    Oh boy, a world first that was done in less than a day. The encounter is ridiculously straight forward, no one will care about this kill after a couple days -_-

    let me clarify it for you, EU servers have their normal maintenance because of the patch so they are down (isn't Wednesday maintenance for EU anyway?) 40 US servers have been down since maintenance was over that more than 24 hours of downtime.
    who is the 2 digits IQ person now?

    And what does that have to do with anything? US servers are online hence the kill and my point was, when US servers are up and EU are down are people surprised who got the first kill? try using your brain and I'm sure you will understand what I meant, I didn't mention any metric shit, but the fact is, US servers are up EU servers are down, does your IQ even hit 2 digits?

    Rofl... Blizz could just have given the charity a million or two... Not like 0,1% of yearly profit kills them.

    Aye that's my thoughts, they are making a dinner charging people $500 to give to a charity when they make millions year in year out, how is that charity? charity is Blizzard handing over money not taking it from people to hand over.

    Premonition killed LK25HM, they have the best items in game. Did you really think that this 1 dragon will stay for months??
    Is that the only argument you people can come up with? Give it a rest will you.

    well ya I find it kinda lame.. 200 tickets for 500 each? how much is that.. erm.. 100,000$ and I am sure they won't give much more then that but they will give it under Blizzard's name and make then look good and nice, while I am pretty sure they won't mention that they took money from some kind of dinner where ppl can meet there developers.. sorry but I can't see it worth to eat with some of them for 500, I better give my own 500$ to an hospital or so where I am 100% sure they will need it more.

    Europeans, the US 3.3.5 Patch took 19 hours and 30 minutes. I don't know what hour you're on but apparently Blizzard didn't learn anything from extending our maintenance for 9 hours. You're in for a long night of maintenance guys

    Somewhat good publicity, with somewhat minimal expenses.

    I´m not being negative, and yes I am glad that the children atleast get "something".

    But what Blizzard is doing, is nothing directly profitable with money, but good publicity is very important too in nowdays society.

    I'm hoping the extended maintenance is to fix Ravencrest, for the last 3 months it's been down at least 1 month effective time. Ridiculous!

    Big gz to Premo on their kill.
    I have just one curiosity. If you noticed between about 3:30 and 4:12 the addon that announces what happens in the raid is blurred out. I'm just wondering why they would do that.

    Worst thing is maintenance extension is during the day for us, not night.

    So....does anyone realize that this is just an extra raid to introduce the cata storyline? Also notice that in the screenshot that some Server First: RS didn't pop up for them at all? And also realize Premonition is an amazingly good guild. While RS is an amazing good instance....if blizzard didn't dignify it with a server first achievement...why is everyone QQing about it being a world first?

    BTW grats Premo
