“Burning Crusade� Midnight Launch! |
|
Last night hundreds of fans stood for hours in sub-freezing temperatures to be the first to buy “Burning Crusade,� the first ever expansion for “World of Warcraft.� Also braving the Arctic temperatures were iTG’s Hogan “kam-RA� Carter & Rance “djRoME� Costa, as well as your faithful correspondent, Avataritoria’s Erik “Kunochan� Even. By midnight, roughly 250 people were in line at the EB Games on Universal City’s storied Citywalk. The earliest arrivals had been waiting since 8:30am, but most arrived sometime after 5:00pm. EB employees worked the line and gave out prizes such as t-shirts and posters, while Blizzard reps set up the booth where WoW developers would sign “Burning Crusade� collector’s edition boxes. We interviewed dozens of fans, and these clips will be featured on “Epileptic Gaming� this Thursday. I did learn few important facts: 1. Some people do actually care about the plot and characters of “World of Warcraft.� And now for the pics:

I know crackheads with more of a life then the WoW crowd. At least something got them outside for a day. Even tho it was just to go get more WoW.. wait that sounds kind of funny... |

Ok I also play WoW, but it's crazy to get in line instead of waiting a few more hours and just grap it from your postbox. Whats wrong with those people its like not a console launch where it will be sold out the next day :-) |

that lvl 70 in one night is just a prime example of devotion. We could use people like that. |

some of the fans said that they could have LEvel 70 within a week... and that's the lowest figure that we got... and we talked to a bunch of people... so for #8 to say he did it in one night makes me question his boldness. |

If WoW players put in that much effort to get laid... well, they still wouldn't get laid but at least they would have tried!! |
