I went searching tonight at 2 tesco stores and both had sold out. One had the box on the shelf but they lady couldnt find the game. Put back on shelf by accident. BAA. Got my hopes up.

Anyone know if there are problems with manufacturers or are they just not selling anymore at the moment. Amazon still has crazy dates of April, Play are still out of stock and Game dont even have it listed ont thier website.

ill be joinng you all as soon as i find a copy :(

QuoteBlizzard Entertainment supplied 560,000 boxes of World of Warcraft to its retail partners for launch. As additional servers are brought online and proven stable, re-orders will be fulfilled for stores across Europe, and additional copies of World of Warcraft will then be available at retail.

doesnt look like i will see any boxes for a little while then :/

That's a bummer. The reality is, as with any game, plenty of folk will by WOW, have a dabble, and decide it aint for them. So i doubt 550,000 purchasers will end up being 550,000 users. As soon as the server loads settle down I'm sure they'll be realising more copies. Give it a week or two.

There are copies out there. When i got mine, Game had sold out but HMV had some. as for getting games in tesco. They always seem to run a bit behind.

If you are going to get the game.  I would get it sooner rather than later. as we will all be closer in levels. and more able to help out. not as much fun if everyone else is not 30 levels above you.

Hmmm, this could be an idea for the next PC game chart-topping blockbuster:  a MMORPG where you fly around in spaceships killing mutant inter-stellar rats by firing a variety of cutlery with varying levels of damage, poison and buff.  I can hear it now: "Buff my ladle so I can poison that rat"  :lmfao:

What do you think?   Has the idea got space legs?
