Q u o t e:
Greetings!

We are performing our weekly scheduled maintenance this morning, beginning at 1:00 AM PST on 12/08/2009. No realms will be available for play approximately between the hours of 1:00 AM and 11:00 AM PST.

Thank you for your patience.

Also of note, we expect a few hours of web maintenance this morning. Most web-services will be unavailable for a period of time and these forums may be as well.

As usual, I strongly encourage you to use this time to make sure your systems are secure and in tip-top shape for the week to come.

You know, let's add a reset-UI into the mix today....just cause... it's a really good idea to do that periodically.

Yup, that's my story and I'm stickin to it :)

To do a full reset UI, you will want to save your addons in another spot if you wish to preserve them.

Then rename/delete or move your WTF, Cache and Interface folders while WoW is shutdown. Reboot your system.

Note, if you are running Vista make sure your permissions are set so it does not undo your changes.

More detailed instructions for different operating systems, including Macs are here.

Oh - just FYI....

Keep an eye on the website a bit later today.

That is all <_>

Another, non-patch related surprise is coming?

Is it edible?

Is it made of chocolate?

No?

Secrets that really are.....I keep *mwhahah* *cough* *cough*

I mean, just check a bit later, should become interesting.

It appears as if maintenance will take a bit longer than anticipated, folks. I have my ear to the ground for a new ETA, but I'm afraid I do not have one quite yet. We'll be sure to let you know as soon as we hear any new developments.

As an FYI, the following post has been made on the General Discussion Forum:

Q u o t e:
Extended Maintenance 12/8

We are performing extended maintenance while we resolve some additional issues. We do not have an estimate on when the realms will be available for play but we will provide another update in approximately 1 hour. Thank you for your patience.
