  1. Interesting about Nightbane — we ran Kara this weekend and Nightbane kept kicking our butts and Charred Earth seemed to be the big factor.

    Also…so SICK of having to reset all my chat settings every login.

    I really hope they fix that bug tomorrow.

    As annoyed as I am I’ve heard that patches used to be MUCH much worse — like constant server crashes for days (or weeks, or..or..). So at least they’re getting better, right? Right??

  2. Actually yeah they are getting better. Around patch 1.5 and 1.9 the game would pretty much be down from Monday night to early AM Thursday morning. Those were the dark ages when we would get credited back a day of gameplay on the creditcard…

  3. I’m pretty new to WoW — my first patch experience was 2.3 (after the initial install and updates). I shudder to think how bad it must have been before.

  4. There were roughly 2 years worth of memories that make up my mind with WOW but I’m glad that there are still newer players getting into this because it seems the game is going to keep rolling and more opportunities for memories are bound to pop up.
