Post Hard copy Cataclysm ftw Reply with quote
Just checked my order status on Gameplay.
Been worried about having the expansion ready to roll when it goes live on wednesday, wondering if the digital version would be more reliable.
Order COMPLETE as of yesterday.
They packed it up and put it in the mail last night, I'm betting it will arrive on monday.

Is the digital version ready for download yet, or will it need to be downloaded on patch day?

As I understand we all have cata patch downloaded and playing as 4.0.3. So the trick as I see is only in key.
my friend was already in new land by mistake somehow and teleported out in that moment.

I expect server restart and that will be it.

Ishmur linked a site in the thread which explains how you can pre-load the game without a key.

Both should be equivalent then. I expect by the time the next one rolls around digital will be the way to go.

Wondering if there even will be a hardcopy next time ... digital one seems like a great success.

There probably will be a hard copy, but maybe only the collectors edition.

In my case though its hard copy ftl as play.com have had mine packing for 36 hours now so unless it has shipped and they have just failed to update the status I may not even get it on Tuesday Sad

I am actualy thinking of getting the download key and the upgrading to Collectors later if possible (I have emailed Blizzard to check, still waiting on a reply). More money, but .......

That's because Play sucks ass.

Gameplay consistently get stuff to me before release.

I should have known better tbh, but it was the first place I found with the collectors edition. Its shipped now and has tracking (fortunately not Parcelforce, don't get me started about those douches) so may well have on Tuesday.

I'll see how I feel tomorrow as to whether I spend the extra or not. Maybe I should take leveling semi easy this time.

Just out of curiosity, approximately when should we have our chars raid ready?

Optimistically, I expect the first 85s next wednesday, raiding the week after.
I would say there's a good chance of a 10m raid two weeks after launch, but how far it will get is another question.

For 25m, it will likely take a few weeks longer.

The thing is that 2 weeks after release X-mas time effectively starts and I haven't yet seen us raiding between X-mas and the New year so I'm kinda expecting us to start 25s after that.

Yeah. We might get a 10m inside one of the raids before xmas, but as you say it will be close.
For 25m, some time in January is the best we can say. We'll see after new year.
