    Nope, techincally speaking it is NOT a "world" first. To be "worldwide" you have to include everyone and claim you was the first. But if you exclude half the world (or so), you are still the first... of your half. That's all.

    No way this should be counted as a world first. Forget the EU servers, China doesn't even have WotLK! LOL this QQ is so awesome. Grats to them.

    OMG, extended again, tks blizzard, good management

    Don't think they're going to refund it. Would be a bit smarter to not try and squeeze the patch in such a small timeframe though. Patching has always been a problematic occasion for Blizzard.

    What would you do if you were Blizzard?

    I'd simply take the entire day and just refund it. It's proberably pretty expensive to get all their engineers to do overtime anyway. Plus you don't get angry customers (I bet they've had a few dozen angry calls already).

    Hmm

    Blizz extending already long maintenance when there was 24 hour one not so long ago - FAIL

    Premoniton downing h Halion on day one - grats to them but... PHAIL for music.

    Premoniton downing h Halion on day one, TWICE - FAIL again Blizzard.

    Cba about Blizz "giving" money to kids.

    To sum up, lots on fail in this news today.

    3/10

    Technically, it IS a world first. Life isn't fair, get over it. I don't care about "servers were down!" bullcrap. Either you acknowledge a World First when it occurs or you quit caring and only pay attention to each continent (which makes a helluva lot more sense anyways).

    Personally, I could care less about world rankings. What the crew in the EU is doing doesn't impact me in the least. Heck, I couldn't even tell you any major guilds over there outside of Ensidia (and that's only because of all the fanboys around).Frankly, I don't even care about NA rankings for that matter. The only NA guild I could name that's not on Detheroc or Executus is Premonition (once again, due to fanboys).

    Really, I don't even know why I visit the forums. All it is is flames and crying and hypocrisy.

    Ps. Another pet peeve, calling the North American servers "US" servers. I realize we're a big country and all but Canada is our partner in crime when it comes to WoW.
    "Could care less", I think you mean "Couldn't care less".

    So... the exact same thing happened with 3.3.5 in the US. so they should be aware of the problems they got and avoid extending the maintanance time after time.
    Have they no communications what so ever ?

    If a huge news came out now that blizzard used Child labour. it wouldnt surprise me one second
