    You say that like anyone actively playing WoW isn't buying the expansion at launch, anyway. So what's it matter? If you prepurchase you can get early access to features, so... great?

    And pre-purchasing isn't the same as pre-ordering, just FYI. Pre-purchasing is paying upfront to own it before it's actually available, pre-ordering is just setting up an automatic purchase for when it goes on sale.

    I'm just annoyed that they seemingly still don't have a reasonable method for people who want to purchase the CE to get access to the digital exclusive rewards before it goes on sale. I'd love to spend the next few months leveling my new allied race characters, since there's not much else left for me to do with Legion.

    I'm queuing to pay to play a new race which I really want to?

    There is a "wait line" to purchase a game that is not gonna get released for another 8-9 months?

    Holy shit, and I thought only Apple had the monopoly on sheep.

    Blizzard is smart. It's not like they couldn't put the 'new race quests' in the expansion prepatch. They just use it as bait for the pre-purchase
    In before "but it's BFA content, you shouldn't get that for free!"

    I was stuck at 4k+ and 3 days remaining for like 15 minutes, then it jumped to 2k+ and 4 mins remaining for like 15 more minutes now. This thing has no idea what it's doing but maybe it will magically work.

    Sooooo.... are the Allied Races available like, right now, as in today? Can someone clarify?!

    Feeling fine, thanks for asking. Tbh it's a mistake.

    With all the system changes and the swing in direction class-wise you'd figure they'd want to give more time to work out the kinks. Just wouldn't be surprised with another buggy release, but if I'm wrong then I'm wrong. /shrug

    MMOs have issues on release. Just the way it is.

    Wildstar had a ton.

    FF14 Stormblood literally had an instance issue in which you couldn't progress through the main story due to congestion.

    GW2 had bad connection issues on launch.

    Rift's recent expansion had to disable half of it's expansion content to even work for a few days.

    I could name loads more.

    feeling very good - this just means BfA will be another 2 tier nothing to do expansion like WoD was nothing more nothing less.

    still gonna buy it

    So?

    I know for sure I will be playing it unless an unforeseen issue arises.

    Plus I want to level my Allied Races for the armor and the boost now.

    Could be worse, since begin in queue, was at 66th and accidently closed the browser. Back at 16.799 again. I wish I could do a mass-shooting right now.

    I didn't say others didn't have issues, I'm just expecting a more buggy release this go since they are doing far more than just adding sharding. No need to hop on the defense train. :P

    Where am I defending them?

    I'm just stating it's common for big launches to be buggy. Hence why I pulled up other games as a comparison.

    I bloody hated the WoD launch. Trying to get the Nagrand Scenario with Garrosh done was an absolute Nightmare. Spires was lag central for me as well. Half the time I ended up dying because it was that bad.

    Legion was actually pretty decent because of the sharding. Although I remember some issues cropping up a week or two in.

    Do we KNOW this? Or is that an assumption? Because the quote I pasted doesn't actually say that.

    I usually spend a lot more for a lot less, so this is an improvement.
