The Havoc Before the Storm

Apparently when the servers came down for maintenance today the hamsters decided to chew through the wires headed to the mail server. Here’s a blue recap of todays maintenance madness. I’m at work so I have no clue if the servers are back or if so what the in-game mail from Blizzard said.

Before I even published this post, Zaryhm just updated the status of the servers and in-game mail:

{{[templatediaencoded]774048393.4c81446d307c64.32438688[/templatediaencoded]}}

Another weird blue post today stated that WotLK content would be up and available at 2100 PST (9 P.M.). You can also download the client now, and from other posts over at Wowinsider it’s known that you can also buy the game early. It’s also known that you can upgrade you account as well.

Here is the link to upgrade your account: US and EU.

And here are the client download links: US (EU doesn’t appear to be available yet)

So, if I haven’t made a mess of this, you can:

Upgrade your account.
Download the client.
Get your hands on a early game release for the key code.
Wait till 2100 PST and play WotLK.

Lets not forget that since they have been on line some servers are encountering free season 2 gear and Free hunters weapon. The S2 gear that is free on my server is the Priest warlock and Shammy.

Ya its the same on Velen so i assume all servers are having the same issue. Most likely a roll back will happen pissing off 90% of the locks and priests on all servers.

Well with emergancy downtime they are deleting all those “free” epics people bought, I hope you all didn’t delete your old gear when getting the free epics.
