Slightly Extended US Maintenance Tomorrow
Tomorrow's regularly scheduled maintenance has been extended to open up a window for some required ISP maintenance. Nothing else exciting to expect, and patch 1.12 is still a ways out, considering the test servers are still online. However, tomorrow all US realms will be offline between 2:45AM and 11:00AM PDT. I know a lot of people play at that time, especially those in Oceanic time zones, so now's the time to make new plans. (Though fishing isn't really an option for those playing in North America...)
Extended Weekly Maintenance for US Realms
This week's maintenance has been extended - and will be starting at 3:00 AM PDT and lasting until 11:00 AM PDT. Yes, that means additional downtime for all US realms. There's no news as to why maintenance needed to be extended, but if you're thinking this may be a sign of patch deployment, that's highly unlikely. The test realms have always been taken offline before the patch has been deployed on the live realms, and they're currently still up and running. But as to what's actually happening, no one really knows.
It's Tuesday... and I Can't Play Warcraft!
Well, you ought to know that for US servers, weekly maintenance is on Tuesday (Wednesday for those of you in the EU). This means that every Tuesday (or Wednesday), all of the servers go offline so that Blizzard can do whatever they need to do to keep them running. However, despite the fact that this is a regular occurrence, there are always players who are confused or upset by the downtime. Fortunately, community MVP Palehoof has complied this handy guide to answer any questions you might have about the maintenance process. (While the information here was specifically written for those of us on US servers, it might address some questions EU players have as well.)
Extended US Maintenance Tuesday
This week's maintenance has been extended by two hours to apply a bug fix patch, so be prepared for maintenance to run between 3am and 11am (PST). No information on what this patch may be fixing - but I suppose we'll all find out together, tomorrow.
Another Tuesday, another maintenance day
We all have to deal with it - every Tuesday morning the Warcraft servers go offline for weekly maintenance. If you've ever wondered why this is done or what is accomplished by it, community manager Tseric offers us some insight. Why don't other MMO's do this - Tseric contends that they do, just in smaller bits and at different hours.
