Poll: Collector's or Regualr

[nobbie]

P.S. See you in spring in WoW.

I've just recently picked up WC3 (the supposedly "limited" Collector's Edition ;)) and the TFT expansion from the bargain bin. I'm relatively new to the realtime strategy genre and am currently enjoying my first steps very much. The new game concept, which by the way requires much more brain work than hack & slash, is really refreshing after 3 years of bashing monsters for items (Diablo II), and since WOW will not be that different from Diablo II in this regard - WOW is actually just rather expensive hack & slash "de luxe" - I have absolutely no problems to wait until summer 2005 to play my first free month on the German WOW servers. I hope that the dust has settled for us Germans until then. Although WOW is supposed to ship by the end of February 2005 in Germany/Europe, I doubt that I'll "waste" my first free playing month during the first chaotic introductory phase. Summer 2005 sounds like a good time to start ;)

By the way, the German fansite inWOW.de just reported that you will be able to play the European English version (but only the European, not the American!) of WOW/WOW Collector's on the German servers. This is important to know for those interested in either the English WOW version or the WOW Collector's Edition, which is just partly localized in German language (box, game and manual only). So, you can order your English WOW/WOW Collector's Edition in the U.K., i.e. Amazon.co.uk, and be able to play on the German servers.
