Realm maintenance for Tuesday, Nov. 29

Update: Blizzard has changed the maintenance times and confirmed patch 4.3 for tomorrow.
Realm maintenance this week is an eight-hour stint beginning at 1:00 a.m. Pacific and ending at 9:00 a.m. Pacific for all U.S. realms. This maintenance includes the game as well as many of the web services; we may be looking at a little forum downtime with the game downtime tomorrow morning.
While there's been no official announcement, the eight-hour window may indicate that we're looking at the release for patch 4.3 tomorrow, which would set us up nicely for the new Darkmoon Island event the following week. If you've been patiently (or not so patiently, like me) waiting for void storage, transmogrification, new instances, new raids and more, you may not have much longer to wait.

Brace yourselves for what could be some of most exciting updates to the game recently with patch 4.3. Review the official patch notes, and then dig into what's ahead: new item storage options, cross-realm raiding, cosmetic armor skinning and your chance to battle the mighty Deathwing -- from astride his back!

Thank you for your patience.

For down rating into oblivion? Yeah, sure.
On topic: it's about time.

I...would like the patch to wait a month!
I know, I'm weird. 2-3 weeks would be enough for us to get to 6/7 Heroic Firelands (not gonna worry about Rags) and finish our Dragonwrath. Yeah, we could just do it anyway, but we won't. Gotta do what's NEW. Heh.
Oh well, I am excited for the new stuff too! :)

Confirmed that 4.3 hits NA on Tuesday :)

Add in Bashiok's latest tweet: Have you completed a background download of 4.3? Now would be a good time to check.
Dan Nov 28th 2011 6:55PM
Translation: The patch is tomorrow, so if you haven't used the background downloader yet, YOU ARE NOT PREPARED.
Andre Nov 28th 2011 6:19PM
YES! FINALLY!
Jlulzing Nov 28th 2011 6:21PM
Well this is the proverbial nail in the speculation coffin.
BrentJackson Nov 28th 2011 6:21PM
Get yourselves prepared people.
The Transmogalypse is upon us!

Hmmm 12pm EST, for estimated uptime, that's pretty good considering how it used to be when they would do patch maintenance, not starting until 9 or 10am EST and lasting til 5 or 6pm EST. Of course back then servers didn't come up on patch days a lot of the time either due to other issues. Hopefully they'll be up on time and working correctly. :)

Well, don't forget that "the servers are technically up" and "the servers are stable enough to play for more than 5 minutes at a time before they crash" are two entirely different things.
And patch day tends to have more of the latter than the former.

Can you say Patch?
Cause that sure does.
Felix_rew Nov 28th 2011 6:24PM
This is pretty much a confirmation that 4.3 is coming out this week then eh
Pyromelter Nov 28th 2011 7:51PM

Arkonn Nov 28th 2011 6:28PM
4.3 Patch day 30/11/11 (EU) and I have the day off work.
Good times :)

Whoa - what kind of crazy date is that?
Silly Europeans... there's no 30th month in the year. :P
PS - Yay patch day!
Deathknighty Nov 28th 2011 6:44PM
Be quiet, our way existed long before yours.
InvincibleGod Nov 28th 2011 6:46PM
Make more sense when you think about it. It is ordered small/medium/large which is unlike ours which is ordered medium/small/large.
Lizenz Nov 28th 2011 6:51PM
I was taught in school to do it the European way. I like it better day/month/year goes in ascending order of length. Month/day/year just seems random. :)
dazziq Nov 28th 2011 6:52PM
Try living between the two regions.
It's a date number nightmare!
But whichever way you prefer writing it, it's a good day for 4.3!
