Servers starting to come back online
Oct 14th, 2008
The realms coming up will also give us a chance to sort out the saga of the patch notes, and figure out what exactly is being included in this patch in the way of class changes. Is your realm up yet? What are you going to do first when it is?
Update: Blizzard is now saying it might take until 3 PM PST/6 PM EST 4:30 PM PST/7:30 PM EST 6 PM PST/9 PM EST for all the realms to be up.
Patch 3.0.2 "Echoes of Doom" has landed and WoW Insider has you covered. From patch notes to talent guides for every class to fixing your addons to 5 easy achievements you can snag right now. Make sure to check out the latest news.Recent Posts

My server's not up yet but the first thing I'm doing is posting all my herbs to the AH. Then I'm taking a nap. I'm tired

I'm sitting at 20% install complete hoping it finishes quickly. Can't wait to see how it shapes up.

uuuuuum Has anyone noticed the death knight slot on the create-a-character thing? I don't have a 55 character soooooo I"m really sure if it's functional or not.

Albert said...
silly me, i forgot this is a pre-wrath patch and it's probably not functional at all. When the pre-BC patch released, they did the same thing with Draenei and Belfs, so I guess it's just there to torture us....grrrreeeat

Seriously, Vlad, are you dumb? Or just so full of self loathing you have to bash this site every chance you can get?

They really need to take the "faded" text another step down. If faded text continues to get voted down, it ought to "collapse" to just a single line you'd have to click on to see. Trolls/malcontents like Vlad should get as little satisfaction as possible...

My realm is up. I think the first thing I'll do is look at the 'Retrieving Characters' dialogue for twenty or thirty minutes.
There is a nice new WotLK login screen, though.

Prepare for a long wait, even if your realm is up. Tried logging onto one of my characters, and sat at "Walking your character from china" prompt for 5 minutes before I canceled.

Stuck at "Retrieving character list," anyone? Oh god, the suspense is killing me. I need to get my hunter out to places to tame pets and I need to play evil with my warlock and mage.
