All realms scheduled to return to service today at 3:00 PM PDT are now available and accepting players.
We are moving forward on our hardware retrofits in preparation for the upcoming release of the Burning Crusade expansion and would like to inform everyone of our current schedule. Due to the requirements for implementing this new hardware, some realms may find they will be down for an extended period of time. During this time paid character transfers will be disabled.
Due to the nature of these hardware upgrades, we’re unable to preserve the friends and ignore list for characters on these realms. We recommend that players take the necessary steps to back up this information, and apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
We appreciate your understanding and patience as we work to improve realm performance and stability through our continued hardware upgrade plans.
