As you have no doubt noticed, we had a fairly lengthy downtime this
morning. I'm in the process of making sure things are in order, but the site
should be fully functional again soon. I'm extremely embarrassed at the
downtime and apologize for it happening.
Join us on
IRC for real-time updates on Ulduar once it opens up!
3.1 Compilation
Ulduar Hall of Fame
The Ulduar Hall of Fame isn't quite ready yet, but I wanted to publish the
list of what will be tracked. While many of these will be tracked
automatically based on guild-earned achievements, if you'd like to share more
information on your kills, please do so in the
Raids & Dungeons forum.
How this list will differ from the "Speed Run Hall of Fame" is that each
will be a static top-10 list, listing the first 10 guilds in the world to
complete each achievement / defeat each encounter under the specific
requirements. If you want to suggest more achievements be tracked,
let me know.

Fame List
The Extended Maintenance Has Been
Extendeded
I do say, I'm quite shocked!

We are continuing to perform maintenance on all realms but currently do
not have a definite estimate on when the realms will be playable. We will
provide another update in approximately 1 hour with further information on
when we expect the maintenance to be complete. Thank you for your patience.
Site Update - Guide Section
The Guides tab should now link to the new guide section. The old guides
should begin appearing today as I get them formatted and ensure all of the
data integrity is intact after today's website issues. One of the major
changes with this new section is a new guide navigation, which you can access
in a dropdown format at the top, rather than the clunky Ajax navigation the
old system used.
Patch Day Advice and Rituals
A fairly useful thread by Nethaera on the official forums for patch day!

Everyone has certain things they do on a patch day to get them ready for
the changes and new content they'll get to experience. Some people wear a
lucky pair of socks, or stock up on their favorite drinks and foods. What
sort of things do you do and what advice do you have for other players?
Some things to remember:
- Respec your talents and visit a trainer to learn any new spells.
- Don't forget that you can turn on the preview option as a part of a
new additions to the interface. You can place your points before
actually spending them.
- If you're dual speccing, be sure to make sure you match up your spec
to your primary glyphs first unless you are changing them all out
completely. You will not be able to copy or move glyphs over to your
secondary spec.
- Don't forget to get any Glyphs that you might need for your
secondary spec if you are dual speccing. You will no longer need to
visit a Lexicon of Power in order to apply them, however.
- Activate any additional interface options you'd like to use. We
released a User Interface update a little while ago and there are some new
features that you may want to take advantage of such as the additional
Objectives tracking. (Equipment Manager as noted in the above stickies
will not be released with this patch.) -

- Be sure to take a listen to the great new music in the Argent
Tournament and Ulduar!
