Blizzard posted:
Join us at 9 p.m. PST on Monday, December 6 at the Fountain Valley Fry?s Electronics in Southern California for the Cataclysm midnight launch. Help us celebrate the dawn of a new age with the powerful music of The Artists Formerly Known as Level 80 Elite Tauren Chieftain, an epic /dance competition, autographs from the development team, and more.

The party begins at 9 p.m. so be sure to arrive early, and get your copy* signed by the developers when the store opens at midnight on December 7.

If you don?t live close enough to Southern California to make it, don?t worry -- there are other select retail locations opening at midnight around North America to celebrate the launch of Cataclysm. For a list of participating stores, check out the websites below:

This isn?t necessarily an exhaustive list of retailers hosting midnight launch events, so check availability with your local retailer.

Attending a midnight launch in your area? We want to see your pictures! We?ll be hosting midnight launch pictures from around the world, and some of them could be yours. Send your midnight launch photos to promotions@blizzard.com

*Quantities are limited and will be available on a first-come, first-served basis, so be sure to arrive early.

Are you going to a brick&mortar store to pick up a copy? Or did you buy online?

Eh, I bought from the Blizzard store. I had reserved a copy at my local Gamestop but when I found out the content wouldn't be available until midnight PST...I figured what was the point in rushing out to zomg-get-copy-fast-so-I-can-play-right-away if I wasn't going to be able to play for 2 hours anyway? I'll sleep until 1:45 my time then wake up to play. ^_^

I'm not sure why anyone would be compelled to go stand in line for a box ( unless you're a collector edition fan boy ). Digital download is so much less hassle.

If there's much of a line at my local Gamestop I'll be amazed.

But of course, mine is already completely pre-paid and will simply be waiting for me at Gamestop at 10:00 a.m. the morning of the 7th. No need for me to go at midnight and stand in line grin

Having the disc would save a whole lot of download time should you ever need to re-install the game.

Except they will have sold your copy to someone else by that time, pre-paid or not. That's just the kind of snaffu retailers are becoming famous for lately. The horror stories I heard during the past couple of years from players pre-ordering Warhammer Online, Age of Conan, etc. I don't trust my local Game Stop to still have it in the morning, I will be in line at 10pm Monday night and snag mine before they have a chance to show just how incompetent they can actually be at what should be a smooth and pain free thing.

I'm getting a free Collector's Edition key from a RL friend who works at Blizzard, before Midnight so no waiting around in the cold for me.
