Rolling restarts on all realms

However, reports indicate that restarts have taken on a different form than expected, as many realms went down several times for a short period several hours earlier. These rolling restarts, lasting no more than a few minutes per realm, occurred much earlier than Bornakk's announcement. Blizzard did not indicate what problems they will be fixing with these emergency restarts. We'll keep you posted as we learn more.

Well seems like nax server has crashed on wildhammer. Not sure if this is a precursor to this server problems.

Both Cenarion Circle and Moon Guard have been up and down all day. I decided to take advantage of it on my DK and parked in a mithril-rich cave. I need 200 more bars for my blacksmithing >_

I don't know if this is linked or not, but on Drak'thul Orgrimar is down, you can't port there from Dalaran.

On Black Dragonflight, Undercity...disappeared. No zeppelins ran to or from there, my hearthstone wouldn't let me hearth there (but it still happened to get used up... -_-) saying "instance not fount," and there were no people in there who were in /2 who were able to confirm UC still...existed.
...new Gnomish weapons of mass destruction? =|

i' find it more disturbing how this no longer amazes me, but yet is expected .... probably why I play less than ever before
no reason to make something that i used to find very enjoying less fun than it has been in the last year or more, it's like small moments of enjoyment interrupted by thinking that i'd find it in some game where the issues only get worse (and that's 4 years worth of getting worse)
so be it

Us Magtheridon has had a bunch of restarts today as well. i was in a 25 man vaults and the entire raid DCed after the trash pulls. when we got back in we all spawned in being and the trash was there again. :(

3rd restart on US-Zuluhed just happened--didn't notice anything missing, very short restarts though.

When you read the "Blizzard thanks you for your patience and understanding" for the third time in one day you start to feel like the Blizzard message is just mocking you. A reason for the restarts would be nice.

Third restart in 8 hours for Lethon. We're open to free transfers, so I wonder if it has to do with that. Seriously, why so many restarts today? The 3.0.8 bugs are mostly gone now, what's to fix 3 times in a day?

Rolling restarts at 10:30am PST? I logged in at 8:15am PST? I was planning on sending money to a alt and i see the message SERVER RESTART in 2min 30sec and countdown. Blizz needs to get off the pipe.

All the BG servers on Quel'Dori stopped working for several hours. Such a waste of a waste of a day.
