When I logged in to the servers this morning, I was greeted by three very pleasant surprises! The first thing I noticed was that hardly any of my addons were broken, and I seem to have successfully anticipated those that were, avoiding the usual patch palaver of updating and deleting and fixing.

Then I realized I had mail, headed over to the mailbox, and got my second surprise. Waiting for me were my two Digital Collector's Edition rewards, my Lucky Quilen Cub pet and my Imperial Quilen mount! I also got two Collectors Edition achievements just for taking the two items out of my mailbox.

My only frustration arose when I headed to another character, received the same mail with the mount and pet, put them in my bag and received an error message telling me that they couldn't be learnt as I already know them. I hope this doesn't happen with every new character, as having to delete all the default account-wide pet mail could become a tad tiresome.

My third surprise came when I logged over to another character and realized there was a button at the bottom of my character list indicating that I could create another character. Confused, I quickly counted up the characters I already had on that server and confirmed that I did already have 10. Therefore, the 11th character slot has been added with 5.0.4!

All of these surprises have brightened up my day -- and hopefully yours, too. Have you noticed any surprises in 5.0.4?

Since people have been asking, yes, you get both the pet and the mount when you upgrade to the Digital Deluxe edition of Mists of Pandaria. Nethaera was kind enough to take to Twitter to personally clear this all up for us. Emboldened by this, I immediately went and upgraded to the Digital Deluxe edition because I've always wanted a collector's edition, but they tend to sell those in stores -- and well, those are full of people. Being the hermit of the information age that I am, I applaud the availability of a deluxe edition in this manner.

So how about you? Going to keep your midnight tradition going and visit a physical retailer to mingle with the crowd? Or or you going to sit there at 11:59 p.m. Pacific on Sept. 24 and wait insanely with me to see if you can immediately hit the shores of Pandaria running? Either way, I'll see you in Jade Forest on my new mount.
