    What?

    The UK is part of the EU since 1979.
    Not having the euro as currency does not equal not being part of the EU....

    Do they teach these kids nothing in school nowadays or what?

    Coz this is indeed all about WF.. im paying to this game every single month for 5 years and im sick and tired of these damn patches, like in vanilla, patch 2.0 was scedueled as this one, but took an additional 48 hours for some servers... I cannot help but feeling like my monthly fee is somewhat wasted here, waiting for blizzard to sort a 1BOSS patch out, that is spose to keep us entertained for another 5 months, for them to finish Cataclysm. They rly thought they would have us going for almost a year with that ICC patch.. they discovered in febuaru/march that it wasent enough and rushed this shitty shitty Bang Bang, boss together.. tell me again.. Is this all about WF?

    I feel happy for US to finally get an First Kill, grats to them.
    I wonder why.


    Kinda lame that Blizzard waited with the release of RS for fairness and then extend the European maintenance into oblivion while they open RS for Americans. It removes the entire point of making Americans wait.

    You can negate Halion's signature moves (Fiery Combustion / Soul Combustion) by using a shaman's Grounding Totem. And did it!

    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
    Wow... someones madbro.

    Starwars mmo is going to kill wow! Just like Warhammer was! oh oh and Aion killed wow too! Star wars will kill wow just like those ones did... IE not at all.

    Our normal maintenance was 16+ hours yesterday and half the US realms were down for 24+ hours for "cataclysm upgrades" Clearly it is no difference for you. Blizz should have just released RS when they gave us 3.3.5 so all the "US >EU!" "NO! EU > US!" nerdrage would be done by now.

    So are you saying the moment EU servers come up this is a world first OR are you saying "oh all the US guys are saved?! awesome now well go get our world first! Because they can't compete!"

    Don't you people get that Blizzard doesn't recognize world firsts? for a very good reason? "World firsts" are something players/fans made up.

    Are they the first people in the world to down RS on hard mode on live servers?

    Yes. World first, stop making shit up.

    No seriously, you guys knew it was coming, look at what happened to US realms a week ago. Why are you guys all nerdraging about this?

    Shit. Happens.

    If youa re talking about "World firsts" remember they dont exsist, blizzard does not support them in anyway for a good reason. its something fans/players made up. Blizzard is not going to accommodate something they do not support!

    Personally I made up world first naked keyboard cat kills! You must down 25 man hard modes while wearing no clothing type gear with your cat on your keyboard! Blizzard must support this by giving us weapons/shields/trinkets with 10 times the stats to make up for it! They must support it!

    The EU consistently gets World firsts whenever there's honest competition.

    This is bullshit.
    GRATS! huge grats for a world first in the united states!!

    good job guys
