So you thought you’d be skipping out on lines today, huh? Or needless Midnight Launch queues? Figured you’d be the smart guy and take a nap while you wait for your digital version of the expansion to download? Sorry, pal, but no such luck if you’ve waited this long to do it. As the headline implies, it seems as though the wait to download Cataclysm is currently at three+ hours (1 AM PST):

Position 578,635?! No word on whether or not the wait will get better. It’s possible most digital downloaders have acted ahead of time and this is about the worst it’ll be. Or it could just be the start of an even longer wait ahead.
It’s even WORSE when all you freaking want to do is check some account details – such as billing dates and parental controls.

Just 3 hours? When I checked last night, there were 500k people in the queue but the wait was *7* hours.

I just tried to upgrade my account and there was no queue at all. Seems to have calmed down, or they quickly brought up some extra hardware. :-)
