I got this lovely care package from Blizzard today, but as most World of Warcraft gamers know (especially those who got the game early), it doesn’t mean very much, because Northrend won’t be accessible until Midnight EST.

Well, that’s just 10 minutes away now. Mount your mounts, sharpen your blades, and load up on mana pots bitches — it’s time to explore Northrend!!!!

Update: 12:15am and Northrend looks pretty broken as you can see below. I took the boat from Stormwind Harbor and the game booted me. When I signed back in I had to work my way out of the boat because I was stuck halfway in the floor.

Once on top all I could see was floating trees and lots of fog. One brave soul jumped off the boat and I’m pretty sure he is still falling. So much for the big “WoW” moment…
