Are you prepared? - Image 1This is part two of The Burning Crusade launch coverage. Sadly, Gnomeregan Gnews Gnetwork correspondent Wendy Breeze was covering the California launch, that's why they didn't have any reporters covering news on the other side of the world.

Anyway, the video features major European launches, from London to Paris to Berlin to Stockholm. While they didn't have the class dance contest, they did look like they were having a heck of a time. A lot of cosplayers (dressed up) showed up and stood in the cold for a number of hours.

As one would have it, it seems that Europeans are pretty big on dressing up as their favorite WoW character. Plus the crowd is pretty diverse. A mother and daughter were standing in line, a girl with funky fuchsia hair, and a student who admitted to giving up his classes for the day to attend the launch.

Whoever said gamers don't know how to have a life fun is wrong. Except for that French dude who reached level 70 in just 28 hours, WoW players in general are a happy, fun-loving bunch. Was it only the other day when a few players came up with a damage per second calculator? We don't know if you will be using that one but new players certainly would.

Anyway, here's more proof that WoW isn't all about raiding and leveling up. If you visit the World's End Tavern in the Lower City of Shattrath, you'll be seeing a Blizzard-placed NPC modeled in the likeness of Paris Hilton. you may also catch a glimpse of her pet Tinkerbell. To play it safe, the character's name was changed to Haris Pilton.

Well, we haven't got the chance to meet Pilton yet in Azeroth but if we do, we will talk to her and ask her about her experiences. After some minutes of shallow talk, we might even use that DPS calculator on her. We'll see..
