Update — 10:30 a.m. PDT
Due to an unforeseen complication in our engineers' efforts toward resolution, it is estimated that these realms shall remain offline for approximately one hour; however, should any new information come to light regarding their work, you shall be the very first to know. For now, please accept my most sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused by this unscheduled downtime. Your patience is appreciated. :)

Good morning, ladies and gents! As you might have noticed, a number of realms in the Cyclone Battlegroup (see full list below) are currently experiencing a wide array of connectivity issues; our server technicians are currently bringing these servers down in order to address a recent hardware failure, but they should be brought back up sometime in the near future. We shall keep you apprised of any further developments. :)

As an update, I regret that the estimate has now been extended to one hour; this has been reflected in the original post. My apologies. :/

Q u o t e:
Can I have my hour of sleep back now since I wasted it to get on and do av's?

Sadly, Game Masters have no sway over sleep or other circadian issues; please e-mail wowsandman@blizzard.com for further assistance. :)

Q u o t e:
update from the login, servers are being tested with the fix... 30 mins

This is, indeed, currently the most up-to-date information regarding the status of these realms; I'll let you know if anything more arises. :)

Q u o t e:
Well it is past the 30 minutes why aren't the realms up yet

I've just received word that all the affected realms should be functioning normally once more, and accepting players accordingly. :)
