i have taken a week off work, with intentions of playing a fair bit of WoW :(.

Been hovering all day, waiting for them to come back up. There are a few servers up now, but the queues are in 1000s.

Our server group is always either up 1st or last...takes a while to get the fire hot enough to create enough steam to power the network you know...

Wouldnt it be sweat if Bliz sent a mail like the following :

”Dear Mr/Mrs. Xxxx, due to serious problems with the latest patch – 1.12- we have been forced to roll back yesterdays work using restore. At that time we realized that our backupsystem was malfunctioning and we had to take a backup from 5 months ago.
We will try to do our best to give back everyone their equipment based on our redo-logs – but we cant be sure to satisfy everyone – which is why we have decided to give you all 2 days extra gameplay – and we have reset all chars to green items and 10g in the bank – that way it will be fair to all and no one will be treated better than others.
 
Regards
Blizzard – a.k.a. El Diablo”

He's not gone nutter, he works for Blizzard's Strategic Planning Department, it's a job requirement to think this way!

Hopefully the new hardware makes server side lag a thing of the past, now for me thats well worth a day (or even a week) of not playing wow, besides giving me a change to catch up to some other games i have been neglegting :tongue:
