WoW's expansion will ship in time

Submitted by Abalieno on December 31, 2006 - 17:22.

Contrarily to what I expected, The Burning Crusade has Gone Gold and will be ready for the January 16 launch:

The expansion has already gone gold. We see no reason why the game isn't going to be on the shelves at the planned date.

January 16th, in case you forgot.

With the release not being delayed I wonder if the expansion is actually complete.

I do expect the servers to have problems and bugs to come up, but there isn't much you can do about that. Those are issues that I consider tolerable because you can never be ready about everything. In those case you can only have patience and I'll always excuse Blizzard (or any other company) for that.

But I wonder if the content is complete. Outside of those things that they said won't be there at launch, all the rest is already accessible and working properly in beta?

I'm a bit skeptical. Maybe I'm wrong.

I used to feel really tempted to pre-order the Burning Crusade. That kind of faded as I slowly grew less and less attached to the game after quiting. I still check the sites every day and keep up with how my old guild is doing but I really couldn't care less.

The longer I played the more static the world felt. The addition of some neutral cities that can change sides would help but the game just feels flat and static to me. I also could never stand the giagantic dragons that clip through everything in their path. Little details like the fact that the king of stormwind is trapped somewhere EVERYONE knows about but can't seem to be saved from just break any sense of immersion I originally had.

I hope people not getting the xPac are looking forward to the side effects of everyone else trying to get it installed.

If you have a WoW character over 55 I can send you a beta invite. If the expansion is gold a lot of people are screwed. I know they plan of patching in fixes but I'm not sure they can get everything fixed in time. I'll write up what's wrong later today.
