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 rate at which you gain exp in Northrend being tweaked - The XP tuning is getting closer. We’re going to do a minor adjustment in today’s patch. 10% faster. (src)

Tigole also made a few comments about today’s maintenance and the goals they have for the Beta. (src)

• We’re going to try to patch today.
• Icecrown, the exterior zone, will be shipped out with the expansion. Icecrown Citadel, the dungeon/raid experience, will be part of a future patch.
• Storm Peaks will be in this patch. If it continues to crash the server, we’ll have to turn it off again.

Wrath Beta Servers are down for the count - We will be taking down the Beta realms at 10:30AM Pacific time today September 5th 2008 for maintenance. We expect this process to take from six to eight hours. (src)
