Hey guess what. European here and laughing out loud at your misfortune. Shame.
You know what kid we all had to do it, we all had things 'we wanted to do' at the time.
If they wanna reduce the amount of players playing at release I'm with em, do you even REMEMBER the server queues at the start of Wrath last time? I might actually have to be working very late the day of release. Does anyone pity me? I doubt it.
I will just get on with it and be stoked that I will get to play a new expansion.
