WoW CE sold out?
Monday, November 15th, 2004 - 11:51am
Since I have no local major game retailer, I waited until yesterday to make the trip to the big city to pre-order WoW. Bad idea apparently since they were sold-out of CEs. They said Blizz is totally sold out, but they have been wrong before...
So I checked a few places online and they show sold-out as well. Anyone know where I can still get a CE or am I SOL?
Glad my pre-order is in! Amazon seems to still have it if you want to be sure you''ll get it. CE''s aren''t something a lot of stores will get extra of so you''ll want to lock it down one way or another.

Well, heck- with customer reviews such as this (EBGAMES.COM, where they still have it), how can a guy go wrong?

Ask Zedian about my way of dealing with idiot newbies. I guess I made one cry.

Well, I was really tired when I wrote it, so excuse the typos...
no particular interest, no particular talent
I decided to downgrade from the CE to regular. Why? I forgot Pirates is about to be released so I want that extra money going towards it!

If we were on the same server my mini Diablo would taunt you!

Yes, taunt my weakness!

Once again it will come down to the issue of time to play more than games. I''m interested in Pirates, but I wonder when I will have the time to play it.

Snort - for $30 extra, they can keep their $#&*$# special pet.
Everything can be debated, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's debatable.

What''s so special about the CE version?

Ohhh pleaaase, Uncle Reaper, tell us the story. You do tell such good stories, after all.

You get a non-combat ""special"" pet, a big Art of World of Warcraft book, a 10-day ""Invite-a-friend"" invite, probably a cloth map, and I''m sure I''ve missed something.
On the pet, they are the same as the non-combat pets everyone else can buy, except only the CE purchasers will be able to have the diablo, the panda, and whatever the other one was. But functionality wise, everyone can get non-combat pets.
So I think the biggest thing would be the coffee table book.

Etc... I really guess you had to be there. Zedian said one of the people that I announced I was using /ignore on did the whole :*-( after I said that. Bwahahaha.
Oh. I pre-ordered the CE from Amazon because I must have my cute little panda!

Here''s a listing of everything in the Collector''s Edition...
I''m buying the CE for the soundtrack and art book. The music in WoW is fantastic and I think it''ll be nice to have in the car when I''m driving home from work. The DVD will be a nice diversion to watch when the servers are patching but I could care less about the pet.

I really only wanted the CE pet. I wonder if I can buy your in-game pet voucher Lock? I know pets are souldbound but maybe the voucher isn''t. That would be sweet!

I don''t think the voucher is, you just put in a key into the account creation section from what I understand.
Do you ever walk alone like a drifter in the dark?
From the WoW site I was reading yesterday, BOTH the pet AND the ""coupon"" to get the pet are Soul-bound to your character.
No selling, no trading.

My mistake, I meant the in-game ""voucher"" or little piece of paper in your inventory that you take to the CE pet vendors. I didn''t mean physical paper.
Ah, ok. Looks like I will be sans mini-diablo.

I can see maybe the soundtrack, but I''m sure that will be available anyway...
None of the rest of those bonus features sound enticing, to me anyway.

Ah. I misunderstood then. I thought the CE came with a key for the pet that you put on in your Account setup I didn''t get that you''d get a coupon in game to take to the vendor to decide your pet. But I guess if they''re letting every char on a CE account get the pet that makes sense.

My mini Diablo will taunt you additionally...

I seemed to have missed the whole WOW boat and I don''t understand why or how. It''s a mmorpg, right? That''s it. Oh, and it is made by Blizzard. So, if I don''t have the time for a mmorpg, then I probably shouldmn''t buy it, right? Ok.
Money saved for Pirates!
Nevermind.

The whole ""special pet"" thing was supposed to be a big deal in Horizons too, but 2 weeks after release I didn''t see anybody using theirs. It will probably pass quickly in WoW, as well, even if it does cure cancer.

So, to sum up: You get the CE, every character you create with it gets a pet thingie? Or just the first guy?
Patience, I am new to the WoW thing.

Not sure how its a big deal right now...its merely a cosmetic thing..
The Pet does nothing but follow you around..it confers no stat or any sort of bonus
It doesnt fight or taunt or anything..
I hope it has some cool animations though...such as dancing when your toon dances..
