Looks like the authentication servers will be undergoing some maintenance this evening, March 16th from 11pm PST/2am EST to 1am PST/4am EST. Here's the full announcement:
RalvorinnWe'll be performing maintenance on our authentication services this evening which may impact the ability to log in for some players. The maintenance will begin at 11:00 PM PDT, March 16 and last until approximately 1:00 AM PDT, March 17.
So if you were planning on logging in tonight, you may want to do it before the maintenance starts. If there are any extensions to this maintenance, we'll be sure to let you know!

@NeoPhobos
Protip: Use #t=00m00s at the end of the youtube link so it starts instantly from the part you want. In this case the link should look like:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkz83VFEk1A#t=01m02s if you want it to start from 1.02
Anyway. Gz on weapon "I guess". No need to spam it all over the website tho. Use feedback to send news tip. This way you are just making the news most likely not to be published.

Do you pronounce it main-ten-ance or maint-nance??
Ishammel Mar 17th 2010 4:24AM
If you're British, 'main-ten-ance'. If you're American, 'maint-nance'.
Not always the case, but mostly!
Agravaine Mar 17th 2010 4:31AM
And if you're French, it's mant-nonce...
mattcasburn Mar 17th 2010 4:55AM
And if you're Australian, it's mate-nince
Ishammel Mar 17th 2010 9:31AM
And if you're a gnome, it's 'spraggle-whizz-sprocket'.
Kanap Mar 17th 2010 9:52AM
so does that make me un-American if I pronounce this the British way?

I managed to log in well before the authenticator maintenance began, but was suddenly disconnected at 1am PST (with that disconcerting "despawning" of all NPCs around me), and I still can't get in past the "busy" login server.
Lorderan Mar 17th 2010 4:39AM
Login server still down for me. Supposedly past the the down time.
Anyone else having problems?
Zhiva Mar 17th 2010 4:43AM
Same in Europe. 40 minutes past announced downtime, and I still cannot login on forums >.<
sprlmnl Mar 17th 2010 4:41AM
just a heads up: you're notice says PST/EST but Blizz's says PDT/EST.
and it looks like they might have gone a bit long. having authentication issues here.
sprlmnl Mar 17th 2010 4:42AM
errr.... make that PDT/EDT for Blizz.
Sinanju Mar 17th 2010 4:43AM
Same here. 4:43 here and still having login issues.
