For all you folks out there who have been waiting for the World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade, the release is coming up! Have you pre-purchased your copy? Have you gotten your characters to level 60 to explore Outland?

This time around, I’ve decided to wait. I bought the Collector’s Edition when the game first came out, and I’ve never regretted it. But after looking it over, I’m thinking that the extra stuff in the Burning Crusade CE will not be enough to warrant buying it for me. Experience may differ for each of you I’m sure. :)

Unfortunately I have the “pleasure” of being one who has played World of Warcraft since day one (in the closed beta as well!) and I remember all too well how it was when it first came out. Every newbie area was swarming with people. If you had to kill something, you had to get in a group because there no way you’d be able to tag any creature without help.

No thanks folks. I’ll wait a few days, maybe even a week. Take my word, it’s gonna be so swarmed it won’t be worth it.

Just go ahead and keep playing your higher level characters and start farming items. You know everyone will be either in the newbie areas (Draenei and Blood Elves) or they’ll be in Outland.
