Some downtime, some rolling restarts for this week's mainteinace

This week in server maintenance, most realms will have rolling restarts instead of downtime (these restarts will be starting at 5:00 AM PDT, and such things usually involve around 15 minutes of downtime per realm), but selected realms will have a longer than usual maintenance cycle starting at 3:00 AM PDT and lasting until 1:00 PM PDT. No word on what the additional downtime is for (perhaps this particular hardware simply needed a regular maintenance cycle this week?), but if you're playing on any of the following realms, expect downtime during this week's maintenance cycle. The list includes: Agamaggan, Alexstrasza, Alleria, Azshara, Baelgun, Balnazzar, Blackhand, Cho'gall, Dark Iron, Destromath, Dethecus, Detheroc, Emerald Dream, Garona, Gorgonnash, Greymane, Gul'dan, Hellscream, Illidan, Kael'thas, Kalecgos, Kirin Tor, Lightninghoof, Maelstrom, Malfurion, Moonrunner, Nazjatar, Ravencrest, Sargeras, Spinebreaker, Staghelm, Stormreaver, Twisting Nether, Ursin, Whisperwind, and Wildhammer.For those of you without downtime tonight, grats. For those of you with extended downtime... well, I can recommend some good books.

WOO HOO...no downtime...and this is great knowing I will be at work and not able to play anyways.....I hate work. I need to be paid to play WoW.

sad thing is that alot of people are lost and do not know what to do during downtime. How about work on "real life" for a change.

I used to have a job where my day off was Tuesday, it's not that I didn't know what to do, but wow is my relaxation time and I couldn't play until late in the afternoon. I work tomorrow night so this will be a good change.

Just curious as to where you're getting the info from. Is it from the game itself? I had a look at the Realm Status forum on worldofwarcraft.com and they don't mention it. Not that I don't believe it, but it means Blizz are being very slack not posting it.

@ 4 -- I agree it should be posted on their forums. But it is on the window on the left if you open up WoW. I just double checked it.

I think you should relax some. Most people do things in Real Life a lot more than play this game. My post was /sarcasm. Maybe I should have put that in there.

Yep, I probably should have clarified as to my source when I wrote it, but this is from the "Breaking News" box that shows up on the login screen. Usually Blizzard has a mirror copy of these announcements on the forums, but I haven't seen this one.
