WoW: They heard we were coming and baked a cake
Mike and I joined WoW early. We stood around IronForge talking, using Roger Wilco, and waiting for Mark. I thought I saw a message saying Mark had connected, but we were disconnected to the “Loading Characters” select screen, which took a good while. It was even longer getting back into game. It looked like everybody got booted. Mark showed up and we decided on Blackrock Depths.
There was a large group of players around the Griffon Master. Too many to find him until we realized why the large group, the Griffon Master wasn’t there. No NPCs were in IronForge. Eventualy, we decided to run to Blackrock Depths for something to do. There were no mobs in the zones we passed until we reached the instance, which was fully populated.
Just as we entered the instance, they messaged the server was going to be restarted in 15 minutes. We worked for 13 then camped inside. It was 10 minutes before we could get back. We found ourselves in different instances, solved by exiting and re-entering.
Nothing special to report with the instance except I thought Mike and I using voice-chat helped. Hopefully, we’ll have Mark using soon.
