'Earthen Ring is full'

[bellinghman]

Hmm, it seems quite a few people have been logging in to WoW tonight.

Something to do with news coverage making people curious, maybe? WoW should pay the people who wrote that story a huge advertising fee.

[bellinghman.livejournal.com]

Not really - the news coverage was reflecting the interest in the new release, rather than the other way round.

It took me about an hour to get onto Silvermoon...queue of 869 :(

[bellinghman.livejournal.com]

I had a quick peek at the Silvermoon queue, because Earthen Ring had a queue in the 70s.

Silvermoon: 938

Ah, no.

[ottah.livejournal.com]

Latest guildy to log in had a queue of 1500!

I'm still installing the &^%*&% thing - having to do it over the network from the bellinghman's machine as it would appear that my dvd drive is buggered. Been going for an hour so far and am up to 77% :-(

[ottah.livejournal.com]

Oh no!

[bellinghwoman.livejournal.com]

It just got worse. I was up to 94% when my machine decided it was just about to run out of disk space (the amount WotLK said it needed was obviously not particularly accurate) so the install aborted and the disk cleanup routine kicked itself off - so I am going to wait for that and then start all over again.

Does this mean you two will be rejoining the rest of the Buccaneers? With you two we should even be able to pull together the occasional 10-man! ;)

[bellinghwoman.livejournal.com]

We will doubtless start playing more - it'll take me a little while to get back up to speed - got to remember what all the keyboard commands are :-)

(And given how long it is since I've played, I bet my pet is really pissed off!)

Whoo :) More guildies!!!

[beckyl.livejournal.com]

There's a possibility of a joint Deo/Becky Alliance account being created purely to come and join the Buccaneers. Not that I don't reckon Horde is still the best, but I know you guys, and reliable instance groups sounds like a lot of fun...

A moment ago Silvermoon was at 252.

[ottah.livejournal.com]

It's coming down, yes...just had a guildy with a queue of 250

A lich king is being released, right? Please tell he he's called Xykon...

[korenwolf.livejournal.com]

Ok

He's called "Xykon"

[bellinghman.livejournal.com]

Uh-huh

[bellinghman.livejournal.com]

Actually, my character Mardia has been chatting to him, and he's just the 'The Lich King'.

[silly-swordsman.livejournal.com]

Oh well, at least he's not called Bob. Going on a quest to fight the minions of "Bob, the lich king" doesn't sound as impressive as it should.

Queues for Earthen Ring? That takes me back.
