When the North American realms came back online after maintenance today, the second Sunwell Plateau gate was open. This means that all you high-end raiding guilds now have a chance to tackle M'uru, SWP boss number five, while I cry softly to myself and work on melting Malchezaar's face off. The first SWP gate was opened after patch 2.4 had been live for two weeks, and the second, today, was three weeks after that. This makes the likelihood seem pretty decent that the Nobody killed M'uru when 2.4 was on the PTR, so we don't really know what he might drop, although four trinkets named "...Naaru Sliver" seem fairly likely, as they are SWP drops and M'uru is a Naaru. See World of Raids for stats on the trinkets and some information on the M'uru fight. The European realms will presumably get the second gate open tomorrow, after their maintenance.

Nihilum's live raid stream, that was supposed to take place tomorrow, has been postponed because "we knew this could happen if we got a bit unlucky and... well… guess what? We got unlucky."
Now this does not reference the opening of the second gate explicitly. It was posted at 4:45 pm GMT +1, that's 10:45 am on the American East Coast. Were the realms already up at that time?
I'd be curious to know whether this was the cause for Nihilum postponing their live raid and if so, whether they could've know from someone in the US already.

Nessaj from Nihilum says in the comments to their initial announcement: "If the gate opens on the set date we will postpone the streaming."

There are only three gates. Gate 1 is in front of the Eredar Twins, Gate 2 is in front of M'uru, and Gate 3 separates the rest of the world from Kil'jaeden himself.
