I know, isn't the fluffy squirrel delicious! *licks lips*

If I said it was a new build, how long do you reckon it'd take before someone posts a new thread saying they found out a new build was coming from reading a fansite, as though the news hadn't come from this thread here in the EU? :P

Q u o t e:
well, does this mean it's really 4 hours or more? or can it also be done faster? if it's just luck:P
Something more akin to luck.

As it says, it's potentially 4 to 6 but yes it could be even faster than that. Not very keen on raising hopes, as I very much hate seeing them dashed.

Re: 10/07 PTR Maintenance
I'd love to say it was a new build, but when we do give out world first information here in the EU, we hardly ever get the credit and some keep on believing we never give new information until our colleagues in the US have. Yes, yes, crocolisk QQ! ;-)

Q u o t e:
u can't have nice things.
Turns out you can!

Yes we intend to launch a new build: #10083.

Adya, start your stop watch. How long till it appears on a fansite? How long till someone posts this fansite's news on the forum as "brand new" news, apparently not released right here in the EU in this post? ;-)

Re: 10/07 PTR Maintenance

Q u o t e:
wryxian maybe you should complain to the head people in the US that you feel left out in getting new information and you may get the sympathy vote and give you the information first if your lucky
I'm only teasing. We're a global company and we get the news the same time the world over. Sometimes though, it occurs overnight when we are unable to share it easily.

That's an auto-tracker though. Still the usual suspects haven't posted it in their newsfeeds. Tsk.

No, it's not an auto-tracker, I did it completely manually :(
Ahh sorry, I got confused thinking the link I quoted (which didn't work for me) was pointing to your bluetracker. Friends again? :-)

Is a pony for your Argent Tournament squire enough? ;-)

Q u o t e:
Sure :) And I'll look into why the link didn't work for you, thanks for the feedback!
I made a mistake, thinking you were trying to link to: http://www.wowraid.com/tracker/d:Wryxian and that somehow some of the characters had come out as spaces. Anyhow, moving on...

WoW.com link: http://www.wow.com/2009/07/10/new-patch-3-2-ptr-build-10083-tonight/

Now I feel like a muppet :-)

By the way... I come from one of those "colonies" myself. Yes, I am only posing as a European posing as a crocolisk.

Re: 10/07 PTR Maintenance

Q u o t e:
So Wryxian, What do you play? Heard you guys play wow to, Just you have to watch the forums 24/7.
I've actually mentioned a few classes I actively play on here before. I've got characters of all classes, both factions, on multiple accounts. But I have 3 80s, one of which was 80 before Ghostcrawler's famous "if you've got an 80 now, you're hard core" quote. One of these 80s is a priest, and I have a lot of experience with raid healing (though less so recently, simply because of work commitments).

Re: 10/07 PTR Maintenance

Q u o t e:
I heard you use secret names on the characters as well, so we don't know who you are.
It's true, and there's good reason for that. And for the record, none of the Armory hits for "Wryxian" are me -- at the time I chose this name, there was no previous hit for this name on any search engine.

Q u o t e:
lol think you should come on the PTR and set up a raid for some people for a bit of a mess about if your not to busy
I'm sorry but I cannot. Even if I could, I wouldn't reveal who I was nor could I do all the cool stuff that GMs can do sometimes. Sorry to disappoint. :-)

Q u o t e:
Wryxian, why aren't any of the American CMs or Development Team posting? Holiday?
Doubtful, more likely they're working hard. I however am at home so more able to post.

Errr ... Wryxian ... I googled your name and this came up...

Think I saw that image used once on WoW Insider with one of my posts. I somehow seem to attract the comic images... ;-)

Q u o t e:
Time to test those freaky CM powers Wryxian! If I were to have, theoretically, posted in this thread several times before on another character, what race do you think it would be?:>
Considering the race of your previous post is shared by, from what I can see, only one other player -- I think out of respect I won't "out" you. ;-)

Q u o t e:
So are you British? Or do you hail from the colonies?
Both. Not the colony you might first suspect, though.

Closing this thread, since it has served the intended purpose.
