Goooooooood Morning, CSF!

It's Tuesday once again in the fair land of Azeroth. Our gnomes will be hard at work this morning spit-shinning your realms, getting all the bodies and gore out of the battlegrounds, etc.

Greetings!

We are performing our weekly scheduled maintenance this morning, beginning at 5:00 AM PST on 2/17/2009. No realms will be available for play approximately between the hours of 5:00 AM and 11:00 AM PST.

Thank you for your patience.

As you can see, this is not scheduled until 5 AM PST, so you have a couple more hours of play this morning.

As always, I heartily recommend you take this opportunity to update your security software, do full sweeps, do any maintenance your system may need to provide you with peak performance so you are ready to go once realms return online.

Here is a bit of light reading:

Why the Downtime Every Tuesday?

Also, it's not uncommon for various web services to be temporarily unavailable during a maintenance, please do not be alarmed if these forums, the armory, etc. are not available anytime during this period.

As a quick reference for those of you living outside Pacific Standard Time, here's a small table to assist with quick conversions.

If PST = 11am, then:

MST = 12pm
CST = 1pm
EST = 2pm
AEDT = 6am

As always, please bear in mind that time of maintenance conclusion is an estimation. Should any changes to our current schedule become necessary, information will be provided in one of the following locations:

Realms are brought up slowly, in a staggered fashion. Should your realm not be on the list above, though is offline at this time, I encourage you to remain patient. :)

Q u o t e:
yeah, but id kinda expect the TAB to be there, with the server list, but stating "offline" instead of no server list whatsoever.
thanks anyways for the reply.

Ah. I misunderstood. :)

Does this tab remain absent if you close out the client and relog?
