Breakfast Topic: Competition Over!

Another Tuesday, another maintenance day, and
today's brings with it an end to the Public Test Realm
contests as well as patch 1.10. For the last
few weeks players have been frantically levelling, grinding, and PvPing in their quest to be in the top 1000. Did you take part, and how did it go?
I popped on to the Honor Contest EU realm last night to gauge the atmosphere and I was surprised at how few players were online. When I visited, only one battleground was open, which makes me wonder if Blizzard will even find the 1000 players they need for their prizes. However, that puts anyone who created a character on the realm in with a good chance. Some players were definitely nervous, boasting about their amount of honour without explicitly detailing their achievements.
I didn't get a chance to check out the other two contest realms; have you been watching the competitions unfold? Do you think you will win a spot in the Burning Crusade beta?

The US Test Realm server was pretty backed up on some days. Some of my guildies were doing the contest, and it reached up to a 3,500 person wait line. Lots of people wanting to get that spot in the US it seems :)

I was doing the Honor Contest, and it never seemed to have that many people. I hit level 19 on the first Sunday of the competition and I never saw more than a few hundred people online at a time (on the Horde side). But last I was able to log in, there were about 5 or 6 BGs going at a time. So some people definitely racked up a lot of honor. Over 1000 people? I really don't know.
