Realm Maintenance - All Realms

Just as a reminder folks:

Q u o t e:
We will be performing maintenance on all realms to apply a hotfix on June 9 beginning at 4:00 AM PDT, and lasting until approximately 6:00 AM PDT. We appreciate your understanding and apologize for any inconvenience this may cause in your regular play schedule.

Folks, realms are now coming back up and should all be available soon. For those that are still having issues logging into their realms please be assured that they will be up as soon as possible; no one realm is being forgotten about. :)

Just to clarify and reiterate, some realms are still being brought up - the "Retrieving Character List" message is being worked on. I do apologize folks, I understand that it is Saturday morning and everyone wants to get to enjoying their weekend in-game; they will be available again as soon as possible. :)

As an update, the reports of abnormal latency on particular realms is being looked into and addressed. Again folks, my apologies - I wish I had better news to offer! Things should be back up and running smoothly here sooner, rather than later.
