WOWie
I did it, against my better judgment I did it. I bought World of Warcraft last night and spent about 3.5 hours playing it. I probably would have skipped my workout if the installation hadn't been taking so long. Whatever hope I had of creating a social life has officially gone out the window.
I've been hearing for months how great the game is how it's the best MMORPG ever and also hearing about some of the problems that have cropped up. I had been thinking that once it went public I would run out and get it, but my budgetary fidgetiness coupled with tales of queues and server outages kept me from doing it. That is until Trinity popped up yesterday and said Adam was talking her into playing. *sigh* I knew at that point that I had the excuse I had been waiting for, so I went out and bought it.
Thus far it has totally been worth it, outside of the lengthy install everything has gone very smoothly. I had been concerned that my computer was too old, but it ran smooth as pie and I only experienced a wee bit of lag once or twice. Trinity, Adam and I all ran around killing monsters and solving quests until I reluctantly decided that I should go to bed around 1:30. I made it level 4 and I can't wait to get back home to play tonight! Better yet I can't wait for the bloody weekend where I'm not constrained by having to go to bed. With a box of depends and plenty of non-perishable food items within convenient grasp and I won't have to move for two and a half days.
Right now we're on the Proudmore server and I'm a level 4 Tauren Hunter named Barashakaw (and yes it was randomly generated, I hate coming up with names).

I guess now I am going to have to create a toon on your guys' server since Trin informed me today there is no chance of you guys coming to play on Arthas. /cry
Not sure when I'll be able to do so, as the pc I'm currently using only has a 32bit video card (EEP!) and crashes when I do anything game related. =\

Hmmm...Trin had mentioned making a new character on Arthas so she could play with you and I told her I would go along too. I don't know why it wouldn't be possible at this point, but I haven't talked to her about it.
However, it may be easier for you to catch up with us than for us to catch up to you...I dunno...it would suck to start all over...but we do need to all get together.

I created a hunter and priest on your server - Kija and Zija - both trollops. ;)
I'm not sure how hard it would be for you guys to level up to me - I certainly would have no troubles creating a new char to play with you all until you got high enough.
PvP is weird though - frustrating, but loads of fun and I cannot wait until I get high enough to ganking those Alliance tools! =D
