You used to be able to see the actual time your account was created but since the move to battle.net I can only view my subscription history. 11/22/04 - I bought the game 3 days early at a Walmart. When it arrived they had 4 copies and a clerk put them out by mistake. Myself and another guy watched him unpack them. We looked at each other - each grabbed two and we literally ran to the checkout counter to pay before they realized what they had done.

When my wife and I signed in on launch night we were waiting and saw Blackhand come online. We logged in and she created her Tauren Druid and I created my Tauren Shaman. There were about 4 other Tauren around us for a few minutes and then over the course of the next few hours the floodgates opened.

We have explored other games during the last 5 years but never really left WoW.
