Available (thanks Frans) is the press release announcing the North American
retail launch of Blizzard's highly anticipated MMORPG:
Blizzard Entertainment® today announced that "World of Warcraft®," its eagerly awaited massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG), is now available in North America, Australia and New Zealand. With a monthly subscription, players can experience the epic adventure of the "Warcraft®" series in an immersive and continually evolving online environment. "World of Warcraft" is already in Open Beta in Korea and Closed Beta in Europe, and further details regarding the Final Beta Test in Europe and additional beta tests in Asia will be announced in the near future.Update: On a related note, Slashdot | Vivendi Jilts WoW CE Pre-order Customers (thanks Mike Martinez) outlines problems some customers have experienced getting their pre-orders for the Collector's Edition fulfilled.
I was on the EQ2 beta. I was on the WoW beta. I bought WoW. I will not buy EQ2.
I've said it before, I'll say it again. EQ2 looks and feels like it was made by a bunch of guys punching a time-clock. No life, no feeling, blah. I mean, really blah.
To rearrange what someone else said "WoW wins in every department. no contest". So you see, they're opinions. Cheese likes EQ2, I like WoW. How does this help anyone? Do you REALLY want to take advice on a game with a monthly fee from a couple of goofballs on a forum?
Too bad that SOE didn't have an open beta to let everyone kinda test and see if they liked the game. The only way you can do it is to actually buy the game and try it. If you don't like it, you're out $50.
