Realm Maintenance – 10/27/2009

#0 - Oct. 27, 2009, 7:57 a.m.

Update, 9:30 AM PDT:

We identified an issue which is affecting proper Auction House functionality on those realms listed below. We are presently working to resolve those issues at this time and hope to have these realms online as quickly as possible.

All realms not listed are now online and available for play. :)

Gooooooood Tuesday morning, CSF!

Short window planned on maintenance today. From our Service Status Forum:

Q u o t e:
Greetings!

We are performing our weekly scheduled maintenance on Tuesday, October 27th beginning at 7:00 AM PDT. No realms will be available for play approximately between the hours of 7:00 AM and 9:00 AM PDT.

Thank you for your patience.

Some web services—like Paid Character Transfer, Account Management, and our forums—may be unavailable during part or all of this maintenance.

As always, this is an excellent time to complete all OS, antivirus and anti-spyware software, Flash, et al updates. I know I had an update for Windows and Adobe this week, so please ensure that yours are updated, as well, as they often address vulnerabilities.

As a reminder: As all maintenance schedules are provided in PDT (Pacific Daylight Time), should you not live on the Pacific coast of North American, you will need to adjust this time accordingly. :)

Here's a quick table to reference:

Q u o t e:
Just to be really, REALY pedantic, please note that PST is NOT equal to PDT. While the Blue text does indicate times should be in PDT, the times noted in the white text are listed as PST. The maintenance time today does appear to be 7am to 9am PDT (since we are still on Daylight Savings Time).

This has been corrected. :)

And happy birthday, Mfer!

Morning, ladies and gentleman. :)

We're still concluding maintenance at this time, but hope to have all realms accessible as quickly as possible. Should I receive any additional updates I will relay them onto you post-haste.

Q u o t e:
i have under realm location selection "Developemnt" ???
what on earth is this?

Don't panic. :)

While this is not what one would call "typical," it is normal. This realm frequently appears when all realms are unavailable and will disappear once maintenance concludes.

Q u o t e:
Conclusions typically aren't longer than the process itself.

I will simply intimating that realm maintenance was nearly finished. You extrapolate too much. ;)

With that said, we're presently starting to bring realms online at this time. Please note that this is a staggered process. Should your realm not be available immediately, do not worry; this intended and helps us monitor the status of our online realms with greater ease.

As we're monitoring the status of our realms during this process, should any of you experience any errors or difficulties, please let me know right away so that I may forward this information on. Thank you!

Several realms are still unavailable, Cypruschill, including the whole of Bloodlust (not just Oceanic realms). It appears our technicians verified an issue with this battlegroup's Auction House system and so are working to address that presently.

Q u o t e:
Bracketed Oceanic ay? Were you expecting a backlash from my fellow Aussies?

The brackets were to address the specific realm set that Cypruschill was inquiring about, Elhefe. :)

Realms on battlegroup Bloodlust should be coming online now. :)

If you encounter any issues logging in or accessing any part of the game, please let me know.

Correct! All realms should now be live. :)
