Apparently, the Burning Legion is either as deadly and implacable as the army they are named for, or as false and tricky. Us.gorgonnash.info is now reporting them as having come from behind to unlock Phase 4 the first of all servers. Given that they are a PvP server, this would be an especially amazing show of determination and server togetherness.
However, given that, until only a few hours ago, they were only 37% according to the site, according to Trade chat on the Burning Legion server (Thanks, Zulama), and according to a poster on this thread, it seems more likely that someone tampered with their upload file to fool the site.
It's honestly rather disappointing that someone has decided to tamper with a trustworthy group effort like the gorgonnash.info website. I know we're all better than that. So to all of you who've been faithfully uploading legitimate info to the site, and to all of you who have been working hard to help your servers unlock each phase, I say congratulations, and thank you. Hopefully, one jerk from the Burning Legion server doesn't dampen our spirits.
Edit: Thanks to Unagieater of the Burning Legion server for confirming via screenshot in the comments that this is a hoax. The server is only about 41% complete with Phase 3 as of this edit.

I was just looking at that. Looks like they don't know how to change it where it looks for phase 4 yet.

Thanks, Unagieater. I was hoping to get to Shattrath and confirm it myself, but I couldn't find a mage willing to port my quickly made level 1.

If its a corrupted data file, it will get corrected later by the site owner.
If its an edited data file by someone thinking he is being smart... well your not, Thnann of Burning Legion, your a retard.

If you were smart, what you would do is click the server and check the graph. According to the graph, they went from ~38% to 100% in a few hours.
So yeah, inaccurate data.

Actually, I did exactly that, jumb, and linked to it under "the site" in my article.

I am a little disappointed though... I would of expected WoWInsider to report news proper. Instead we get an "Or" headline and story.
It was clearly false data on the site, but no you report it like its news with an ambiguous headline and all.
Could of logged onto the server and quickly asked in general. But no you ran with an ambiguous "Or" story.

Hi Shadowisp!
If you'll read the body of the article, you'll notice that I did, in fact, confirm that it was a hoax in multiple ways, including logging on the server and asking in trade chat and checking the individual server chart for the Burning Legion on the gorgonnash.info site.

Not that it matters in any way, but why are you saying "of" instead of "have"?

Sadly, in the race to open the badge vendor a lot of people where doing this, going from 75% to 100% in a few minutes even. Really quite pathetic. :(
