Our Technicians are working hard to address the issue as quickly as possible; however, we do not yet have an ETA to provide at this time. Should more information regarding this issue become available, we will keep you updated in this thread.
Thanks again for your unbelievable display of patience and understanding.

Greetings, all—
In an effort to resolve connectivity issues across multiple realms, we will be conducting urgent maintenance on the Emberstorm and Whirlwind Battlegroups shortly. We expect each realm in the affected realms to be down approximately 2 hours; however, the actual amount of time each realm is down may vary. Should downtime be extended, we will do our best to update you in this thread along the way. Additionally, information will also be provided in the following Service Status Forum post:
