  Brady needs to get thier act together. Accepting pre-orders in October for a product that they don’t ship until the end of July is totally unacceptable. Surely someone at Brady realizes 10 months delay is reputation damaging. . .

  I had sort of hoped that the extensive delays were due to Brady wanting to include maps from the Ulduuar raiding instance but that hope proved misplaced.

  The Atlas itself is well made, easy to read and navigate, just like all of Brady’s previous WoW atlases, BUT the continual delays in production and shipping have considerably cheapened the product and decreased its rating. If Brady had shipped within a reasonable amount of time this rating would be a 4-5 star instead of the 1-2 star rating I elected to give it.

  Come on Brady. . . get your act together!!!

  Anything Brady could potentially place into this book is already available, free of charge, from a plethora of wikis and websites which are continually updated to ensure their accuracy as Blizzard updates the content. Going all the way back to Everquest, static atlases for MMOs have been a terrible waste of time and I don’t forsee this being any different.

  For the love of Pete! The release date for this book is nearly a year passed due and I get (yet again) another approval for order delay from Amazon. Boy, Brady sure has lost a ton of money from the sale of this book. From the forums & blogs, it appears that MANY players now feel the book is obsolete, especially since they have already reached level 80 & have fully explored Northrend. There is no reason for such a long delay in this book’s release, it’s not like there is a lot of fine detailing that goes into one of these atlases & there hasn’t been any really major Northrend area updates (except maybe Uladar). Even then it shouldn’t matter that much since they released the BC atlas without Shadowmoon Valley & Quel’Danas. This is really, really sad & not good business practices.

  There are plenty of dedicated WOW sites, don’t piss away your money on a book. Example: WOW Wiki,[. . . ], etc.

  I pre-ordered this atlas back on October 29, 2008 and have received an email from Amazon nearly every month since then asking me to approve a new shipment date because apparently the release of this keeps getting pushed back.

  Rumors of the next World of Warcraft expansion are already circulating and this atlas still isn’t available? This is just sad. I wouldn’t be surprised if the next expansion actually releases prior to me receiving this atlas.

  I’m happy with the other atlases that Brady Games has released but I’m so disappointed with how this one is being handled. It’s not like these atlases really use high resolution images or anything like that. They’re kind of just blown-up versions of the in-game maps, but still. . . I like having these.

  Hopefully Brady Games will get their act together and release this thing before it becomes completely irrelevant.
