Ffffff- Cataclysm pre-order blues

I'm trying to buy the next expansion for WOW but I have a bit of a problem in that I can't buy it from the blizzard pre-order site since it doesn't have a pay-pal option. Are there any online sites you guys trust that can just email the registration key instead of having to wait for a physical copy?

I don't know of any sites, but you could try going to a grocery store or a convinience store and getting a pre-paid credit card.

Also, I've been SORELY tempted to get WoW lately... But I don't own any WoW stuff, and I hear you have to offer up your soul to get past level 40?

I live overseas, so a lot of the more mundane options are closed to me.

It isn't that hard to get to 80 soon to be 85. The only stuff that will be closed to those not willing to sacrifice children are high end raiding and super high end pvp. Other than that it's pretty friendly.

I don't know what kind of restrictions you have but if a prepaid card is out of the question, you may have to befriend someone without those restrictions to get a copy purchased and the key sent to you.

And Cataclysm is making it much easier on new players. Once you hit around 60 it gets tougher but not hard by any means.

Theres a promotion that lets you "recruit a friend" to play world of warcraft, linking the two of your accounts together, and giving you a few benefits that last for the first 3 months you play. One of those benefits is triple experience points when playing together on toons up to level 60. I'd suggest you just have a friend of yours who already plays recruit you and then you two can grind to 60 in like 3 days.

Furthermore, there is currently a promotion that lets you buy WoW, BC, WotLK, and Cataclysm for 20% off the price of buying each of them separately, which I imagine means its still 80 dollars instead of 100, considering how expensive its going to be stacking up all these expansions.

Well, I got into it at the urging of a bunch of RL friends (MMOs are always better played with friends.) and mostly playing on weekends, I'm up to 64, and it's not as bad as it was when I first played.

Guess it really comes down to who you play with.

Azeroth is probably due to shatter next week. Everything in the old world will get changed, and all. So it's a good time to fire up your account again if you've got one.

They've actually made a ton of changes to the game since classic WoW that have made it more user-friendly and less grindy. Exp from levels 40-60 has been significantly reduced, the dungeon finder was added, hearth cooldown reduced, Epic mounts and Flying mounts are obtainable cheaper and at lower levels than they could be previously, and about a thousand other changes to just help speed things up a bit.

Blizzard has officially stated that Azeroth is going to shatter on December 7th.

Nevermind, I'll just go put my foot in my mouth while you guys read this link.

EDIT: I got myself set up on the PTR for 4.0.3a. The new launcher looks amazing

I'm on the PTR as well, set myself up with a tauren priest and did a tour of Azeroth. I know spoil the surprise and all, but I just did what I was going to do first day of the patch and I didn't have the patch day bugginess interfering

Also druids, even troll druids are still underwhelming. I am disappointed.
