200hours? You shouldn't trust some flash animation solely. If you pick a server that has high population then sure, some hour a day you might get to be in line. But there's also alot of servers that don't have high population. It's just that people flocked to the servers with the "coolest" name at the start of retail.
And hah, I haven't seen where they say they make the best MMORPG ever. I however, think they've done it. It's everything I wanted in mmorpg save for housing.
And I laugh at you who has to use pre-defined chat phrases on a PS2  |

Well, given that PCs games generally have a much smaller sales margin than console games, this is entirely acceptable. It just pisses me off that they didn't have the foresight to have enough power behind them before really starting this up. |

False.
They made plenty of copies, they just didn't expect the game to sell so fast so they're slowing down production while they deal with that problem. |

At least Blizzard ANSWERED the questions with more than 1-2 line answers.
I got "...come on, like we were supposed to know we'd sell 600,000 copies! We'd be crazy to think that!" out of it.  |

Level 12 Dwarf Hunter. Pet: Level 12 Spider.
15 hours play time, or something. But I sometimes leave the game running without actually playing. |

Went on my first raid on this server yesterday. Banded a group of 20 people, heading from Auberdine to The Barrens - The hoarde are stronger on our server than most of us, few people past lvl 25, whereas we were mostly 17-20. Ended up splitting up and getting our asses thoroughly kicked.
Gnome Mage is pretty fun, can't wait for 11th |

Would this be the one?
ALSO: Did anyone read the Penny Arcade newspost where they asked Blizzard a bunch of questions regarding the server outages? Was I the only one who got "We can handle all the people but we really can't" out of the first answer? |

I can just grab five copies from my local wal-mart. I would say just send $50 (plus shipping and handleing) and I could mail it back, but I seriously advise that you shouldn't trust me.
Don't go looking in game shops or anything, just look at a Wal-Mart or Best Buy or something. |

I remember the queues, we had them in the American Open Beta at one point due to demand. They weren't so long then but I get the idea of what it is that they're doing.
Of course, even if I can get the game soon, the fact that Blizzard's putting a temporary stop on new copies might make it hard. |

Nightmare to try and get into the game sometimes.
Go to low populated servers or you may find yourself waiting about 3 hours to log in.

Which is why it already has around 600,000 subscribers, which (contrary to belief) is NOT a good thing. Good for the company, bad when they have to try fit all of them onto the servers at once. |

Bah. Good luck anyways, you'll enjoy it. 
Maybe...
I played WoW, didn't really like it, I'm going back to FFXI when I can get some money.
If you like fast paced things, it should be good for you though. |
