Is Wrath of the Lich King really going to be delayed?
Sure, you can download the client now - and get the key on the 13th. But with the recent 3-day credit, and Blizzard Phone Support hinting at perhaps more credits to come, could Wrath of the Lich King be delayed on the live servers? So far, the evidence is pointing to YES.
As of this point, the realms are offline as well as the WoW forums. As well, a 3-day credit has been posted to ALL ACTIVE WOW Accounts.
Will keep updating!
8:40 PM, PST: The WoW forums just came back online by storm! Will keep you posted throughout tomorrow.
8:42 PM, PST: My last post for tonight - the WoW forums are sporadically crashing and coming back up, and thread / post losses HAVE been reported! As well, various realms have started popping back up, could this be the end of the crash-crisis? Seemingly not, as just as quick as they pop up and then get overfilled and queued up, they go down again and different ones pop up. Blizzard could be testing something.
8:47 PM, PST: Yes, one final post - the realms are all steadily coming back on now. The realms have not been offline 3 days, but yet, the credit stays. perhaps a gift from the Blizzard gods? Or do they expect more delays? Find out tomorrow!
