Premades weren’t supposed to be active today - Actually, the premades being available on the existing realms was a mistake. They are being removed. There will be a specific premade realm. (src)
Premade Realm - Murmur will be the new Premade realm. Premades will be removed from “Northrend” and “Lich King” (src)

The same thing happened before Burning Crusade was released; all the new talents and geographical changes (new docks and teleport orbs to reach the Exodar or Silvermoon City) were added to the game and then as things progressed in the Beta, players on live had their newly acquired talents modified.
When this hits the PTR I [...]

I just managed to hit Lv. 66 on my Death Knight and it seems that we might get level 80 activated and some of the serious end game content tested. Be sure to check regularly and tell your friends, this weekend is shaping up to be very interesting indeed.
We will be taking down the Beta [...]

Right as I get done patching, just my luck.
New build on the way people, hopefully it won’t be a massive amount of changes like we saw recently but that’s no problem! If it is I got the new pages setup to keep things nice and orderly. I’ll be time stamping them as well so you [...]

I have been up a very long time everybody. It’s been one HELL of a day today. So before I sign off for the night I want to just drop this little nugget on your heads. YOUR TICKET IS SECURE! At least the contest winner’s ticket is secure. There aren’t as many entrees as you’d [...]

The beta realms will be going down at 1:00 PM PDT to apply an update. We anticipate approximately six hours of downtime.
Your patience and understanding are appreciated. (src)
UPDATED: The Beta realms should now be available for play. (src)

Sorry for the light posting the past few days, it’s been a little more than hectic as I’m trying to finish rounding out some major site changes. It’s not even all that difficult just very time consuming, and it probably won’t be 100% complete until the end of the month.
Good news is that I am [...]

We’ll return to our regularly scheduled program soon.

Did your realm break too? Yeah it was hellish but you know, these things happen I guess.
The patch did result in some realm instability issues within the first 24 hours, though we really appreciate it when players remain respectful and patient while we work to address such issues.
I wonder though exactly what happens when [...]

You know I could do the customary thing all these other sites are doing and give you a massive OMFG list of everything going on in this Patch, but that got boring after 3 pages. So instead here are the patch notes and I will go line by line explaining what EXACTLY this means. A [...]

We’re getting a pretty long stretch of maintenance coming up tomorrow (hopefully Patch please for the love of all buttsecks the nerf to Cheat Death commeth!) but there’s not any real 100% guarantee that the Patch is going live tomorrow. Just an early warning once more for the fine folks who like to pull the [...]

We will be performing our scheduled maintenance on Tuesday, July 8. Most realms will undergo rolling restarts beginning at 5:00AM PDT. Each of these realms will be down for no more than 15 minutes each and the entire process will last approximately 1 hour.
The following realms will undergo hardware maintenance beginning at 1:00AM PDT until [...]

Now this might simply be the one isolated instance of a server not really being up to par with the rest but it strikes me as odd that Blizzard would openly give such a specific reason as to why there might be a delay during maintenance and what they’re doing during said maintenance.
Every Tuesday is [...]

The site might be going down on and off today as I’m in the middle of some minor reconstructive surgery with it. I’m planning on doing a major redesign on a while but need to make sure all the features are importeed and tested before hand. There’s a lot going on with the real-estate on [...]

We will be performing our regular maintenance beginning at 5:00AM PDT and the majority of realms will be playable by approximately 5:30AM PDT. The realms listed below will require further maintenance and will be playable by approximately 6:30AM PDT. All Oceanic realms not listed below will begin a series of rolling restarts at 5:00AM [...]

I don’t know what you guys did on your server to break them but Blizzard’s going to bust out some emergency maintenance before the weekend.
We will be performing urgent maintenance on the following realms beginning at 11:30AM PDT. The realms should be playable again by approximately 1:30PM PDT.
Aman’Thul, Barthilas, Blackrock, Caelestrasz, Dath’Remar, Dreadmaul, Frostmourne, Frostwolf, [...]

It’s Monday night, that means tomorrow all US realms will be offline for typical Tuesday maintenance. However we’re getting an extended maintenance tomorrow from 5:00 AM PDT until 11:00 AM PDT. You can see the news break at the account login screen. I haven’t really seen any server instability at all this past week so [...]
