    I'm a nice guy. Went to the midnight launch, got my copy of the CE, and let an ex-coworker who called me and asked if they had any buy it.

    I'm tempted to just bust out the original discs and install piece by piece by piece.

    You really should pick up a trial account DVD at some point, it makes the whole process so much easier.

    You can bind this in Key Bindings in the escape menu.

    What's it under? I scoured the bindings and didn't see it.

    Nevermind! Interact with Target, found it.

    My install failed because I disconnected from the net while it was doing its thing; apparently when it hangs on files to install, it opts to download them and because it couldn't, it canceled the whole process, rather than prompt me to get the internet going. God. Damn. It.

    Does anyone know how much the Old World flying will cost?

    250

    So they changed that with release? Cause a few days back, when I looked it was 4.250 Gold ... Or did you just forget to type the 4?

    I really hope you're thinking of the 310% training level, not old world flying D:

    What is the difference? I thought they were the same?

    But now that you mention it ... I think it's possible, that I only saw the 310% and the old world flying wasn't even in the game until last night.

    The flying license wasn't even available on the trainer, until now.

    I can just imagine a large red switch.

    Before the technician uses both hands to switch it on, he says,

    "...Brace for impact."

    Son of a whore.

    I was in the queue for a half hour, tried to time it so I'd get in after they 'flicked the switch'.

    Logged in 5 minutes past, Cata wasn't up yet. Not a minute later, a system message says Cata is up, and to relog.

    Except I can't, the login server is down :(

    I pre-ordered Cataclysm, but never expected to be able to play as soon as it went live. Did anyone honestly believe that it was going to go smoothly? This is World of Warcraft. There's always a titanic fuck-up at the eleventh hour.

    Blizzard kinda fucked it up. Now they have every person in four time zones trying to log in, instead of having people in different time zones logging in at different times.

    Not so much a titanic fuck-up as a titanic amount of people all trying to do one thing at the exact same time.

    I logged out before the announcement, thinking I'd log back in before the rush. Got in but the switch wasn't flipped yet. Now the login server blew up as expected.

    It's almost as if the demand continues to grow. Stop being a [silly goose].

    Also I'm leaving my install running while I catch some sleep, and leaving the net on for it to do whatever it needs when the disc fails to read a file.

    Yea, the Azeroth Flight license wasn't on the trainers until they flipped Cata on. Artisan/Master flying are the ones that cost 5000g(minus rep discounts).

    I just imagined millions of people farting at once and it basically made the perfect analogy for how this launch is going so far.

    Not really.
