft comes out tommarow. Anyone else have it pre-ordered and ready to play? Lol, this game looks amazing i really hope it turns out good. Anyone else have any thoughts or opions on this game? Maybe some beta testers with strategys for those of us who werent so lucky (Does anyone know if it comes with a free month? I thought i read that somewhere)

i played the open beta and it was amazing. Excellent graphics and huge maps. The quests are fun to do and indepth too. Unfortunately i won't be getting the retail though because i'm not ready to shell out 15 bucks a month

Yeah i was in beta, had a lot of fun. Pre ordered the game, shipped yesterday and will be here tomarrow can't wait to start.

Almost positive you will not get the first month free, havne't seen anything about that, you might of got that mixed up with the free open beta, so i wouldn't count on it if i were you.

Awesome, didn't look into the one month free thing, but that sure is good news.

Yes i did order mine over the net, i ordered through Gamestop. I heard that Gamestop always does a very good job getting pre releases to you fast so i thought i would give them a shot, and getting the email saying they shipped it yesterday makes me feel pretty good.

You can just pick it up most likely tomarrow at any game selling store, they should have it in stock. I only ordered mine over the net because im gona be busy most of the day tomarrow and didn't have time to go shop, and wanted it to be ready when i get home

Good luck getting started, this game is gona be fun hehe.

I got WoW too. I was in the beta but never got to play, because of the $#@%ing downloader. I still can't play, because of the downloader, it takes two days to download a 20 megabyte patch, then freezes at 5% and shuts down my internet. I have all the drivers and none of the problems listed, if only I could use Getright. I have downloaded 1 gigbyte files on this machine with Getright too.

I've played it for about an hour so far and it's pretty freaking awesome. Real easy to learn and get started and it's really fun. At 14.99 a month, it's well worth the price.
