PTR Realm Maintenance - 9/18/14

Greetings All!

The PTR realms are currently shutting down for maintenance in order to deploy a new build. I'll be updating this thread with information and time estimates as I receive them. I don't have an ETA yet, but these pushes usually take at least 8 hours, if not more.

I'll be leaving this thread open for general discussion as long as people remain civil and follow forum rules.

[quote="145041951441"]Yea i honestly dont understand this, why schedule it during the time most wow players are online? Why not earlier in the morning so i can do more then log in for 5 minutes to see the servers are going down again

We do our best to schedule Live Retail Maintenance to times when the fewest players are online. However for our testing realms (Beta, PTR, etc) that's not something we're able to do due to the number of needed maintenance cycles and build pushes.

Retail Priority = Highest Uptime Possible
PTR/Beta Priority = Newest/Most stable build possible

The new build (18898) will be deployed to your app shortly. ETA 45 minutes. I'll ping the thread once that's all done.

Looks like the build is being deployed now - please close any running Game Clients, restart your battle.net app, and let me know if there are any issues.

Realms are up!

We've made some tweaks over here for PTR - how are logins looking? (Retrieving Character List? Stuck at 90% loading bar?)

We're continuing to look into and work on issues with logging in and staying connected. Thanks for being patient.
