Pesky Decimal Points

Here’s a fun World of Warcraft miscalculation: the European servers passed out netherdrakes and Gladiator titles to arena team members without regard to rank or activity. Good luck tracking down that bug, the anecdotal evidence is all over the place on who got free stuffs and why. (Some Euro server threads if you’re into math mysteries: The 0.5% braket for Gladiator became 50%, Season end – Rewards and Ranks totally messed, and, Why did i and many others get a Drake + gladiator?)

Related? Rolling Restarts 6/21/07:

We will be issuing rolling restarts at 5:00 a.m. PDT for all realms to implement a fix for Arena points. We anticipate each realm to be down for approximately 15 minutes once their restart begins.

Man. I never get to enjoy fun bugs. I only get the crap where I accidentally sell off rare, legendary class items then get disco’d from the game, roasting my buyback log. True story — still pissed about that one.

Ding dong, Serpentshrine and Tempest Keep (World of Warcraft) attunements are dead!

Read: Serpentshrine and TK Attunements Lifted.

After a lot of thought and deliberation, we’ve decided to remove the attunement requirements to enter Serpentshrine Cavern and Tempest Keep: The Eye. While many of our attunements in the Burning Crusade have been good progression checks, a few of the attunements have turned out to cause unnecessary stress on guilds either doing the content or attempting to do the content. With Black Temple and Battle for Mount Hyjal thriving, we want to encourage (rather than prevent) new guilds and raid groups to attempt Serpentshrine and TK. We are going to leave the current attunement quests in the game so that players can still engage in the challenge and the lore of those quests should they choose to. At a later point, we are considering adding a final reward step to those quests as well (that way those who have already completed them would not miss out on a *new* reward).

We’re listening to feedback from you guys constantly and your opinions are important to us. We want this game to be the best possible MMO experience for our players.

Enjoy Serpentshrine and Tempest Keep =)

(Please note: This change will go live later today — it’s not yet active)

You may attempt to revive your guilds now.
