Greetings all!

Alpha realms just came down for a new build. No ETA for this one but I'll bump this thread as they start to come up. I'll leave this thread open for discussion so long as conversations remain civil and adhere to forum guidelines.

Thanks everyone!

so excited for a second blue post and there's no eta update, i cried


Trolling aside, It's actually really challenging to provide accurate ETAs for PTR/Alpha/Beta deploys. Very small, very random things can hold up things for minutes sometimes, or hours other times.

That's not even counting really weird things like during Warlords Beta when I said "well nothing's on fire yet" and then a power station literally exploded and caught on fire.

I feel kinda terrible for thinking it was kind of amusing at the time


It wasn't even a phrase I used often! That was like the first time I'd used it, I specifically remember being reluctant to say "maybe an hour left?" because I was uncertain when realms would come online, so the most I wanted to commit to was "things are on track".

Maybe it's a good thing I didn't say that or a train would derail?

I'm just going to stop talking now.

Unmanned train spontaneously derails and crashes into a server hosting building for mega game giant.

No one was physically injured. Psychological damage expected.
