In yet another sure sign that we're all ready for the refreshing changes that Sanrio will bring to the online gaming world, Extended Maintenance continues. Right now, Bornakk's telling us that we'll have to wait until 2pm PDT for the realms to be bought back online. The Realm Status page reveals that a few realms have come back up, but it remains to be seen if they're stable. We'll keep an eye out for you and tell you what WoW's up to. Hopefully we'll be back on the flipside in 15 minutes or so.
Of course, we all know that WoW is just filling that empty void in our souls that will only be truly healed when Hello Kitty Online is finally released, or at least put in Open Beta.
Update: While a few more servers are up, almost none of them are anything close to stable, and many servers remain down. Bornakk is currently promising another update at 3:00 PDT.
Update 2: It looks like at 4:40 PDT, all realms are up and ready for play again.

I bet the HKO servers wouldn't be having this problem.

Silver Hand came up for a bit around 12 server time, but apparently the server either crashed or was taken down shortly afterwards. It's now about 2:10 and still not back up. Looks like most of the servers are having the same issue.

NO, not stable -- Gorefiend was up, lagged (and killed me) and then kicked us all.
AH, weekly maintenance -- how Blizz ensures that realms are stable and our gameplay is uninterrupted by technical problems. Um... what?

This does suck. Even attempting to go to the WoW home page locks up my Firefox.
Blizzard hates us.

And now Cenarius is just plain down...I understand that this stuff happens...(and it's an excuse to watch some baseball) but I'd still like my free day:)
then again, if I had an afternoon raid or instance planned I'd be a lot more upset...I guess I'd rather not play WoW then play HKO.

Remember the free transfers to Muradin? Well, Muradin was up and running @1:00pm PDT, and showed population of High / Locked when I went to log in. Since most of my toons are on that server, I got in anyway, and there was a Horde (heh) of level 1's running around. Guess that will be the end of free transfers to Muradin then, eh?
