I thought the reason that RS was delayed was cause you wanted everyone to have it at the same time?

What so the 20+ servers that went down today don't count? That's kind of messed up blizzard.

There seems to be some confusion over that. The delay was originally intended to make sure that the patch process was as smooth as possible for all regions. Not necessarily so it was released in all regions simultaneously.

This is a message originally posted by one of our Community Managers Zarhym.
Q u o t e:


Actually, they said that it would be up one week after 3.3.5 was deployed on US servers. Today is the one week mark.

Q u o t e:
Due to the fact that we will be delaying the release of patch 3.3.5 in Europe, Korea and Taiwan in order to ensure the patch process in all regions is as smooth as possible, the Ruby Sanctum will not immediately be available on North American realms upon the release of the patch. Once patch 3.3.5 has been released in North America and we are confident about a time when we can open up Ruby Sanctum, we will provide an update here on the forums.

Q u o t e:
Please note due to the way this patch is being applied in all regions, this dungeon will not immediately be available in North America. Stay tuned to our General Discussion forum for an official announcement on the opening of Ruby Sanctum.


That is the official information we released about the opening of Ruby Sanctum.

Q u o t e:
Too many spelling errors and too frustrated. Sometimes a clean start is a better way to do things. Yes I know I can edit. I just wish there was a spell check in the forums.


Depending on your browser, there can be. :)
Q u o t e:

Instead of a "Woops we blew it" , we get snotty comments about how we didn't understand. Maybe my bank and I can come to a better understanding about my subscription.

Those aren't comments I would be able to make, Badpenny. This forum is moderated by members of the In-Game Support staff. We are not developers nor liaisons with them.

People are making claims that the release of the Ruby Sanctum was delayed so everyone could go for the world first at the same time, in the interest of "fairness". The statements posted by members of our Community Management team talk about delaying the release so as to make sure that the patch process goes smoothly for all regions and to make sure that the instance is released around the same time throughout all regions.

To be completely honest all of the threads regarding the Ruby Sanctum could simply have been moved to the General of Suggestion forum but we wanted to try and provide some clarification when we could. Which is why I quoted Zarhym's post.

If you wish to provide feedback regarding developmental decisions you are welcome to post in the Suggestion forum where our Community Managers and Developers can review your thoughts.
