Q u o t e:
Thank you Panda Bear!

Good morning!

*runs to the coffeemaker*

Morning Crepe!

Q u o t e:
I thought my account had gone wonky when I couldn't post on the other thread. lol must check on lock status next time :/

ty for all your hard work sleepy panda bear :D

Anytime, thought a fresh start would be good as when I was posting updates they were getting missed.

Q u o t e:
will they be up then back down for rolling restarts or when come up be up for the day. I know my realm has been down now good 10+ hours. should not need to be restarted lol

and TY for keeping us up to date. Hate to say still been long long down time on them.

We may actually squeak by without them, still waiting to hear. In any case, restarts are typically very quick.

Realms should be returning. If yours is not yet on the list, won't be much longer.

Thank you, everyone, for your patience while this got resolved.

Quel'Dorei is still being worked on folks, just FYI - may be a bit longer on that realm.

Everyone else should be back in business!

Q u o t e:
I just logged on to Ravenholdt in the Whirlwind battlegroup, and i haven't gotten my arena points for the week, i thought those came in the early early a.m. ????

I don't believe with everything else that happened last night those scripts have run yet - but I am having it double-checked, Aros.

Q u o t e:
alright Farstriders is back up and running again thank you Blizzard for your hard work in fixing the problem. by the way anyone know what happened to make the servers crash like that?

Few more details in this thread from General, Crest.

Was power/mechanical issues.
