If this is the case they'll need to sort out their shipping, otherwise they will be locking out a large number of players who won't be able to get their hands on the damn things. Unless they start selling them in stores here that is.

That’s great, so they should send everyone a free authenticator. Because, I do not see why, I should pay when they are seriously not capable of dealing with security for their products.

I think the introduction of using your e-mail address as your username is the stupidest most idiotic thing I have ever seen in my life. Only a low level security person would have ever considered doing this. I always tell people do not use easy to use usernames or passwords and this huge multimillion dollar company goes and does this. How stupid can they be?

I think they're right up there with George W Bush

I bought mine 2nd week in December at it still hasn't arrived. Can't imagine what it would be like for guys in further away countries.

It becoming mandatory can be a good excuse to quit the game.

Everything about Blizzard is mandatory - mandatory downloads, mandatory expansions, mandatory account upgrades, mandatory, mandatory, mandatory - @ YOUR expense.

I miss WoW - but I can't trust myself to behave myself in much the same way as I could never say no to a hot chick...
