It's nearly time! By this time tomorrow we can all have our hands on an official copy of the Burning Crusade. And once you've got the game box in your hands, what do you plan on doing? Rushing into Outland with your favorite level 60? Rerolling a new Draenei or Blood Elf? Inquiring minds want to know!

I am having a quick look around - maybe, a few fights here and there and then am putting my beloved Druid in IF for a day or too, to gain much needed rest, and plus am expecting server overload.
However, in the meantime am rolling a Draenei priest, assuming I can log on ok.

I have to study for exams :(

I'm going to install BC on the roof of my car outside the Gamestop where I'm picking up the game and log in as fast as possible to blink through the dark portal. I'll grab whatever quests I can there and set my hearthstone to the closest Outland town. Then I'll begin my 9 hour drive to Ohio...

I'm starting a Bloodelf Rogue and grinding becuase I imagine quests will be useless :P But Ill be with a the midnight crew hopefully which will help

12 tonight i will be at EB waiting for it...by 12:15 it i will be running to see if my saved quests are worth the time i put into them!

A new friend joined another friend and I. We are in our high 40s whereas hes 18. There is no way for him to catch up in any reasonable time. So we decided to all roll hordes on a brand new server.
My main I rushed through for weeks(5). But some unlucky nights of questing and some bad breaks never let me make it to 55. Although 47 is pretty dam close :)
So ill have the expansion... but I cant do anything with it...

I'll be grouping up with guildies and hitting the 5 mans for the next year or so. :)

I'm going to start a Bloodelf Warlock and I am going to grind. I might work on a few quests with my Mage.

I installed it, update it to 2.0.5 and now need to wait on http://upgrade.wow-europe.com/expansion/ which seems to be down now.

I'm going to look through all the neat little extras with my CE as I install the game. Probably flip through the art book and watch the install bar slowly fill up.
As for first thing in game, I'm going to outland of course. Gotta see the new area for myself.
Pelle Jan 15th 2007 9:37AM
not a good idea to post that link, more server overload. People will get there when they get there..
Jennifer Jan 15th 2007 9:35AM
I'm going to roll my BE Pally with my fiance and then probably not play it for a few weeks. That or try to get to Durotar so we can actually, you know, move :P
It's really annoying that I have to work until 5pm PST, so by the time I start playing...everyone else in the world with a wow account will be too. /sigh
Maybe I'll call in sick tomorrow :D

@Seper...dude, I hate to burst your bubble, but Patch 2.0.3 raised the minimum level requirement to enter Outland to 58. Burned me too, as I was 53 and playing casually with no worries, and now I'm only 56.75 and won't be in Outland until this weekend. :( But my plan is to get the game, check out the box, manual, etc. and play this weekend. I'm not all about logging in just to read: SERVER RESTART IN 15:00 for the next three days.

I'm going to run to Target and pick up a copy when I get home (I hope they won't run out) and I might have to wait a day or two to actually Install it (Won't have access to my computer untill Wednesday). When I do I plan on making my Draenei Mage and leveling as fast as I can. Not all that exciting.
Eric Jan 15th 2007 9:48AM
My EB isn't doing a midnight opening now, so tonight I'll just be reserving two or three character names on the new EST servers.
Then I'll get as much sleep as possible, head to the mall first thing in the morning, get home and start levelling my Draenei Mage.
Or I might spend tonight levelling a different character for some cash to send to my Draenei in the morning.
I dunno. We'll see.
Jason Jan 15th 2007 9:50AM
Well, I preordered the CE a while ago, when they first started taking preorders at my local Gamestop. However, I'll probably start the install and upgrade my account tomorrow night, I won't actually be able to play for a few days at least, due to school :(
Matt Park Jan 15th 2007 9:48AM
If I get it tomorrow (doubtful) I'll probably start up a blood elf of some sort, since my girlfriend won't be home. Otherwise, I'll just look at the extras and continue questing with our level 41 characters.
juiceton Jan 15th 2007 9:54AM
Re-rolling with a BE/Paladin. I'll be one of the millions.
Cody Jan 15th 2007 10:05AM
I'm rolling a Draenei priestess at 12:21 tonight. I don't have any 60s, so it's an easy choice.
Stormo Jan 15th 2007 10:03AM
Level Jewelcrafting to 300 (assuming the guide I followed to collect stuff is correct).
