Like many, we voces are now staring at the new loading screen for World of Warcraft as The Shattering—the sundering of the land under Deathwing’s wrath as he tears Azeroth a new one–runs its course over the severs. The opening cinematic plays with a thunderous roar and our favorite black dragon grumbles and complains morbidly in a voice that is pure Metal.
So, what can we say, epic iron-jawed dragon is epic. We’ll be around shortly for more news on how The Shattering has affected the land; however, we suspect at first there will be a great deal of server instability as players pour through the newly opened gates in order to run around to look at what catastrophe hath wrought.
Update: As everyone can see looking at the screenshot, the maintenance time has been extended from 11am PST to 1pm PST. We’ll be back as soon as the servers come up again and we can get in.
Another update: Maintenance extended again to 5pm PST.
Oh, my precious servers, whatever shall I do whilst I await them.
Oh right, I’ll do school work — because I won’t be catching up on any of that for a while…
Man I wish I could play. Metal dragon is Epicness.
