The French’s luck with the Burning Crusade has proven better than their luck with the actual Crusades. OK, lame setup, but it still merits mention that a French player has already hit level 70 in WoW, a scant 28 hours after the expansion launched. This is after many players posited it would take ‘months’ to reach the level cap. Note to would-be designers: it never takes ‘months’. Stop thinking it, or at least stop saying it out loud.

As an aside, congratulations to the Blizzard team for a relatively smooth launch day for the expansion, save the server queues driven by renewed interest in the game.

Me, I haven’t gotten it yet, but then I’m on my 360 kick right now, so it will probably have to wait a bit.
