Eager but offline

Sadly, as is per usual after big patches like this one, most of the WoW realms are down. Those that are not down are currently being battered, figuratively speaking (queues are growing long). As for the patch notes, I did hope to have them down here, but seeing the official site is also down, kind of ruins that a bit. 25 of the realms have been listed as going to be having some more maintenance, so will not be available until 19.00 (game time)… including Arathor. So there goes my plans of battlegrounds…

Quite a few new changes, which is welcome but slightly confusing for some, apparently. Under this new system of LFG/LFM, there’s no relevant channel for it now, and yet, you find quite a few people in general chat/guild recruitment advertising their wares. So until that calms down a bit, we’re in for another of those irritating times when we’re forced to remove ourselves from the entire chat system. Oh, and when you try and join an instance queue, you may just end up not being in a group at all (like the times you may have used the meeting stones). Seriously, saying ‘hi’ then leaving? Why did you flipping join the instance queue in the first place? Or maybe it’s the weird people on those servers I’m on…
