TBC Day is Upon Us

Posted by Stropp on January 16, 2007

It’s been a long wait, but finally, in a very few hours, The Burning Crusade expansion will be upon us.

My local EB Games store is among those doing a midnight opening to allow the hordes of content starved players to buy a copy of the expansion. These players will then rush home and get started through The Dark Portal. Tomorrow promises to be a day of low productivity across the nation as workers take a sickie. Those that come to work will have rings around their eyes as dark as the Dark Portal itself. I wonder if the Bureau of Statistics will have those figures at a later date.

But not I. I’ll be getting my copy tomorrow. I’ve spoken to the game store, they called me on the weekend to let me know about the midnight opening, and they have assured me that I have a copy of The Burning Crusade CE waiting for, come what may.

There’s an old adage that it’s not wise to play on patch day. I’m not intending to install the expansion until next week. I’d prefer to spend my game time playing a game, not waiting for server queues, or facing bugs. But, I expect my resolve will crumble once I have that box in my hot little hands.

At least the roads and highways will be a bit emptier tomorrow morning.
