Anyone else remember the mess that was WoW for the first few weeks? And then the dreaded server queues? Yow.

I hear ya! You didn't miss much though.
What I did, release night:
- Picked up my preorder at GameStop. I was the only girl that was there (out of thirty guys), so it was much of a shock to step into the store with all eyes on you. Yikes.
- Sit, hang out and wait til 12:00PST rolls around.
- Tried logging in, server is busy.
- Continues trying for another 40 minutes. Copy password, paste password, enter.
- An hour-ish later: Blizzard shuts down their bnet website to free up some servers and officially i'm in - levelin' up my wizard.
- More leveling.
- Depletes Red Bull pack - the sunrise outside my window.
- More outages. Server restarts.
- Didn't sleep / pass out until 2:00pm in the afternoon.
I don't know what is more sad, all of this or requesting time off for this.
