The expansion comes on 4 discs D:

how the crap is the expansion going to have as many CD's as the full game.

anyway, it looks like once you install, you have to re-install the 2 latest patches... bleh

It's funny - in almost all the art, the Draenai pictured is very, very clearly a paladin.

Seems like they switched that out at the last second.

I haven't followed the Burning Crusade much. They took out Draenai Paladins?

p.s. I'm leaving for walmart to buy one right now because they've got hundreds in stock and will be selling them at midnight suckers

I think so. I know Draenai get to be shamans and blood elves get to be paladins. I'm pretty sure neither can be both.

And yeah I just got mine at wal-mart, too. They had collectors editions, but I just bought the original flavor

Draenei do indeed get to be both Shamans and Paladins.

Azuremyst Isle quests are kick ass.

I was pleasantly surprised by the Call of Earth quest for shaman (it's essentially an elemental war, you go in to kill earth elementals, and are assisted by air, fire, and water elementals), and the Furbolg totem quest series.

Been playing all morning. No server lag or anything. Though I've been playing as a Blood Elf, so that might make a difference.

I will let you know as soon as I get a chance to open one of these up -- on files this morning so i have to make sure they're all taken care of before I can open and install.

Draenei shamans kinda make Horde shamans look pathetic.

Draenei have like 1/4 of Exodar devoted to shamans, with 4 shrines, each one devoted to another elemental spirit and has a trainer at it (one has a furbolg!). You can get a elemental sapta sight potion from a seer in the Crystal section of the city (Northwestern most section I think) that allows you to see decent sized groups of elementals gathered at each shrine. It's pretty awesome.

I took a trip down to the mall during my lunchtime here. 2 EB Games in the mall, and there were a total of two non-reserved copies left. I saw about 30 reserved copies at each store on the shelves and about a dozen reserved CE editions though. One of these days I may need to pre-order a game.

I'm eagerly awaiting the return of the queuedance!

Yeah, it sounds like the new races got tons of awesome quests and cities. I know that it's pretty bogus that the Draenei already outshine the Horde in that respect.

Any word on Silvermoon?

I think there was about 100 or so in line by the time they started selling them at 12:01am. The line stretched from the checkout counter back past the flat-screens, down the Computer/Xbox/PS2 aisle, and across the main aisle through the electronics section.
