ETA on Nightfall?

We estimate the following realms to be down for approximately 30 minutes to issue rolling restarts:

Aerie Peak
Altar of Storms
Alterac Mountains
Anvilmar
Arygos
Blackwing Lair
Deathwing
Demon Soul
Doomhammer
Gnomeregan
Icecrown
Jaedenar
Kel'Thuzad
Lethon
Onyxia
Sentinels
Tanaris
The Venture Co
Uldaman
Undermine

We apologize for the short notice and appreciate your patience. :)

Q u o t e:


Could you possibly restart Malygos, as well?
Even better.. all of the servers? May solve a lot of problems.

Thanks for the input :)

Our database administrators are carefully monitoring each realm and will perform rolling restarts or maintenance as needed. We will do our best to disseminate information about realm restarts as quickly as possible.

Q u o t e:


Is this the hotfix Ghostcrawler was talking about or these just realm downages?

These stability issues are not related to any hofixes, no. :)

Q u o t e:
If you could possibly keep us updated via these forums, that would be awesome.

I'll let you know as soon as more information is available.

Q u o t e:
And Gnomeregan?

Q u o t e:
Any plans for adding Tich to that list? It's broken right now.

My post in this thread specifically relates to the Nightfall battlegroup requiring rolling restarts. We are aware that other realms are experiencing stability issues and will address them on an individual basis as quickly as possible, or on the battlegroup level if necessary.

Q u o t e:
Only one problem with the whole "Down for 30 minutes", realms have been down an hour just saying.

I'm not monitoring the realms myself. I'm going off of the internal information being provided to me, in this case being: "the following realms will require rolling restarts which will take about a half hour to complete." This doesn't mean that some of these realms could not have been down beforehand, which may or may not be the reason for the restarts.

Q u o t e:


I'm lost. You are saying you appreciate our patience...but damnit I am not being patience. Don't thank me for something i'm not giving you. Gezz, stop being nice.

Just being hopeful.

The realms listed in my original post should be coming back up slowly. We will continue to monitor the performance of these realms, and thank you again for your continued patience. ;)

Q u o t e:
You should be in PR or something.

Does this count as PR? I don't know D:

The community team is a division of public relations, yes. :D

Q u o t e:



again with the patience!!! argh!!!


Onyixa misses me :(

I said it with you in mind.

Q u o t e:
Undermine still down....way to go blizz

I said the affected realms would be coming up slowly.

Q u o t e:
Blizz, I'm no IT guy but my uncle knows a little about computers.

On the servers that are having trouble, he suggests pulling out the hard drives and blowing into the part where the cord plugs into, this might help.

Hope I can be of assistance.

I've heard a few light slams to the right side of the server may help as well, but I'll pass this along.

All of the affected realms in my original post should now be back online. Please let me know via this thread if any major stability issues persist on any realms in the Nightfall battlegroup.

Q u o t e:
Man, I sure do hate to be THAT guy...but I can't retrieve my character list for Undermine...

EDIT: My gf just got in on Undermine, but I can't, wtf :-(

This is likely due to a large influx of players trying to get back on these realms.

Q u o t e:


No, it's because she has boobies, admit it!!!!

If the character list was retrieved based on my preference you might have a point. :p

Persistent continent instability on Malygos is being looked into right now.

Q u o t e:
Okay, managed to log into Aerie Peak, but it's back to a lagfest. Can't loot mail, make items etc..

Our database administrators are aware that players are experiencing loot and mail lag, high latency, and receiving "transfer aborted: instance not found" errors across many Nightfall realms.

Q u o t e:
Update on Arygos: We are up now, but we can't zone into BT. It's saying "Transfer aborted: Instance not found."

Is this still occurring?

Malygos players, please continue your reports here to avoid further confusion in this thread: http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=11228554916&postId=112274340343&sid=1#2
