    That's... the chat-window...

    Seriously, an add-on? O.O The probably just blurred it because they don't wany people to be reading their chat/the guy who filmed this doesn't want anyone seeing any personal stuff like friends coming online, whispers coming in etc.

    inb4 "no one cares about his friends/whispers": you + everyone else =/= the guy who filmed this.

    Most likely to block out private whispers, or guild / officer chat.

    Pleasing as much as possible? With allr over 80 % of the player base not content, even if servers are still offline?

    Making millions of dollars... ye, im sure they did that once.. and maybe still now, by milking this game to the max with

    all these stupid pets / mounts / char possibilities. As said, wow is dying... milking it to the next big MMO

    So ye... blizz, u fail... or do i actualy fail for still paying ur sorry ass for extended maintenances and shitty new content.

    Is this realy the best you can come up with....

    It's a filler raid, it's not meant as progression or anything amazing. Filler raid.

    WoW is not dying. Before both other expansions the game goes stale and people feel bored about it, plus it's in the middle of summer right now so less people play.

    Stop your ridiculous doomsaying, we've all heard it before and it's not right this time either.

    The reason the maintenance was extended, as far as I can imagine, is not because of the new in-game content, but because of Bnet 2.0, something you seem to have no clue about.

    So yeah, you're just another nitwit without a clue, thinking you know it all.

    inb4 extended to 18:00, then to 20:00 then to 02:00 then to 06:00 (so the techs can relax and sleep), then to 12:00 and we'll be online.

    It's funny cause their MT clicks half his skills . At least I know now why they couldn't even kill LK 25 man Normal and needed to cheat their way to hardmode.
    Anyway , THANKS BLIZZARD for the 18 hours+maintenance . Now all the US scrubs will claim the first 500 kills or whatever ( seeing that even this clicker can kill him , I estimate around 500+kills on HM till EU servers are back or US fails again). Can't wait for Star Wars MMO to kill this shit

    And than we will get apologies for not announced(but planned!) 24h maintenance on all EU servers at once...

    "The maintenance has been extended for all realms until 16:00, Paris time. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your patience while this is being resolved."
    Just, WHY? the 3,3,5 has been on the US for 1 week now, why didint they just release it on EU already if there is nothing wrong?

    Congrats, to the world first. I think it really will be awhile before other people manage to clear it. My server's top guild can't even field 25 players right now. Perhaps the server is dieing. Perhaps the game is dieing. However, its quite obvious Blizzard feels the need to focus on 10 man in Cataclysm simply because 25 man doesn't even happen on many servers anymore because no one even bothers to show up.

    I wouldn't even say that. Vanilla was, overall, much easier than the expensions (in terms of tuning) and pre-nerf BC content is not too different from WOTLK-hardmodes.

    OMG EU SERVZR STILL DO-
    ...
    Lulz, people actually react like this? For a reskinned Sartharion with a binary hardmode?

    I'm just happy I've taken a break until the shitstorm known as WotLK (except Sartharion, Ulduar and as the lore and encounter mechanics in ICC) is over.
    (Not included in ICC liking: Difficulty tuning, Binary hardmodes, Hardmodes after defeating LK, TERRIBLE voice actors >_>, being expected to grind the same f:ing content for ten months until Cataclysm hits.)

    Welcome to the issue that happens to WOW during summer every year. Nothing new really.

    I'm surprised Boub even acknowledged a World first kill when half the servers were down.

    Oh, and wtf is up with that retarded music in the video? Promonition has to be trolling with that video.

    Not a true world first, too many servers (US included) were down.
