Check after the break for the full announcement.

We will be performing extended maintenance tomorrow, November 29, for the release of the 4.3: Hour of Twilight patch. The realms will be unavailable from 3:00 a.m. PST until approximately 11:00 a.m. PST.
If your launcher states "World of Warcraft is up to date. Downloading data for the next update." please allow the Background Downloader to continue downloading the 4.3 data. You can ensure it continues even when not playing the game by going to the launcher Options, Downloader Preferences, and checking the box labeled "Download after exiting World of Warcraft". If your launcher only states "World of Warcraft is up to date" then you've already obtained the 4.3 pre-download data and will only need a small update before logging in.

Of course when they mean 11:00 am they really mean 8:00 pm...
K.B. Nov 28th 2011 8:21PM
I wish they would switch to 11:00AM EST
Noyou Nov 28th 2011 8:28PM
Come on now. That hasn't happened post-Cata, since they updated the servers.
raingod Nov 28th 2011 8:32PM
@K.B. Why? is math that hard for for you?
CollinBPage Nov 28th 2011 8:43PM
@raingod
Think about it.. If it was 11am EST it would mean the servers would be going up earlier /facepalm
Lucasman Nov 28th 2011 9:37PM
Yes, because it makes so much sense for a Pacific time zone based company to manage their server maintenance around the time zone they do not operate largely in...*facepalm*
Xantenise Nov 28th 2011 8:08PM
YES. Can't wait to see Murozond and co! Here's hoping my gear's good enough.
Velleekwitay Nov 28th 2011 8:08PM
Do we get a fancy little machinima trailer this time?
Mal Nov 28th 2011 8:14PM
Considering what a huge patch this is, yeah, I'm surprised it's not out already.
Suzaku Nov 28th 2011 8:32PM
The vast majority of patch trailers have been released on either the day of the patch, or the day before.
2.4 and 4.2 were two of the rare exceptions that got released about a week early.
Starlin Nov 29th 2011 2:32AM
Yes, it comes out on worldofwarcraft.com at midnight PST.
Task Nov 28th 2011 8:10PM

K.B. Nov 28th 2011 8:10PM

I am so ready for Transmogalypse and my shiny Tyrael pony. Going to hit the faire, and hit it hard.

Post says 1am, when it's 3am.
Blizzard switched it themselves.
