WoW CD monitorting thread

So I've been trying to find a copy of WoW for the past week (im not lazy, i HAVE been looking). I've been told that no gamestop, eb games, best buy or COMP USA in south florida has a copy. I just recently realized the FFXI is pure aggervation and pointless waste of time, so now I have only found a few copies on Ebay for much more than fifty dollars.

Should anyone manage to find an online copy of WoW, please post here asap, thanks.

I told you my store has I think 4 left. I live an hour south of you so if I mail it it should get there next day.

Oh snap, thats actually a kickass idea, let me talk it over with my dad, is that ok?

Also is there anyway you could hold one for me? Like until, seven tonight?

Try Target, when I couldn''t find a copy at Best Buy or Gamestop or EB, I went to my local Target and they had 4 copies.

PM JMDanny as he still works at the store. I left back in august so he would be better off calling up the store and asking our boss to hold one for you. That and I left my cellphone at home today so I can''t make the call till tonight.

I cant get all the way down there, but if you could get a copy mailed to me, that would be amazing. But, I MAY find a way down there, whats the store and the address?

Actually I heard in game from my Guild (one of the guys is a CSR) that Blizzard is stopping all new customers from getting into the game (via no new accounts or no boxed software for sale) until they fix their server issues. The queue on decent play nights are up to about 800 for me now (about 1 hour 15 minutes).

Not sure if this is true, but sounds reasonable.

Makes no sense...why wouldnt Blizzard simply force the new account to a low pop server?

Its time for work, but I WILL be back online at around six est. Keep me posted Edwin, and try to hold that copy, im gonna ask my dad about it the second I get home.

Give them a buzz before you head down and tell them you''re a friend of either me or Danny. Ask for either Zoltan or Jonathon.

From what I hear there ARE no more Low pop PVP servers anymore at peak times. Especially for their server code.

Its interesting to watch the population on the servers when there is an issue. The high pop servers usually always go down at peak times. If you watch it, once they do the low pop servers fill up and no servers that are up have low pops anymore, they are all at high (PVP servers that is).

Like I said, I dont know if this is gossip, but its from a pretty reliable source that could just be BSing us

Not precisely accurate. If you can find a copy in the store, Blizzard is not stopping new customers from getting into the game (i.e. creating a new account). They are delaying re-stocks so as to keep as many people as possible from becoming new customers until Blizzard is ready for them. Hopefully this doesn''t come off as pedantic; I just wanted to make sure that no one was put off of buying a copy should they be able to find one. That being said, I don''t work for Blizzard; I don''t have a friend or guildmate who is a CSR; and Blizzard''s policy may have changed since I last read about it. As always, caveat emptor.

I had no problems creating the account and then a character on Blackhand right in the middle of Prime Time, Monday night.

Apparantly some Mad stores carry them as well. Since it is a hybrid win/mac disk, you could call them too.

Well you are just a hand with glasses. You lack a brain but can type.

It''s a trick, keeping the glasses on, when I type. And god forbid sign language comes into play.

Mac, we were talking about gaming, not word processing...

[quickly ducks out of mac radar range]

Just poking fun at your mac guys, you know I joke because I care. That and I just started a new job, where my desktop environment is Linux. I am soooo out of my league .

In case anyone''s out looking for a copy for him, I''ve got one I''m mailing to JDRobZombie early this afternoon.

Make that a Dark Elf slave, and I''m sure he will be happy.

I''m not sure I like your insinuation, karmajay.

Um..I meant because the dark elf chicks in WoW are supposed to be hot?

You know, hot dark elf chick slave?

*gets head out of gutter*

Oh. See, that''s fine. That I can get behind. Um, figuratively.

I haven''t actually played WoW yet, so I guess that explains the misfiring of my humor detector. Sorry; I''ve been meaning to get that checked out.

Hi, remember me? I was one of the guys that said there were an abundance of copies of WoW found locally. Well, those times have passed and I have a friend who wants in. He''s going through the crushing shakes of withdrawl with his 10-day pass (passed on by me, the enabler) expiring. Can anyone out there help track down a copy for a REASONABLE price (i.e. eBay gougers can go to h-e-double hockey sticks) including shipping. Bonus points if you''d be willing to email the key before shipping.

Thanks!

I noticed they''re selling it on their website, so I assumed the freeze was over. Maybe it won''t complete, but you can add it to your cart.

Would anyone be interested in buying my used copy of WoW (Horde box) + account name/password/CD key for $40 shipped? It''s proved to be waaaaaaay to much of a time drain for me, and I''d love to pass it on to another GWJ''er who''s still having problems finding it for sale.

Send me a PM if you''re interested.
