Quote:I would be joining you Gnu, except Blizzard seem to assume that all WWI attendees had European WoW accounts, and conversely that all Blizzcon 07 attendees had US server accounts. Trying to upgrade my (North American) account last night, I got "invalid authentication key" messages. Hopefully the problem will be sorted by the time I get home.
How did you find the WWI?
Yeah, I heard there were a lot of problems with the US/EU crossover, strange that they couldn't predict those issues. The (one) server is currently horribly unstable though, so you're not missing out on that much. Roughly twice an hour you get booted with a nice "world server down" message.:)
The WWI was quite a blast. I met up there with a Swedish friend who's currently living in Italy and his Italian girlfriend, and a Dutch former WoW player who showed up mostly for the social aspect and SC2. We had some nice food, played some nice games, visited some nice buildings and enjoyed the awesome costumes and dances. :D
Pretty insane start of the weekend when ran into Samwise just inside the building, and caught him a bit "off duty". He's a really nice guy, and he even posed for a picture with the four of us! :)
