That's my one and only criticism.

While the entire track is awesome, the intro doesn't work so well as login music. We only hear a few seconds of it before logging in. Just like now with the Wrath of the Lich King music, it takes way too long to wind up before we log in.

To compare, the original title music takes zero time to start up, as it's already there as soon as it starts, and Burning Crusade takes 3 seconds to start up. Wrath of the Lich King takes 40 seconds, and this one takes 1:45.

That's way too long to be sitting at the login screen before you get to the good stuff (don't take me the wrong way, the entire thing is good, but the intro just doesn't work as well as login music compared to 1:45.) Hell maybe loop it so the second time you get the full thing, but the first play thru won't have that beginning.

For something we are going to hear over and over again for a year or two, it really should not have to build up for so long.
