I’ve watched many, many hours of this drug-like game and can half understand your level of addiction. However, it is only a game. Witnessing a “first” is not the end of the world, a digital world at that! You should all take a vacation and chill.

I found it quite funny 🙂

Please keep up coverage of events if possible.

thanks.

enjoy going through life not being accountable for being an ass.

You are right about this much — I do not care. I was there to get a story: the mass influx of tourist alts to witness Medivh’s AQ War Effort completion, what the GMs and Blizzard would do, what the residents would do and what the tourists would do. I even took various measures to ensure that I would get the story because I could tell, it was gonna be good.

I don’t care about the one guy that was in a queue because I was online. I don’t care about the dialup people that lagged because my cow reporter was visible on their screen. I was there to get and I got.

The next time there’s a freakish gathering on a server, I’ll probably be there too. And I’ll take similar measures to ensure that I’m there to get. I won’t care about Jimmy in the login queue and I won’t care about Sally on dialup.

But I do so enjoy real life crusaders, who weren’t there, that try to lecture me about griefing and server performance at a public online event in a public area. Now that shit gives me wood.

This is the kind of crack reporting work that keeps me coming back here day after day, and I would expect nothing less from the staff at AFKGamer. Hundreds if not thousands of people flooded the Medivh server to get in on the hysteria surrounding the first server to open the gates. At least Foton took the time to document the happenings on the server, and was able to provide his readers with an entertaining account of what went down.

Coming here and acting like he’s responsible for the decline of western civilization because he joined the hunderds of other people who flooded Medivh is retarded, and in fact, the only reason I didn’t try to make a character there and check it out for myself is because I read about what was happening here and knew that I didn’t have to. I wouldn’t be suprised if the posts on this blog actually saved you guys a few queue spots. And regardless of what you say, Blizzard was only entity in a position to do anything about it and of course they dropped the ball. I know you can’t stand to hear that, but they are the one’s who fucked up, the author of this blog.

People on Warsong have been bitching about the same exact god damn thing since battlegrounds came out, we’ve been dealing with the shit that Medivh put up with for a few days for over half a year, and every time we bitch people tell us to STFU.

Welcome to the internet, cry more.

bottom line is you knew people that had worked for this would be affected in a negative way by your actions, and you chose to do so in spite of that.

i am NOT from that server, i just had to post based on my general disgust.

It’s fairly obvious that EVERY person who created an alt KNEW THIS. And THEY KNEW they were putting people who had worked on the event into the queues. We asked on the forums for people to refrain from creating alts. They didn’t. We asked them in game to refrain. They didn’t. GMs ported people. They came back.

Even if they weren’t trying to crash the servers, they were preventing people from orchestrating the event from getting onto the realm. Medivhians had queues upwards of 2 hours. Some who had spent hundreds of hours moving materials from one side to another never got to see the end. Why should your “peoplewatching” prevent those who actually worked from seeing the end result?

Look, we wanted everyone in Wow to see the results, but that just isn’t possible. In lieu of this we’re offering screenshots, videos, etc. Respect our requests to stay off our realm so the people who worked hard to get here can actually see the finale.
