Hello,
I couldn't find this anywhere else on this website nor on the internet so I'll start this new topic about it.
I'd like to pre-order Cataclysm somewhere in the Netherlands so that I can play Cata the moment it goes online (like 00:01). I pre-orderd Wotlk @ gameshop but it came the next day around 16:00 while my mates got it around 14:00. It was a pain to see them install while I was running to the mailbox every 20 minutes . But the real deal was that we wanted to play the moment wotlk went live, and not waiting for some packet to arrive.
I've always heard people going online @ 00:01 and I wonder how it's possible. The game goes live @ 00:01, but retail only starts @ that time right? So how can you buy, install the game and go online within one minute :/? So logic tells me those people get the game before the official release and just have to activate the game @ 00:01. Can someone explain this to me? How is it possible to be able to play Cataclysm, assuming it will go the same way as the release of Wotlk, the moment it goes live! (In the netherlands, don't want to order abroad)
I really hope someone has an answer for me and the rest of the dutch community !
edit: How can I play @ 00:01 LEGAL. I know it's possible to go to midnight sales or get it deliverd the next day, but that IS NOT my question.
