Great update Kensik!!

I wonder if Tuesday will be the day? Also, I'm guessing servers won't be up right away. What is the chance Blizzard's patch actually goes smoothly? I put it between 0% and 1%.

They get better and better at it each time. Think about what updates were like years ago.

By the way, what is the chance you finally come on over to Blackrock?

0% - 1%, pretty optimistic aren't we? Almost like saying we got a "33.69% chance, repeating of course," of the servers coming up early for once...
