'Wrath of the Lich King' Launch
Today, a few of us decided to join the 'WoW' fun at the launch of 'Wrath Of the Lich King'.

Well, we were there around 11am when the main crowd around the entrance were the early-birds who were orderly and eagerly awaiting to collect their expansion packs. The queue snakes all the way round the corner to the adjacent street.
Everyone waiting patiently for the doors to be open for collection
By 11.30am, Carpenter Street was jam packed with avid WoW gamers who came to get their hands on THE box...
The alley next to SAFRA Town Club was jammed packed with people
Hearing from the people there, we gathered that the first in line started queueing since 5pm the day before! Kudos to them... for their enthusiasium and patience...
The sense of achievement and satisfaction for the first group in the queue
Once the clock struck 12 noon, the 'onslaught' begun and the first wave of 50 early birds were allowed access into SAFRA Town Club to collect their pre-ordered sets. Within 30 minutes, they started streaming out with huge boxes, immense glow on their faces and begin splitting the reward among the friends and guild members who were eagerly awaiting outside.
On average for the first wave, each person pre-ordered or collected about 8 sets of W.O.L.K
All cheers as everyone starts sharing the 'rewards' collected after hours of queuing
So... how was the expereince for us?... Well, we were anticipating some WoW factor with pomp and ceremony... but nothing much except some cos-play characters dressed up as the Blood Elf and the Lich King (some say he's a little shorter than expected... I suppose they imagined him to be some over-powering character in-game... =p )
Cosplay of Blood Elf and Lich King drew some attention
Watch this space for more as we document further entries of our experience in W.O.L.K!
