Maintenance is generally scheduled every Tuesday, Deathxslayer.

Occasionally there will be what are called rolling restarts, where each realm is unavailable for approximately 15 minutes or so. Scheduled maintenance will usually be resolved by 11am PDT. If for whatever reason maintenance is extended, we will update the players via the Breaking News, as well as the Service Status Forum:
