Well, technically our first two forays but Wednesday was, well, patch day. Advantages to patching a day later my ass.

It has something to do with the fact that you won’t recognize it if you can log in and play. :-)

But I wouldn’t like it if we would lag behind by more than one day. Like getting the patch on Friday like it was the first year. And then not getting the important hotfixes during the weekend. That sucked. They learned. :-)

But, of course, I don’t check on US patch day during rush hours. :-)

Curse never ever has a problem on EU patch day during rush hour. Make that point 6 , spinks. :-)

Europe is 5+ hours ahead of the US anyway, so by the time the US realms are back up, it’s pretty late night in Europe so I wouldn’t be playing anyway if it was simultaneously patched.

By the time I get home from work today everything should be up and running!

Except Eonar is on the extended maintenance (funny how it’s always Misery battlegroup!)

I’m happy getting my patch the day after, with more updated addons and any urgent bugs already hotfixed.)

I am so excited about this patch that I’d be nerdraging hardcore if I had to wait longer. :P

Curse, WowInterface et al are always killed on patch days, one of the reasons our raids fail on patch days is that one or more of our add ons break catastrophically (Especially if it’s DBM or Big Wigs, or any kind of power-bar mods)
But we can’t blame the game maker for 3rd party addon failure can we? :)
