It appears that hell has frozen over and the realms are coming back up early today. Now I have a wooden desk, so I'm just going to go ahead and knock on it very loudly./knock /knock /knock
Okay, now that that's out of the way and my cat ran into the other room scared...
There is a small patch you'll need to download. We're working on getting mirrors up for it right now. In addition, we're not really sure of everything that was patched. There were some brief comments by Ghostcrawler last night outlining a few things (Hunter aspects, Ritual of Summoning, and Howling Blast), but that's it.
Update: The cat has returned. All is well.

What, your hall never freezes over? I guess you're one of those people that closes the front door on cold and windy days. Well it's about time you Door Closers stopped discriminating against those among us that leave the doors open, whether in an attempt to keep the yard warm, or as an alternative to owning a refrigerator.

I guess we're back to hell now.

Woot for servers blizzard takes care of!!!
However, my server - blackwing lair, is 99.9% of the time down longer than many others. On patch 3.08 the glorious message of "ALL realms are available to play" came 45minutes before Blackwing Lair came back online.
Ticked me off, using a definitive like that, if you say ALL, all servers better be up....

99.9% of people who think their server is the one with the most downtime are 99.9% wrong 100% of the time.

Yes, but is your pet's Cower autocast still on?

my cat stays away during down time, she usually shows up and has to lay on the keyboard during boss fights.

Mine's not up yet :(
kinda disappointed in em; they were going a good month without extended maintenance and they failed horribly the last few weeks. im still waiting for a GM to contact me about missing things.

so any confirmation that howling blast was actually fixed or not yet?
Awesome McAwesome Jan 27th 2009 1:03PM
Yeah. This rules. Now we get to realize that Ritual of Summoning still isn't fixed.

I went and checked my server and Gnomeregan was one of the early risers.
I got my Higher Learning achievement too, as I camped the last book before I logged out and it wasn't a placeholder for a change.

Okay well glad to hear some realms came back up early. But i have to love "It appears that hell has frozen over and the realms are coming back up early today. Now I have a wooden desk, so I'm just going to go ahead and knock on it very loudly." But what made me laugh was " Okay, now that that's out of the way and my cat ran into the other room scared...". Just had to belly laugh at the comment. Too funny.
