Was looking into going to the London one but I would have to get the train there n back and unfortunately the last train out of London is 1am.. just waiting to see if there is a local event being held now. Shame though, would of liked to meet some of the guys that have made and maintained such an awesome game.

I'm gonna be in London at 8am, yes you heard right :P
That's before they even open on the Wednesday...
Got 2 tickets to London from Peterborough (5am wakeup ftw), yeh I know one store will turn out to be doing a midnight opening there but the stock of CEs will be next to none.

I wonder if there will be any midnight openings in Wroclaw :P That's in hole called Poland not supported by RAF so probably there won't be any... but fingers crossed :)

it's fun, by the time they release the places that open you can't pre-order a copy anymore and you'll have to gamble on them having enough...
Still, the closest place I found to amsterdam (local government makes it a pain for a store to hold midnight openings) is almere at the moment, pre-ordered there, hoping to find something closer though.

would be nice getting that list, because some of us live pretty far of those cities, even if they are in the same country... and we need to plan, get train/flight tickets or whatever
32. Re: Wrath of the Lich King Midnight Openings 05/11/2008 03:27:22 PST
Well they've got the list up at last

Lots of Tescos lol
I just rang up HMV in Oxford Street and while they know about the midnight opening and all that they have no info on neither the collectors edition itself or the price yet, but the standard edition is going for £25......they're really making it an expensive trip for me since the CE is gonna cost more ><
I gather Blizzard are gonna know more on this one, think a Blue can help out? Or maybe someone that works or lives near there? I got a friend coming with me to buy one and he's only got a limited amount of money to spend, would be nice to know how much the CE is gonna cost.

I imagine the chance of turning up to a midnight opening and expecting to get a special edition is non-existent. What few copies of the BC special the stores got last time were pre ordered months in advance. I managed to get one, and don't know why i bothered. Because there was a big mess up with the special pet codes, you can still get them on ebay for the retail price.

It's so sad, becose i think in Latvia WotLK will be on ~1 dec..
Faster way is buy from some game reseller portal, but thats more expencive becose of shipping..
If you could buy key or upgrade account directly trough wow web, it was better ;]

You get a CE just for the pet? There's more than just that, and why complain about the mixup, you got a extra free pet as an apology :P
I know for places not near any of the big cities supplys will be low, thats why I'm going to London and getting there 16 hours before they open lol

Just a little note to let you know that I will be attending the midnight opening at Webhallen in Stockholm. I hope if you are able to, you will come down and say Hello :-) I will probably be wearing a Blizzard Community T-Shirt from the Worldwide Invitational.
