With a plethora of threads related to TBC i am not sure where to bury this. So I started a new thread.

why dont you raise your cooking and fishing skill higher

Yup. Not really much to discuss, but good to hear a solid date finally.

In certain job sectors (IT notably) I wonder how many people are going to be taking vacation time that week?

Also, the real pressing question: Are you a Chief Justice or Imperator? Which is it? Enquiring minds want to know!

Does that avatar count as signing a post? ;)

I hope to god the release will be smoother than vanilla, which was (in Europe at least) a nightmare.

I think he's just a kid next door, Gurg.

You could edit the release date into the topic.

Now, to await the release date of patch 1.upgradetoTBC

I foresee a wicked outbreak of influenza.

What mod did you use to get that square minimap in the top left corner? It looks really cool!

Oh wait, wrong thread.

Time to book that holiday indeed! (And yes, I work in IT!)

Maligne · 11/09/06, 10:31 AM

I wouldn't schedule vacation around this date just yet. I feel bad for all the people that locked in on "end of Q4" and now have a week to...well...enjoy the holidays. Maybe it's not so bad after all.

snape · 11/09/06, 10:33 AM

Well, whatever day it comes out - I'm taking off 2 days in front and 2 days behind. :)

If anyone is considering taking time off, I would advise the week of Jan. 22-26 instead. Planning time off around an MMO patch day, let alone full-scale release day is, as a rule, a horrible idea. Anyone who started out on the US servers Mal'Ganis, Archimonde, Khadgar, or Dalaran for WoW's release can attest to that.

3 of us in our office have already scheduled time off for it. Since I'm in information security I'm just waiting for some jackass to realese a nasty exploit during that week.

...and yes I remember release. "unable to find server" x 10,000. Thankfully our time off system is easily edited as long as we're 2 weeks ahead.

They'll get the servers up and running just in time to bring them down again for maintenance.

Hah, I had to burn my vacation time or lose it before the end of the year. I had planned the last week off in December for playing the expansion. /grumbles
