BC Collector's Pre-Order

Any news on that yet?  I haven't even played the game for a few months, and I still want it… blush

Re: BC Collector's Pre-Order

It was up for preorder for about a day and then they ran out of online sales at EB/Gamestop. Don't know about other places.

Re: BC Collector's Pre-Order

I just don't waste time on preorders. Half the time the seller doesnt get enough in so your stuck waiting on a preorder or you have to pay for another copy. When it comes out, i'll be just walking into a Target or something and buying it there.

Re: BC Collector's Pre-Order

I'm with NC on that.  I'll probably wait until they have their first massive patch, the first or second Tuesday after its released. wink

There is going to be a rather massive patch whether you buy the xpack or not.

Re: BC Collector's Pre-Order

Yes, so I want to wait until that's over.  Why risk a major bug on my computer?

Well, I was just saying that whether or not you buy the xpack - if you plan on playing WoW period you'll be dling a huge patch (larger for those that don't buy it actually).

Re: BC Collector's Pre-Order

Less risk, as that will probably just be a whopping load of new textures and models.

Re: BC Collector's Pre-Order

Not really - it's giving you everything that BC has, you just can't access it.  Still have to get the stuff to see people with jewels, the new voices, etc.

Re: BC Collector's Pre-Order

I'm sure the client application will be getting the same code changes too.. why would they want to maintain two seperate code bases that have to remain compatible?

No, I think you'll get the same bugs whether you buy TBC or not...

Re: BC Collector's Pre-Order

I don't think the 2.0 patch is going to give you the zone specific stuff. But it should include about everything else.

Eh, I wouldn't be surprised if it lets you visit the starting areas/capitols for the new races... basically all of the non-instance/outland stuff.  You won't be able to do the quests there though.

Re: BC Collector's Pre-Order

Nope, they won't let you. There are instance portals similar to how the tram works. If you don't have tbc you can't load in there.

Re: BC Collector's Pre-Order

I know. If they were going to limit the zones like that at least just put in an invisible barrier.

Re: BC Collector's Pre-Order

There will be a content patch (like was mentioned) for non-BC purchasing players that allows them to experance a few things that BC has to offer, the least of which are new models, textures, graphic files, and supposedly a new graphics engine. Expect the patch to be quite large indeed.
