Anyone found the DoD retail box yet?

I went to a few (ok, 4 stores here yesterday,
and none of them had Depths of Darkhollow yet.
This is in Connecticut, USA.

Has anyone seen it in (US) stores yet?
I don't want to buy the online-only version,
since I want the "free" mount for my
beastlord.

But I also don't want to keep going to stores if
some production problem has kept the boxes off the
shelves...

Thanks in advance!

Bought one from eb games yesterday afternoon. The store opened at 10 and by
11:30 they only had 2 left on the shelves, so I'm not sure if they sold that
many, or didn't order many in, or didn't get a full order but it seemed kind
of strange that they only had 2.

Subscriptions are down so distrobutions will be down also. If they sold
out on day one they are doing better than they expected too.

I like the solution of "free EQ via a friend to power level you up" though.
A good fix for a real problem as starting from scratch in EQ is still just
stupid-hard-confusing, the world is frigging huge.

we preordered from gamestop in baltimore, 5 bucks to reserve it and it was
waiting behind the counter when we arrived.

God knows when it will hit the shops in the UK, heh. I want the two
items too, even though the consensus on the Boar is "it is slower than
a 3-legged mule" - I had to laugh when I read that in OOC

People were complaining that Rogues (and maybe 1 other character?)
couldn't use the Gargoyle item. I wonder if that was just another
cockup...

As of last night, no pure melee class can use the gargoyle item. Monks,
Rogues, Warriors, and Zerkers aren't on the list.

You have to be able to cast a spell to use it apparently. I don't know ...
I haven't claimed mine as of yet. Just looking at the one someone linked in
/gu. ;-)

Being a cleric, I was able to use mine last night and was playing as a
65 Gargoyle. That monsters class is Berserker, however, he comes with
no weapon and you cant equip one either.... He is, on the up side,
maxed out in hand to hand. He was like a monk more then a zerker.

He did have an interesting bug though. He has an AA skill that is
levitate. When I click on it, it wont cast but tells me that I dont
have enough mana LOL. Since zerkers dont have mana, I think this is
going to be a useless skill.

Oh, to the OP, I got mine in EB Games yesterday. There were about 5
left on the shelf.

Many thanks - I'd hate to give it to the wrong character!
