World of Warcraft comes out Nov. 23

[Lawrence Ng]

As a hard core role playing gamer, I have been looking forward to this release for over 3 years.

About 3 days ago I signed up for their Final Stress Test, prior to this upcoming Open Beta which I believe will start later this week.

Having only logged about 10 hours of playtime in the game thus far, I am very impressed once more with Blizzard. They have yet, still YET, to dissapoint me with a product that is even worth slandering.

Does anyone else here plan on playing World of Warcraft. The slated release date is Nov. 23rd. I'm probably going to be restarting all over again because very likely Blizzard will reset the servers and erase all characters, disallowing the character transfer.

Having said this, it means I will be devoting many hours a week to this game. Playing this new MMORPG will be using up a great deal of my leisure hours, depriving me of sleep till I reach level 60, and ultimately kill my social life. So where does poker fit in? Well, I won't be off to the cardroom anytime soon, but I still need my poker fix.

So I guess it's time for me to finally seriously take up playing poker online. One hour of online play with even just 2 tables would equal 4-5 hours of playing live. Yep, it's going to be a challenge for me because I've yet to beat the limit games online. But I think balancing out online poker with online role playing games will be a great way to get my tilt factor off.

So, is anyone else going to be playing this?
