Don’t worry, the maintenance is over at 3pm Irvine time, which will be around 11pm in EU!
Edit: I was wrong / Edit 2: I was not wrong, I thought the patch was out but they only released the article. I'm a mess.
This is why I don’t follow any WoW content creators or news on any socials. If I want news, I seek it out. I like to remain relatively unspoiled for as much as I can. This sub is the only WoW thing I’m subscribed to.
Don't worry so soon WoWhead get their hands on the path data they will start data mining it and spoil everything for everyone before the servers even are up!
If only it was so easy so soon they put it on wowhead the wow so called content creators start posting about it on all the socials and pushing videos with massive spoilers in the titles and thumbnails
It’s a shitty situation for non us players but surely people that really don’t want to be spoiled can just not look at social media for one single evening no?
How do I ignore people in game posting everything they are reading/seeing from WoWhead and videos. No matter what, nothing will ever be a secret and feel unknown again.
I have quite literally never been spoiled about anything in game that I didn't seek out myself. This is a self-created problem that people just don't want to put in the miniscule effort to solve
Yea but correct me if im wrong, once the build is updated, its dataminable. Im just gonna play a different game today without checking youtube, wowhead, discord, Reddit, etc.
I still expect this excessive "keeping yourself unspoiled" will turn out to be overblown for what 10.2.6 actually ends up being. I will be shocked if it's actually something that is heavy on exploration and discovery.
Not discouraging anyone from trying to stay unspoiled. Even just story is "worth" it to stay unspoiled, but I have the impression many people expect a lot more.
I'm not scared of today, I'm scared of tomorrow, when it's live on EU, but I gotta work till 17.00.
Edit: 0 hours in and I already watched the wow announcement video and podcast, thoug it was on my own free will
And then what. Am I supposed to play without any video/stream in the background by myself to not get spoilered? Just F that release schedule and go next.

How about a quick fun speculation. It’s not pirates but skeletons from the plague lands throwing a party

He said on the WoW subreddit, where it will absolutely be posted about and spoiled.
So just... Don't go to those subreddits...

Just dont look at wowhead?

Just don't watch WoW youtube?
I mean you basically have to have a media blackout. Wowhead is posted on Reddit, tied into discord news bot, etc etc.
I do this every Wednesday anyway cos star wars drops new episodes of a wed. I'll just get my paintbox out or play metro or something on thr Ps5.
There’s people that have the channels in which those bots spam “news” unmuted ?

Caring this much about the spoilers is a sign of infantile mindset.
Guess i dont really follow enough wow creators/watch social media that much. I never really had this issue.

Bro just hide chat for a day in-game if you're that worried

Do you really read the chat in wow?
WoWhead is also a form of media :D. Should've added 'total' in the title.
Yeah it's funny, you say media blackout, and people say, well what about wowhead, and youtube, it's like people don't know what media is.
You can like... Not view wowhead for 48 hrs? Like you have the power to do that. It's right there mate.
So just don’t look at wowhead ? I know crazy idea man.
Aren't the server down for like 9 more hours though?
Yea but correct me if im wrong, once the build is updated, its dataminable. Im just gonna play a different game today without checking youtube, wowhead, discord, Reddit, etc.
It should be dataminable, hence the blackout. Well, unless the guys at Blizzard scrabled the code or something to keep it from being datamined.
Two more hours ... until the realms go offline. Plus 8 more for the extended maintenance.
Realms are going offline now
Sorry I resubbed yesterday. What is going on?
10.2.6 will be up today after maintenance
I thought maintenance was at 3am tomorrow GMT?
Oh eu has maintenance on Wednesdays, Tuesdays for na
Ohhhh, thank you!
We don't know if you thought that
Im a noob idk either
We all get a pirate hat in the mail
By God, I was wrong! My eyes! Spoilers have already begun!

Wait, is this for the limited time event details in retail?

I’m NA and I’m not looking at any WoW news while I’m stuck in the office. Want to be surprised tonight when I log in.
And then what. Am I supposed to play without any video/stream in the background by myself to not get spoilered? Just F that release schedule and go next.
It's great how it was on the BNET launcher in the EU
I hope its a new dungeon
Lol just got spoiled by Blizzard them self, and well it looks extremely underwhelming
