Realm maintenance has been extended until 2 p.m. 4 p.m. 5 p.m. PDT according to Blizzard due to unforeseen complications, potentially to fix a good amount of the known issues with patch 4.0.1. While you wait, read up on the patch 4.0.1 changes with our comprehensive roundup, and check out our awesome contests for patch day!

Re: Extended Realm Maintenance 10/12/2010
We are in the final stages of completing the maintenance process and will begin bringing realms online shortly. We currently anticipate all realms will be online by 5:00PM PDT and appreciate your continued patience.

This is it! Patch 4.0.1 begins the slide into December’s upcoming expansion. It’s a whole new game from here on out. Get oriented with our roundup of everything there is to know about patch 4.0.1 and how it changes the game until the launch of World of Warcraft: Cataclysm.

Welcome to the Server Maintenance Party: Battle for Eastern Plaguelands! We are done with the gathering, let the PvP begin! Or at least the running around and standing in towers — we’ll at least get that done. Will the Alliance show up and attack? I don’t know!

Join us in game (here are the details) or watch the stream on our Justin.tv channel. I’m narrating as usual. Whether this turns out to be an enormous battle or a funky dance party, it’s going to be fun.

For the Horde!

Please join us on Zangarmarsh (US-PvE-H) in <It came from the Blog>. Guild ranks of “Blog Lurker” or above can invite, so /whisper Robiness or any online member. You are all welcome as long as you play by our simple rules — basically, don’t be a funsucker! Visit the guild FAQ for more details.

Don’t forget, tonight we are hosting another Server Maintenance Party on Zangarmarsh (US-PvE). I will also be streaming the event on WoW.com’s Justin.tv channel. Above is Robinella’s message to all Alliance.

Here are the details:

  • When: Tuesday, Aug 17, 10:30 p.m. EDT (7:30 p.m. PDT, 8:30 p.m. realm time) to meet and greet. 11 p.m. EDT for the actual event and stream.
  • Where: Meet at Light’s Hope Chapel on Zangarmarsh (US-PvE-H)
  • How: Ask Robinella or any <It came from the Blog> guild member for an invite to the guild. Ranks of Blog Lurker or above can invite.
  • What: We will be attempting to complete Bolstering Our Defenses, following a plan to be discussed in guild chat at the time of the event (in case Alliance spies are reading this).
  • Who: Any level Horde character is invited to participate, but you will have more fun at level 58 or higher.

Please read the rules and tips for the event before you join us. All non-funsuckers are welcome.

Server Maintenance Party: Battle for Eastern Plaguelands

Posted on by

More realms are undergoing 24-hour maintenance starting just after midnight tonight PDT, and therefore it is time for another server maintenance party. You voted for a PvP theme, so we will be defending the Eastern Plaguelands. I will also be streaming the event on our Justin.tv channel so that those who cannot participate can still watch. Here are the details:

  • When: Tuesday, Aug 17, 10:30 p.m. EDT (7:30 p.m. PDT, 8:30 p.m. realm time) to meet and greet. 11 p.m. EDT for the actual event and stream.
  • Where: Meet at Light’s Hope Chapel on Zangarmarsh (US-PvE-H)
  • How: Ask Robinella or any <It came from the Blog> guild member for an invite to the guild. Ranks of Blog Lurker or above can invite.
  • What: We will be attempting to complete Bolstering Our Defenses, following a plan to be discussed in guild chat at the time of the event (in case Alliance spies are reading this).
  • Who: Any level Horde character is invited to participate, but you will have more fun at level 58 or higher.

While any level who makes the trek to join us is welcome, I highly recommend making a death knight to participate if you don’t have a high-level character already on Zangarmarsh. This is a PvP event, so there will be some Alliance resistance — and that will be part of the fun. But even if we have awesomely diligent healers, they will not be able to save low-levels from being one-shot. The event starts late enough in the evening tomorrow so that most people will have enough time to make a DK.

More tips and rules are after the break.

24-hour maintenance announced for more realms

Posted on by
Reply
Blizzard has announced on the loading screen another round of 24-hour maintenance for select realms to happen on Tuesday. This is part of the continuing plan to upgrade all servers before Cataclysm. The servers not listed will be undergoing normal maintenance, though that often means that those servers’ downtime will also be extended at least a couple of hours. We shall see.

Of course, this means that we’re going to have to have another WoW.com Server Maintenance Party. Since neither Shadow Council (US-RP-A) nor Zangarmarsh (US-PvE-RP) will be affected, we have our choice of realms. So the question is …

View Poll

Polls close Sunday and we’ll announce the event details on Monday. Expect the event to take place around 10:30 p.m. EDT (7:30 p.m. PDT) Tuesday night. I will also be streaming the event on WoW.com’s Justin.tv channel.

The full announcement from Blizzard is after the break.

It came from the Blog: Server Maintenance Party snapshots

Posted on by

Previous to last Tuesday night, the most people showing up for an <It came from the Blog> event was about 250 (estimated), and usually no more than 100 showed up. I have no idea how many people showed up to the Server Maintenance Party, but it was in the hundreds. Multiple hundreds. Lots and lots of people showed up to steal the Alliance fires. Soooo many. You raid leaders think it’s hard to herd 25 cats? Try several hundred. I’m still a bit in shock.

Also, as you can see/hear above, I streamed the event. I like Ustream for streaming, but there is an audio delay in my ear that is a bit bothersome. This is why it sounds like I’m having a stroke at the beginning. I’m not. I just hadn’t gotten into the swing of ignoring the delay yet. My brain is fine. Mostly. It also only recorded the first 20 minutes. Boo!

Some event highlights and a gallery are after the break.

Early maintenance announcement includes 24 hour downtime for select realms

Posted on by

Blizzard’s already let us know the scheduled downtime for Tuesday, June 29th, quite a bit ahead of their usual late Monday night announcement time. Right now, most realms can expect a normal downtime window of 5 AM to 11 AM Pacific time on Tuesday, June 29th. However, it is time for the next batch of US servers to go down for 24 hours, from 12:01 AM, June 29th to 12:01 AM Wednesday, June 30th.

As with the first batch, the 24-hour downtime will likely be used to get the servers in shape for Cataclysm’s launch, and if we’re lucky, should mean less downtime in the first few days and weeks as everyone comes in to check out the new content.

Check out the full list of servers with extended downtime behind the break:
