I think we should all be used to it by now, still bloody annoying though. I was refreshing furiously on a few sites and the worst problem I saw is that it didn’t even appear on many of them. The novel did for about 3 mins until it disappeared.

Kept getting the continuous spinning wheel of death on OTT store, but it looks like I managed to secure one.

The number of people trying to get the game has done a number on pretty much every store’s infastructure.

On the bright side, this isn’t a limited boxed game. It will be back in stock.

I tried getting a copy at OTT store but kept crashing got as far as going through PayPal to be told it could not complete as was now out of stock, by this time it was 10:30 so checked GW site just in case an was able to preorder a copy without issue, missed the limited key but was not really bothered for that.

I logged into the online store i normaly buy stuff like this at about 10:45 this morning and around 11 o’clock I saw the englisch version of the game but it was sold more or less immediately. A tiny bit later the german version poppep up, and while I normally buy Games Workshop stuff in english I like to get the boardgames in german, so that was finde with me.

Added the game and some Lumineth stuff to my basket and wanted to buy it, buzt I was already logged out again so I logged in and the game was sold out.

Got one from another store though, there they were also selling the book.

It might be hard to get one on pre-order day, but it’s not usually that hard to get. Sometimes you just have to wait until the second print run.  GW have a finite production capacity and they have to balance supply and demand to get products to market in order to make cash, sometimes that means doing multiple small print runs.  Saying they’re “utter bastards” is probably a bit harsh.

However in this case, the rate at which they sold out was actually slower. Normally they sell in the first few minutes, this time they had copies left on the GW store at 10:30.

Well it seems that there might be no more Cursed City either only for the time beeing or forever:

I hope there will be a reprint, I got my copy of the game but I really would like everyone that wants one gets one and it would be nice to have some expansions.
