Whether you are playing Early Access or Launch Night how will you prepare for your first dive into The War Within? Will you have energy drinks and/or coffee to keep you going? What food will you stock up on? Will you stay up through the first night or get a good night’s sleep?
Nothing. I will just log in when I return after work and play as if there are new quests.
I’ll probably be online when it starts and do a few hours before going to bed.
I’ve never needed anything like energy drinks to keep me going ever.
In my usual way on the official launch night - Beer, cigarettes and snacks
I will make cup of tea, then i will try figure out what I need to do to get started in new expansion. The tea shall be my prepararation 
I haven’t decided yet if I’m playing through the night or not especially as there is early access. I may do a few hours on EA launch and then sleep through and start the next day. The trick will be if I can leave it alone or not and go sleep or will be too hyped and stay up 
In the past I’ve had coffee and easy things to snack on when I’ve been flagging, just to keep me going through the night. However I will definitely buying doing some easy meals for the first week for convenience.
You mean microwave meals???
I wish I had pepperone hot pockets 
EUW no, I don’t like those.
I meant more along the lines of easy meals to prep/cook.
Pretty much this. Also no snacks in front of my PC, my rule is: no food outside of the kitchen / living room. 
pc table is my dinner table, breakfast, lunch and dinner 
It’s for cleaning purposes, but also to force myself to do a proper break for eating / drinking something.
Will go to bed and sleep, cuz I’m sure, that launch night and few days after will be unplayable, I can afford myself to wait a little time and enter properly maintained game and avoid tons of lags, bugs, glitches, queues etc
I meant to wait until after the holidays, but I changed my mind.
My microsoft office laptop is loaded and ready to rock its minimum settings at 15fps.
As for the food, I don’t need to stock up, it’s the first time since Wrath that an expansion launches while I’m at my parents’ house, so I can’t afford going full gremlin and play non-stop for days on end. But I’ve earned enough good elf points and I’m confident my mum will bring me sliced peaches and grapes even if I say no.
I am going to make taco food, drink water and pepsi MAX! Maybe Icecream vanilla, blueberry, raspberry and hazelnuts. Gonna play few hours! Have fun!
Pringles ice cream Dr Pepper maybe some monsters
Some ham and cheese sandwiches and some choco to drink but cold cos i’m a degenerate
This is 10 times better cold.
I have early access but I’ll not prepare anything. I’ll play at my usual times and see the story.
Not taking a rush like I always do at the start of an expansion.
I am already prepared, i cleaned out my bags and banks for all the unnessecary stuff that has piled up over the course of DF, as i do at the end of every expansion. My characters are leveled, geared, and their quest logs are clear. All ready to go.
As for launch night, im gonna stock up on snacks and drinks, make myself a good dinner, watch a movie, and about an hour before launch, ill log into the game, and await the launch, then i will play till i can’t keep my eyes open any longer.
This has been my new expansion ritual every expansion since MoP
Early access starts on my birthday.
Very late on my birthday at 11pm but my birthday nonetheless.
So im getting pizza and macaroni bites.
