Cataclysm Is Now Live (In Europe)
"My, what big teeth you have!" "The better to pwn you with n00b, lolz!"
Ah. That sweet, sweet new expansion smell is upon us as Cataclysm has now finally launched (in Europe). After months of eager anticipation and consternation and trepidation, we (Europeans) are now finally able to play the Cataclysm expansion (in Europe). I’ve overcome my shame and will gladly admit that my fingers were quivering like a gentle first time lover as I created my Worgen Priest on my bustling (European) server, filled to the brim with other (croissant eating) players (of European habitation).
I could make the somewhat unpopular decision to gloat about the fact that it’s still December 6th (in Europe and America) and I am able to play without the unfortunate need to stand outside in a queue at a shop front in the midst of a freezing (European) winter to collect my copy. No sir, digital was the way to go tonight and I’m eternally thankful (to Sir Tim Berners-Lee, a great European who instigated birth of the Internet) for it.
Anyway, I hope everyone (who’s European) is enjoying Cataclysm right now (in Europe) as much as I am. I couldn’t imagine having to wait even another moment more to play it. Cause that would really suck.
Bonne nuit, gute nacht, buona notte and buenas noches el compadres.
-Sir Gordon of Europe

Damn you being able to play, digital download here as well, but lost track of time by killing off the last hour writing a blog post … and now login servers are not letting me on! Hope I can join the fun soon.
Hope you got on ok!
You guys deserve it after the LOTRO F2P and other assorted debacles with sub-par European publishers.
Thanks
Heh heh, rub it in a little more, why don’t you?
But no, seriously, good for you EU folks. I don’t even care but seeing the rivers of QQ tears from people complaining that Europeans get to play first makes me want to root for you guys. I’m actually reading a bunch right now, killing some time before dinner. To see how some are having complete mental meltdowns about how “now all the “World Firsts” will go to the Europeans” is amusing to say the least.
Hehe, sorry, I just couldn’t resist
Haha Gordon.
Glad you Euros are getting fair treatment on a release date for once. Hope it goes smoothly and you all are playing come this time tomorrow.
Enjoy!
Thanks, Genda
I am jealous. I wish I could be playing right now. I plan on napping until Midnight, and playing for about 3 hours before work.
How did it go? I was lucky to get about an hour in before I had to go to get. Bit of a queue with the login servers but otherwise everything went very smoothly.
I sincerely hope all you EUROPEANS–not to be confused with non-Europeans
are enjoying!
A lot of moaning & angst-ridden posts appearing in all other realms (North American and Oceanic, especially)!! ha ha
Hehe
And when the Rapture comes, you shall be first as well, godless heathens!
Pardon my French, I meant to say last.
Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web, not the Internet. Just sayin’.
Well, we Aussies don’t get it until the same time as the yanks, but at least their midnight is our leisurely 7:00pm.
And even I am thankful of the digital upgrade
Logged on crack of dawn this morning and have been running around with my Worgen Rogue called GordTheWorg…. You can thank my wife for the name
Suddenly I’m enjoying the fact that I’m working from home today, because of the snow and ice, and I can level up over lunchtime!!!
“Suddenly I’m enjoying the fact that I’m working from home today, because of the snow and ice, and I can level up over lunchtime!!!”
Are you actually allowed to do that?
I vowed never to play WOW again … damn … I freak that was a promise waiting to be broken.
What server are you on btw?
Khadgar, EU. My main is Kilgour. Look me up!
[...] are up to. (Some others seem to be down still however. But I’ll take the attitude of our European cousins and just wallow in the fact that I got mine before somebody else got [...]
Stop making me cry… but any way enjoy being not last for once.
Lol
