My server, Proudmoore, activated the epic gem vendor last night. This means we’ve won the SSO race.

It’s a bittersweet accomplishment. While I’m glad we’ve won, after having lost the AQ race despite our initial lead, it’s ultimately insignificant. It’s not going to attract top raiders or PvPers to our server. The only thing I’m genuinely happy about is the fact that my guild will no longer have a gem supply problem. If we’re out of spinels, people can run Karazhan and buy what they need.
