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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

The world’s gone mad! Nah not really just more extended maintenance. I’m not really sure what it all means really. It could mean absolutely nothing as well. All I know is that at this moment in time we haven’t gotten our 2 week notice on Arena Season 4 or anything more concrete about the Wrath [...]

Due to some urgent issues that have come up, we will be performing extended maintenance on the following realms. We currently estimate these realms will be available by approximately 1:00PM PDT. All other realms are currently online and playable. (src)

Wow so it kind of snuck up on me that today is Tuesday and the servers would be down. If I was more aware of the time passing then I would’ve had more on the site for you folks to look at lol. Granted there’s tons up right now like the Wrath news and Kil’jaden [...]

Twisting Nether, Ursin, and Wildhammer are also on the list but there was not room on the screenshot.

Actually it’s quiet all over Azeroth and then some right now. Extended maintenance has proven that Patch 2.4.2 is now live and you may download it at your leisure. It’s been a busy morning around here though contrary to the lack of any posting so far.
Got a pretty decent lineup for you today to the [...]

Tomorrow is Tuesday and that means maintenance is on the horizon. However, this time it’s a little different because for the most part all of the PTR stuff is done and they might be applying patch 2.4.2.
It does seem a little unlikely though since Arena Season 4 is probably going to fall suit with patch [...]

Let me catch you all up on what happened between 2:00PM yesterday and 9:00AM today.

PTRs went down, then back up again. The collective lemmings of the press went bat shit bonkers over this but really it’s no big deal. Start swooning when Hortus makes a post saying “Thank you…” about the testing going down for [...]

It’s Tuesday. We all know what this means. Here’s a brief list of things you can do to pass the time for all my fellow East Coast players that will find themselves able to login sometime around 1:00 in the afternoon. The ones in bold are what I’m doing!

Meh, it’s another Tuesday. Most servers are only getting a quick rolling restart while others are having the full “normal” down time.
It’s kind of busy around Spooncraft HQ this morning but I’m fully here so no worries. Today won’t have a lapse in new intel.

Hey hey now we get to play for a few hours before the servers go down again for Tuesday maintenance!
Update
All realms are now online and playable. Thank you for your patience.   (src)
I understand that many times these server crashes and hardware failures are unavoidable. There really isn’t forewarning Blizzard can give us [...]

Happy Tuesday everyone. Maintenance is going on right now but it seems that today’s downtime will be almost non-existent. Rolling restarts that will last approx. 15 minutes each is the only interruption we’ve been told about.
I presume that this week is going to be light on the server work to give players a little break [...]

The 2008 World of Warcraft Arena Tournament has now officially begun lolcats. Players from around the world can compete on our special tournament realms using the new tournament format rofl. We have leveled the playing field by allowing participants to choose and customize their character and equipment and team up with fellow players to clash in [...]

Update: All realms are now online and available for play. We are continuing to monitor the situation to avoid any further issues. Thank you for your patience. (src)

Update: We are currently in the process of marking these realms live. Due to the large number of realms it may take some time before all of them are available for play. We thank you for your patience as we continue to resolve this.

This is a pretty freaking huge list. Direct from Blizzard:

Aside from getting a real job, having kids, or joining the armed services; there are a few ways to kill time during Tuesday Maint. The servers are going through an extended maintenance, hopefully to solve all the weird crashes and such that have been plaguing the servers for a few days now, and should be [...]
