I just got World of Warcraft. See you all in four years!

Any of you nerds want to hang out at Proudmoor?

Not for you, sausage. It's only out for Aus/America/NZ/Korea.

You're not missing much - it won't run. Instant crash on load. And all patches have to be acquired via a bittorrent-like system, no direct downloads. I was cursing blizzard by the time I was done. (I couldn't get the patch at all, had to get it off a friend who already had it).

Amusingly enough, the crash-report tool crashes too, and their support site is often inaccessible.

To even get as far as finding out if it works you are required to give it a creditcard number. If you want to use gamecards (you can buy more time at games stores if you don't have a CC) you void your free month 'trial'.

I'm not pleased. Last-ditch effort to install it on this machine now, or I give up and take it back. Blizzard is not showing much quality.

I managed to install it on the GF's machine. Whee!

I got a bit bored of doing 'what everyone else was doing' so I decided to give up on levelling and see how far I could travel. Almost as soon as I set out someone yells "STOP!" at me and volunteers to come along as guide and protector. I think he's like 9 from the way he speaks, but he's level 26 and so takes care of all the monsters on our quest.

Anyway. at the moment thanks to all the dying I have a level 3 nightelf with no clothes, armour or weapons somewhere near Kalimdor and unable to get home. I spent a good chunk of the night perched on a hill in a forest waiting for a level 39 bear to go away.
