Alright, so we all know how WoW has affected our daily lives and how we manage it, but with the expansion coming out shortly how do you people think it's going to effect our countries? Will it affect it at all, or is it just another drop in the social bucket?

I know...it seems silly, but with a ridiculously large fanbase that World of Warcraft has how many of you actually plan on calling in sick, or have you scheduled something else in the meantime?

Myself...I'm saving a weeks vacation in preparation of the release of TBC (I know...I'm a big nerd) as calling in sick to work is a quick way to get my ass fired (corporate environment).

Not sure if this is Shit Heap worthy, but wondering if anyone else actually wonders about this kinda stuff, and it's a nice change from some of the posts lately ;) No excel file or pie chart, just general speculation! I will be preordering TBC with 3 or 4 different EB Games/Best Buy and picking it up ASAP :) I've had bad experiences with "preorders" (I used to work for a game store, so...I know how there can be shortages...lol), so I don't want to mess up the experience :)

I'll be a fulltime student then, so no worries about not having time to play. As for preordering, I preordered at the game storeI used to work at and did it like an hour after the employees did. So I'm #5 in the queue.

I'm saving a week off work to attempt to level to 70 on my raiding "main".

But it's going to be a seriously upsetting time of my life given that I have, at last count, 7 level 60 toons.

(Every class but warlock for some reason)
