Several realms (Andorhal, Anetheron, Archimonde, Dalaran, Dentarg, Duskwood, Executus, Haomarush, Khadgar, Mal'Ganis, Scilla, Steamwheedle Cartel, Turalyon, Ysera, Ysondre, and Zuluhed) were brought down tonight for urgent maintenance around 5:15 PST with a note that expected downtime was to be minimal. The servers seemed to pop up online again not so long after but the uptime doesn't seem to have last - around 6:30 PST most (all?) are offline again. Oddly, all of these servers appear to be those running on new hardware...

US Realm Migration Ahead of Schedule
So reports CM Drysc.
Only sixteen servers (of the original thirty-two) remain offline, and these still could remain offline for the full 24
hours. However, the progress with so many realms is promising news. The remaining offline realms are as
follows:Andorhal, Anetheron, Archimonde, Dalaran, Dentarg, Duskwood, Executus, Haomarush, Khadgar, Mal'Ganis, Scilla, Steamwheedle Cartel, Turalyon, Ysera, Ysondre, and Zuluhed
Server Downtime Thursday
Blizzard is rolling out new hardware for
several US realms this Thursday, and the process of transferring the realms means - you guessed it, extensive
downtime. The migration will begin on Thursday at 12:01 AM PST and may last as long as 24 hours. Those of
you on effected realms will receive an extra day's credit to your account, which is, I suppose, better than
nothing. Following the migration, Blizzard plans to open character transfers from existing realms to new realms
(yet to be opened) to further help with performance and overcrowding issues.Realms transferring to new hardware are Archimonde, Dalaran, Khadgar, and Mal'Ganis.
Other affected realms include Aggramar, Andorhal, Anetheron, Burning Blade, Burning Legion, Dentarg, Duskwood, Earthen Ring, Eonar, Eredar, Executus, Gilneas, Gorefiend, Haomarush, Kargath, Laughing Skull, Lightning's Blade, Llane, Malygos, Scilla, Shadow Moon, Steamwheedle Cartel, Thunderhorn, Thunderlord, Turalyon, Ysera, Ysondre, and Zuluhed. While these realms are not receiving a hardware upgrade, Tseric explains that current equipment configuration requires this.
Update: The schedule has been pushed back to Thursday.
Hope for the Pirates?
There's been a lot of
frustration among those who spent time factioning up with the Bloodsail Buccaneers - which automatically lowers your
standing with the Steamwheedle Cartel. Those who made the grind to get revered with
the pirates to get their pirate hat are now discovering that they're unable to acquire their Dungeon 2 armor set,
because the second step of the quest requires you to visit Gadgetzan, where loyal Bloodsails are attacked on
sight. To those contemplating the slow grind back to good standing with the Goblins, Tigole offers a ray of hope
- patch 1.11 will feature several
quests that will help Bloodsails return to good standing with Goblins throughout Azeroth.
