Belfaire, my most favourite talbuk, could you update the first page with the list of realms afflicted? ^_^


I did, many minutes ago.

Pah. I'm terrible at forums some days. Today, I forgot to take the packet of cheese powder out of the box before pouring the macaroni into boiling water. It's one of those days for me, heh.

Thanks, though, Belfy.

Belfaire, you rock. Thank you.

How fast does Realm Status get updated in cases like this? Our guild went there first, and nothing...


Depends on a lot of things. Sometimes we get a post there first, sometimes we get a post here first, sometimes we get a fairly immediate fix so the former is unnecessary.

Hey, this thread isn't titled "Multiboxing Complaints 8/26"!

I know it's rough, but let's stay on topic.

Q u o t e:
Ok, really, does Blizzard usually have this many problems with servers? I've been playing fo about a week, and all I've seen is server problems, errors, server maintenance, and more sever problems. Did I just come into the game at a bad time, or is it usually this bad? I don't wanna pay a monthly subsrcription for something I can't play.


You have a gift for hyperbole, my good man.

Indeed. If you just downed a boss, two possibilities:

1. When servers come back up, they'll still be there.
2. When servers come back up, they'll be dead.

If 1, go kill 'em again!

If 2, feel free to petition to have your loot figured out.
