Deetsie's Heroic Dailies

“WOW Cata” is the upcoming third expansion for World of Warcraft.  Blizzard is totally up and about beckoning all past players to return to Azeroth by giving free 7-day game time.  They send these invites over email, which goes out mostly to those who have had paid for more than a couple of months in-game.  I received 2 invitations and I have graciously accepted!  The first one was 2 months ago but I only got to level up my Leather working and Hunting.  I didn’t play after that and resumed my hiatus.  And now I got another free game time.  Unfortunately for me, I accepted the freebie not realizing I needed to upgrade to the latest patch first.  And the patch already took 2 days and as I speak, it’s still 75% completed.  My goodness… I could have just waited.  I was too excited to check what has changed since that time I left my Deetsie hunter in Azeroth.  Oh by the way, hackers are lurking out there so make sure the emails you reply to are legit Blizzard emails and not WOW account log phishers.

So they say the target date to launch is December 7th, 2010. I reckon, it must be why the last invite I got expires November 30. By December 6th, my free game time would all be spent. And that should get me kickin’ to load up and play on the Cataclysm launch. Good thinking. But as it has always been, target date is a date that Blizzard wants to ship their game, nothing more, nothing less. It means that they have a plan and schedule to get the game ready by. But as everyone knows, game launch schedules can and do change. Some time last year Mike Morhaime, CEO of Blizzard, confirmed during a DirecTV interview that Cataclysm will be launched 2010. The year is almost over so it MUST be this December alright.
