The Oceanic realms are up, Cenarion Circle still isn't though. I popped on to one and created a character. I updated all my addons, they were supposed to 3.0 ready but aren't. Guess I will just have to wait for them.

I have all of it installed however once i select my character i cannot get into the game it will bring up the loading screen and go through the whole loading portion and then just sit there.

Man.. people really act as if the things that are happening didn't happen with previous patches.

I don't have a problem with waiting, I know these things will happen. I'm just posting as to update others trying to get in so they don't freak out and think something is wrong.

They are ****ing me off. Said 3pm PDT, so i went ate dinner, came back at 7pm EST and my servers are down and half the ones listed are offline.

While yeah sometimes this happens with other patches, its normally not quite to this extent. They even took their forums offline and the realmstatus page.

A realm i haven't played on for awhile is up, and i have some lowbie horde characters there. There are all kinds of level 1s popping in to check out the patch changes. It is hard for me to see much considering all i have are lowbies to play around with. The graphics look better. Shadow detail is kinda nice. Some of the spell effects are different. The ping meter is missing, but you now get the information from hovering your mouse over the "Game Menu" button. There is now an integrated Calendar feature that may be interesting. Reminds me of GroupCalendar.

The game automatically disabled all of my addons as "out-of-date." I'm probably going to uninstall them all and wait for the authors to release 3.0 compatible versions.

Main realm (US Elune) is still down :(. Grrrr.....

This is a major patch compared to others. Yes the extra downtime sucks but it will be worth the wait. Hopefully, I know unlikely, Blizzard my compensate us for the extended down time.

    • Too soon, I'm still not over this death!
    • Normally, I admit when a title is clickbait (unfortunately, it's become somewhat necessary in AI-dominated news sections today), but in this case, all supported versions is implied and doesn't need to be spelled out in the title. Of course, I'm covering a Patch Tuesday update but that is only available to supported Windows SKUs. All our coverage relates to supported Windows software and SKUs only unless we expressly state that it's "unsupported", "unofficial", or "third-party". I'm sorry, but supported/official SKUs don't need to be spelled out as such in every Neowin headline.
    • ALL versions or ALL SUPPORTED versions? Neowin does it again.
    • But the reality is it will work for people's needs, and they don't care about the technology that makes it. Clearly not everyone's needs, but that low end space where personal laptops were only used to type emails, watch content and browse websites, but they didn't want to do that on a small screen device. Heck, writing that out I can now see the connection and reason it'll do so well. Apple is about experience. If the experience is bad, they don't release it. Low end Windows laptop manufacturers up until this point have not taken that into consideration ever before, so slow laggy usage with brittle slimey plastic shells were common. I hope that the low end space at least creates better physical products that last a bit longer, and if Microsoft get their act together, they could also have a solid OS on such low end hardware that would actually make the experience work for what the hardware was intended for. The fact that the CPU is a "cellphone", sorry mobile phone processor is irrelevant. It's about the experience, and so far, that sounds quite solid.
