The extended maintenance cycle begins! [Updated]

Tseric greets us on this pleasant Tuesday afternoon with the news that today's maintenance cycle has been extended until 1PM PDT for select realms. There is, however, no news as to why the maintenance has been extended -- patch problems, perhaps? Though as far as "select realms" are concerned, I suspect the list of "non-select realms" would be shorter. So if you play on any of the following realms, the wait for uptime just got a little longer: Agamaggan, Aggramar, Alexstrasza, Alleria, Arathor, Argent Dawn, Arthas, Azgalor, Azjol-Nerub, Azshara, Baelgun, Balnazzar, Blackhand, Bleeding Hollow, Bloodhoof, Bloodscalp, Bonechewer, Boulderfist, Bronzebeard, Burning Blade, Burning Legion, Cho'gall, Crushridge, Daggerspine, Dark Iron, Darkspear, Destromath, Dethecus, Detheroc, Draenor, Dragonblight, Dragonmaw, Dunemaul, Durotan, Earthen Ring, Eldre'Thalas, Elune, Emerald Dream, Eonar, Eredar, Feathermoon, Firetree, Frostmane, Garona, Gilneas, Gorefiend, Gorgonnash, Greymane, Gul'dan, Gurubashi, Hellscream, Illidan, Kalecgos, Kael'Thas, Kargath, Kirin Tor, Laughing Skull, Lightninghoof, Lightning's Blade, Llane, Lothar, Madoran, Maelstrom, Magtheridon, Malfurion, Malygos, Mannoroth, Medivh, Moonrunner, Nathrezim, Nazjatar, Perenolde, Ravencrest, Sargeras, Scarlet Crusade, Shadow Council, Shadow Moon, Shadowsong, Shattered Hand, Silvermoon, Skullcrusher, Skywall, Smolderthorn, Spinebreaker, Spirestone, Staghelm, Stonemaul, Stormrage, Stormreaver, Stormscale, Suramar, Terenas, Thunderhorn, Thunderlord, Trollbane, Twisting Nether, Uldum, Ursin, Warsong, Whisperwind, Wildhammer, Windrunner, and Zul'jin.
(Wow, that was a mouthful.)
Update: Tseric informs us that all realms should be back online in a matter of moments. Huzzah!

such a good feeling to scan through those and find that my realm isn't listed :D

Boo! Earthen Ring still down. Oh well I'm still at work. My wife downloaded the patch for us though, the sweetie she is.
She also seems to be having trouble with something called "gala net rappelz epic3". She doesn't use add ons so she's not sure where it came from. Any one know and wanna let me in on the secret?

Awesome Undermine is up and running, I'm about 75% though lvl 69, and once I hit 70 I'm hitting the instances for some primal nether

@2 - the gala net rappelz thingy-wa-jigger is probably from the free mmo Rappelz. I used to play that before I broke down and started my WoW account back up. Never looked back. I'd check to see if you have that game installed and then uninstall it if it is, as WoW is so much better.

"I'm about 75% though lvl 69, and once I hit 70 I'm hitting the instances for some primal nether"
Heh. Might want to double-check which bosses drop primal nether and then spend some time gearing up.

I've been falling through the ground and resurrecting in random places for the last few hours on two different unlisted realms. If it wasn't so amusing I'd be mad.

If you noticed, the Realms that are/were up were the ones which Blizzard probably considers to be underpopulated. Can you say, "Let's force our players to reroll on one of the underpopulated Realms so that we can get more players on them!"?
