This will come as no surprise to any World of Warcraft player, but the expansion is now out and available in stores Australia-wide. A midnight launch heralded what Vivendi are calling the biggest PC game release in Australian history. For those who came in late:

World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade adds a tremendous amount of new features and content to World of Warcraft, including Outland, a massive new continent for players to explore, as well as flying mounts, which will allow players to reach locations in Outland that would be otherwise inaccessible. Over the course of their new adventures, players will be able to take their characters up to level 70, gaining powerful new abilities along the way. Hundreds of new quests and monsters and several unexplored dungeons will offer exciting new challenges, while the new Blood Elf and Draenei races, each with capital cities and starting zones, promise a fresh start to current and new players alike. The jewelcrafting profession, socketed items, and expansive new player-vs.-player features round out the offering in World of Warcraft's first expansion.

The press release has some more information. I'm sure there are a lot of bleary red eyes this morning.

Blizzard are gonna make an ass-load of cash from this.

One thing that cracked me up was the Blood Elf starting zone. For some reason the elves have a crap load of cats roaming around inside one of the buildings and it didn't take long until there were dead cats f***ing everywhere. You'd be running along and then in the background you'd hear a cat scream out as it's being hammered.

Good times.

as much as i hate wow, i do approve of cat massacres

Not being allowed to swear on the interwebs is f***ed up.

hmm I'd reactivate just to hack at some cats

moderating your own swearing is pretty f***ed up. seems kinda pointless.

i might get a wow account coz i really don't like cats.

apostles of tran reunion - mission: cat klenzzing

But with out frog to write bots for perfect cat klenzing and gibfactory to check for misaligned textures ... what hope is there ?

well... warhammer just got back in aus last week, dunno if he hates cats, but he was asking if there was anywhere to play some quake... i laughed heaps... then we dueled. :D

just joking about the wow account though, i think i'll just strangle the nieghbours cat instead. :D

Warhammer hey.. did the dude used to live out near Caboolture (placed called Ningi) by any chance?

yeh thats the same bloke. :D i gave him oblivion & sent him on his way... so thats the last i'll see of him for a while prolly :P

Haha damn, I used to hang out with him years ago since we lived near each other. Haven't spoken to him in about 7 or 8 years though - send me a PM with his email if you have it.

He should chuckle when he remembers how I picked him up and we went driving only to have my hub cap come off and smash into some chicks car behind us.

I dont think any of them playing BC will be here untill next time its down for maintenance...

wows f**ked up
cat massacres are f**ked up
ur both f**ked up :)

For a second there I thought someone had jammed some censoring onto the boards or something...that would be f***ed up.

As for BC, I picked a copy of CE up on Wednesday morning but I wont be installing it for a few weeks at least. My account has been suspended for some time.
