LOL argo those are only for dungeons. you've got a long ways before you use that feature.
 
I've been observing times when I would like to use a meeting stone for about a week now. In most cases they seem to be a good idea (deadmines, uldaman, zul'farrak, maraudon). But in some cases having the meeting stone at the dungeon is really going to make things worse, not better. For example, scarlett monestary for the alliance. There's basically nothing to do there while you wait. Which means that people are still likely to hang around southshore or arathi looking for a group for SM rather than wait there and hope. Which means it will be harder to find groups in both places.

Still, I'm looking forward to trying it out.

So if dire maul is 56-60 should we assume it's really 60?

I thought places like stocades/deadmines are considered dungeons.

So I should be good to go then. I'm lvl 21. I already finished deadmines and should be able to go for stocades in a couple of lvls.

They seem to have forgotton the promised ENTIRE PVP SYSTEM.

Im saying cancelled 🙁

Dude, these are coming later. They are keeping us informed of several activities they are working on, including honor system, battlegrounds, etc...

My guess is the next patch will be more class tweaks and bug fixes and maybe honor system, with battlegrounds following.

They have said future patches will come with more regularity, and this is one case where I believe them.

Heh, mine downloaded from the blizzard downloader in only 20 minutes or so. It downloaded while I slept, so who cares (yes I was up that late playing WoW, and yes, I'm at work today... 4 hours sleep FTW!)
 
Argggh my server STILL isnt up 🙁.

What's going on? I know they added an extra 90 minutes to the maintenance time, but it's been quite a while longer and the website also seems to be down. Can anyone see Bleeding Hollow on their realmlist?

I was surprised as hell lastnight at getting horde groups together for both Shadowfang AND Blackfathom in the same night.

Not only that, they were reasonably competant pickup groups except for one guildie in my SFK group (very competant) and one hunter in my Blackfathom group (CLUELESS).

The Hunter was the most clueless I've seen, as he:
- Ran out of ammo less than 1/4th through
- When someone gave him ammo for his gun he refused to use his gun because he wanted to use the bow he picked up in the instance earlier (so he used his 2H weapon instead?)
- Rolled on EVERYTHING and complained on every "role" he didn't win
- Couldn't control his pet (but to his credit, when he realized he was too inept to control his pet, he dismissed it)

Anyway, we'll see how meeting stones are hopefully they'll help, though I was hoping for more of a chackbox so people could look me up on a list of 'people who want to go into instance XYZ' or I can look up other people. That way I could be listed on both Shadowfang and Blackfathom, and quest in the meantime.

Burning Legion still down too. 🙁
 
Just posted on the Realm Status forum about 2 minutes ago.

The maintenance is now complete. All realms are in the process of being brought back online. They should all be online within the next hour.

We apologize for the extended maintenance and thank you for your patience.
