Rolling restarts this week for US realms

Happy Tuesday, everyone! This week's regular maintenance cycle for US realms will be performed via rolling restarts of all realms, starting at 5:00 AM PDT today. What this means, of course, is that we shouldn't expect more than 15 minutes of downtime while the realms are restarted -- though we can't say precisely when the restarts will occur for each realm. (Blizzard will be working their way down the realm list, so your realm could come up right at five o'clock or could be left for last.)In addition to the rolling restarts, Blizzard will also be performing some authentication system maintenance during an unspecified time period today. However, the maintenance shouldn't hinder our ability to log on to the game. So play on, everyone!

it would be incredible if these rolling restarts resolve an issue that Charter internet subscribers are having in Missouri, we have been getting continually disconnected and unable to reconnect to the server we were playing on for about 15 min to over an hour. If you are experiencing this issue please please please post in this thread http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=328515660&postId=3032179441&sid=1#6

Glad the East Coast isn't getting screwed over like the last maintenance period which came back on at around 4 PM...
