Get your play time in and make sure to finish all your raids and instances before 3:00am PDT as Blizzard poster Adidan has announced that Tuesday's regular maintenance will be an extended one. We aren't expecting a new patch (a Wrath surprise? We wish!), so the expected downtime of 8 hours from 3:00am to 11:00am PDT seems to be nothing beyond the standard. For those in Beta, it's likely that the Northrend and Lich King will be down for a new build, too, so you'll have to figure out something to do with your downtime like the rest of us mortals (such as read WoW Insider, for example).

Ah, I'm fondly remembering the days that we used to get quick rolling restarts instead of the 8-hour standard maintenance cycle. The past two Tuesdays have been patch days on US realms, and we're coming off of extended-patch downtime with a regular maintenance schedule this week. What does all this fancy talk mean to you? It means that all US realms are going to be down from 3:00 AM PST to 11:00 AM PST (or 6:00 AM EST to 2:00 PM EST) today for what Blizzard considers to be regular maintenance. Perhaps we'll get lucky next week with 15 minute downtimes for rolling restarts.
