Over the Thanksgiving weekend, players continued to buy World of Warcraft in record numbers, with a total of over 350,000* copies of the game selling through. Blizzard Entertainment and its retail partners expect the remaining supplies of World of Warcraft to sell out soon. Blizzard is currently evaluating its ability to ship additional games to retailers, given the unexpectedly high demand on the servers. The company continues to increase server capacity to accommodate the growing number of players connecting to the game. As the additional servers are brought online and proven stable, additional copies of World of Warcraft will be made available at retail. Blizzard will announce the availability of those additional games as soon as they are on shelves.


Quote from blizzard. They will not get another shipment till servers are stable if I read correctly. Can anyone tell me what this means, if they will not send another shipment to retailers? I think we should wait until Blizzard gets another statement or on the news till we can buy another package.

Thats what they are implying, no new boxs going out to resellers till they feel they can handle more people. Of course almost all the online sellers still have stock for sale. Check gogamer.com, gamestop and EB.

ordered mine yesterday from gogamer.com, processed and said it shipped today, if the overnight shipping goes well will be here tomorrow. Still waiting on tracking, dont think they send out shipments till 5pm est. I think all those sites have them in stock, they took the CE edition off their sites when they ran out, so if its listed on the site they probably have some boxes.

It's not on Go-gamers. I think wal-mart has it, and I might get it cause my friend is ordering something online and I'm ordering something with him. Thanks.

Whats bothering me that the Game Cards haven't shipped in my area and my credit card doesn't have room for a monthly fee. I preordered right after I bought my copie of WoW. Gamestop told me that the Gamecards would be there at noon on the 30th.
I went to the store and everyone in it was clueless about when the shipment would come to the store I said fine I'll just go to another store or wait another day. Well now its the first and still no game cards what a load of ******** and on top of that I waste 5 dollars so I can have a card reserved for nothing. I called the guy again at noon today and he told me that he doesn't know when they're coming. All of a sudden now he doesn't know but he told me they would be there in the 30th. I'm starting to lose patience again because I haven't even started playing and the more time passes by the more I'll get screwed when more people come to this game.

Was a thread on the WoW forums that someone working at a store had unpacked the cards, so it looks like they have shipped at least but are not on the shelves yet. Was also someone saying that he used a gift card he got from his bank, basically a prepaid gift card that acts like a credit card.

Yes, I know how to get one of those giftcards but theres no point. If I order that then the game cards obviously will come before the giftcard so I'll be wasting money.

I really hope they fix these problems and put up more servers so that more game packages could be in retail.
