World Of Warcraft: Urgent Realm Maintenance

Chances are, if you are on the list of realms this affects you already know of this news, but we're posting it here for the blissfully unaware (that and it's a slow news day). Here's the scoop:

After conferring with our hardware vendor, we have determined a need for hardware replacement. We have placed an order for the replacement parts and are expecting their delivery by 5:00 PM PDT. However, we are working on a temporary solution by using some on site hardware to bring the affected realms back up. We are currently hoping to have this accomplished in approximately 2 hours time, and will provide an update of our progress within the next hour.

We apologize for any inconvenience that this maintenance may have caused and appreciate your continued patience as we work to resolve this issue.
