I just got doing doing a daily for brewfest, and went to another toon.. Tried logging on.. and it sits at the loading screen forever.. so I quit problem and try again.. and it says something about character already online.. so I quit program.. log on.. and try another toon.. and it's a repeat.. I see you have schedule restarts for 5am. I think you better do this crap now..

This is happening on multiple servers.. and is screwing up my dailies for brewfest! 3 times I have tried this now.. an can't log in.

The realm restarts at 5 AM PDT are not for this issue, Wefragembank. Our Realm Technicians are looking into these reports and we'll have this addressed as soon as possible.
