No worries, Ahten. There's a few places you can look for messaging. One is the breaking news (which is posted in the game launcher and in game client - it's the neat message box that Rothly just mentioned). There is also the Service Status forum ( http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/board.html?sid=1&forumId=11113 ) and Realm Status page ( http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/realmstatus/ ). We'll also do our best to post updates as well in our CS Twitter feed ( http://twitter.com/BlizzardCS ).
