If the following criteria are met, for at least 3 consecutive days, I'll double the XP rates, all money rates (also level 70-quest-money), rest rate, item drop rate, honor rates, skill crafting and skill gaining rates on both realms for 7 days! Furthermore I will stock the Auctionhouse with cheap levelling gear and consumables for all levels.

I want to:
- reach a place below 50 at the XtremeTop100 list for TBC.
- reach a place below 50 at the MMORPG Toplist for TBC.
- be below 40 at the WoWstatus website for TBC.

And to help our friends at the Wrath of the Lich King realm too:
- reach a place below 50 at the WoW status list for WoTLK

You can find all these vote links on our website main page: http://www.excalibur-wow.com

The sooner you start voting, the sooner the rates will be increased so start inviting fellow players to vote! You can vote for each link every 12 hours. So please try and vote every day. Or for the hardcore gamers, vote twice a day ;-)
If we reach those criteria, it's time to go grind that instance until you finally get that one item with terrible droprate :)

Keep voting for our server to improve our population, your help is very much appreciated.

Enjoy the upgraded server!

I think its fair to say that this makes us one of the best 2.4.3 blizzlike servers around and we're going to do everything we can to keep this image in 2012.

Enjoy!

Santa told me you need to do your very best this time!
If we
- reach a place below 35 at the WoW status list for TBC.
- reach nr 10 or better on the Apex Web Gaming website.
- reach a place below 50 at the WoW status list for WoTLK

The rates will be doubled for the second time this month! This time it will only last 5 days, so be quick and start voting and inviting fellow players to vote.

Have a Merry Christmas everyone :)

Edit 10.04AM GMT+1 : We're back online, have fun!]]> account@excalibur-wow.com (Atari007) Mon, 06 Feb 2012 00:55:36 GMT http://www.excalibur-wow.com/news/view/333/ http://www.excalibur-wow.com/news/view/332/
The data is (as always) safe.

Enjoy the freshly rebooted server!

Once again, the data was never in danger, for either realms. This was just a minor inconvenience which we hope will not occur again.
