My realm is finally up, only an hour and a half late, but now there is a problem with
retrieving character lists which Blizzard says should be resolved by 4:30.


Okay ,so remove addons,copy update loaders, I already have multiple
versions of WOW instals to patch back to if it fails.
( should have remembered to copy the updates DIRECTORY as well)

started 10:13 am ACDST
login.
Patch required, gulp.
Downloading 3.01 1mb of 2.6GB, heart hits floor...I already did it.
No worries, just scanning , waiting waiting.
Pauses at 2.58 of 2.5 GB 99% for a while, 3 minutes,2,1,2,1,2
2.6 of 2.6 99%
blip blip

downloader disappears
Blizzard updater appears, 1% installing "locale-wnUS.MPQ'
10:17 installing common-2.MPQ 4%
10:20 " " 6%
10:29 expansion.MPQ 12%
DOHDOHDOH should have copied the updates DIRECTORY in case it deletes afterwards

hope it hasn't marked anything in there, times will be off because of copy

Hey, what with all their language prissyness WOW has a WTF directory :-)

10:34 expansion.MPQ 33%

Breath bar starts building up ?? not under water.
No talent points, makes it a tad hard to fight properly,run.
...oh, its the auction house :-)
Tips are restarted.
Many items at auction house are empty with zero price,
takes a while to update but they come back.

Okay, so, framerate seems to be slightly up, or maybe my imagination.
but the 3815ms latency just sucks, check it out later.
