Subject: Extended Maintenance 8/15/06
   UPDATE 3:15 PM PDT - More realms are going live and we are closely monitoring the effects of changes made.

UPDATE 2:51 PM PDT - We are pushing new data out to the realms that should allow proper log in to a particular realm. This issue has to do with configuration work mentioned earlier. We are watching carefully as this issue progresses.

UPDATE 2:38 PM PDT - We have made some adjustments that we think will address the issue. We are testing these changes currently and hopefully the results will be favorable.

UPDATE 2:21 PM PDT - Some realms are experiencing unexpected terminations and are not staying online. Our programming team is assisting in isolating the matter and finding a resolution. Will update further when we know more.

UPDATE 2:06 PM PDT - Have received word that the realms are going live and players should be able to log in. Will watch for any further updates to the situation.

UPDATE 12:58 PM PDT - Due to necessary reconfiguration still ongoing, we must extend our ETA for the following realms to go online. We expect a return to service for these realms at approximately 2 PM PDT. We apologize for this continued delay and hope to have these realms available as soon as we can.

EDIT - As an aside for the inquisitive posters, I'll explain a little more as to the delays. We are reconfiguring our connections and software with outside ISPs in preparation for the coming patch (1.12) and the expansion. As we are working with several different groups, coordination between them can take a little more time should unexpected events arise. We are trying to wrangle the connected realms (for cross-realm battlegrounds, among other things) so that they hang out on the internet well and not cause difficulty in communication with each other and the outside world.

------------------

We have almost completed maintenance for most realms. However the following realms need further attention to complete all work and we expect this to extend their down time to approximately 1 PM PDT. Hopefully we will have all realms back up before then and we thank you for bearing with us.

   UPDATE 4:18 PM PDT - A couple of realms are still requiring restarts to get them back online completely, but as of this posting most realms should be live and accepting players. If you are unable to log in to your realm on the list it is likely in the middle of a power-cycle and should be live again shortly.
