Cataclysm

So been a week and a lot has happened and not a lot has been written ;)

Cataclysm launch (Dec 6th)
It is the evening of the 6th of December.
Me and Estele set out to the store and drive there. It is snowing heavily and the roads are very slippery but we get there. Quite a few people about 40-50 waiting at the store. Not close to the numbers at Wrath launch. Ah well i blame digital download
At exactly 00.00 Local time the store is opened and we get our purchase and are home by 00.15.
We install the game and are done about 00.47 local.

Cool 12 minutes to Cata i think.

So time to log in - take Falc to Harrison Jones the archeology trainer and gloat a bit in guild about already having the Cata package and already having it installed.

Tick Tock.. Tick Tock..

00.01 Server time (01.01 local).. We try to log in aaaaand... "Connecting" ... "you have been disconnected from the server". Time to try again and again. Appears blizzard login servers are down. 
00.05 ST (01.05 local) : Noticed some guildies spamming the shoutbox. Aah lovely to see other people panicking about the lack of ability to log on to the game.
00.20 Time to log on vent and hear DRG and Duv go crazy about lack of logon opportunities and their not so nice advantage of obtaining a digital release.
00.45 ST (01.45 local). After spending some time on vent hearing DRG and Duv nerdrage about cata launch fail it was time for bed :)

Can't really say i didn't see this coming. But still an eventful evening and quite fun with some guildies packed in.
