The game goes live at midnight, Central European Time...fortunately, the UK
is one hour ahead of CET, so the game will go live at 11pm tonight (if you
are in the UK)

4 hours to go, there's 1300+ in the login queue, and my bf just passed
through Blasted Lands and noticed an enormous crowd around the Dark
Portal - goodness only know what they're doing there this early, it's
a bit pointless! I'm all the more sure we'll see that world server
crash multiple times before it actually goes live if they're starting
to crowd this early lol.

Queue now 3k+, anyone who isn't already in it is missing the launch
lol. Think this is the worst it's ever been, surprised me given I
thought people had lost interest over the last year or so. Wtb a cap
on incoming transfers, no idea why Blizz won't do that, it's way too
populated already but more can still come in...

What launch? Nothing happened, BL suddenly became pretty empty and
loads of us were kicked back out in the char selection menu. Relogging
brought me back to a small inn in Northrend were my HS is set. :D
I was in a group, but I couldnt see the others after I relogged. 2 of
the guildies said I was offline while the 2 others could see me online.
A quick teleport from Sholazar Basin to BL via SW showed me something
very odd!
Pretend youre looking straight at the portal. you could see loads of
players on your LEFT side while the RIGHT side was completely empty.

Anyway! We queued for a dungeon right away, but couldnt join
immediately despite we were 5 man. After a DC I came back and tried to
teleport to the dungeon. A nice load on the servers delayed my teleport
for 1-2 mins.
3 very quick dungeons later where the tank pulled *everything* at a very
fast pace we realized this wasnt the way to level up as some of our
guildies had a faster progress than we had. Then we started questing. :)

That's a thing that happens a lot when there's tons of players in one
place, I guess it's meant to reduce lag etc. It absolutely sucks when
you're questing and can't see anything that's more than 10 yards away
though, argh! combined with a quest for mobs with a crap spawnrate
anyway and an unusual level of cooperation has suddenly developed,
people actually quickly forming 5-man groups for that particular quest
;-)

The difference between servers, on mine, questing is very much the
slow way to lvl, I think, my progress is virtually nonexistant, takes
10-15 mins per *quest*. Once I finish the chain I'm on and unlock the
flightpath, I'm going to try a dungeon I guess...

Lol, everyone says the dungeons are easy so I actually queued for
one... well. About two pulls in, tank pulled a group of ogres, all the
dps ignored this and ran off in the other direction. I stayed with the
tank to heal him, because hey, that's what you're supposed to do, but
it seems the ogres must've done stacking increasing dps of some kind,
eventually tank died, I died and frankly, if that's how the group's
going to go, I didn't fancy any more. Dropped group instantly.

Perhaps I should've been more patient but it didn't really seem the
right type of group... we'll see if I'm brave enough to try again
after my deserter wears off, given I get that experience for my first
attempt at a dungeon in over 2 years, it's a little offputting!
