£29 from Game and it comes with the first month free.

I absolutely assure you, you'll love it ...

Or alternatively slightly less from gameplay.com if you choose 2nd class postage.

And I hope I do love it, it's due next week!

It might be a little harder to get now. there is a rumor that the big uk retailers are holding it off shelves now until the server issues are resolved (the queues for the most popular ones)

What problems? The longest I have had to wait is 5 minutes to get on a server. Big deal - I used to wait longer to get on the DVF server before I was an admin.

Heard of people waiting 120 minutes to get onto the big PVP Server (Warsong)

Wow - although even on the boards the most I have heard about it 20 minute waits.

Are you sure 120 minutes isn't anecdotal?

I have taken 120 minutes to get into Bladefist, but only on launch.

Seems to be very few low level characters though, so maybe they all left.

Don't have a wait at all now.

What, the DVF server is down? Damn, have to sink another 30 mins into World Of Warcraft, without feeling guilty

Level 35 here I come.

That will be fine, even in windowed mode.

Ended up buying it due to several of my Eq2 guildies playing/trying it.

On daggerspine PVP server

if your on the good guys team, can you communicate with people on the bad guys team?

Optimus_Prime · Post by **Optimus_Prime** » Sat Feb 26, 2005 5:56 pm

not sure, presumably you can via tells

Post by **Bob_The_Engineer** » Sat Feb 26, 2005 9:18 pm

No you can't

Not at all. Not privately or via speech.

Its built into the game specifically so you can't go all traitor on the other side.

Post by **Bob_The_Engineer** » Sun Feb 27, 2005 11:42 am

At the last count the Alliance outnumbered the Hoarde 4 to 1.

Probably why they keep raiding the Horde starting teratories then.

YAY! WoW box arrived today.

BUT! I can't create an account because I can't find my bloody authentication key anywhere on the packaging? Anyone know where I should be looking??
