Realms up after extended maintenance

by Adam Holisky Dec 2nd 2008 at 4:00PM

Realms are back up after a bit of extended maintenance this afternoon. There has been no communication from the blues or other Blizzard sources as to why the downtime was extended.

But with that said, all the realms are working and things appear to be going smoothly. And by smooth I mean I still have the mail in my in-box from when the servers went down this morning.

So that's a good thing, right?

Are the oozes/Hydra/Ghost croc still tameable?

I'm betting that's why they had extended maitenence.

Heh, people are going to be paranoid about their in-game mail for a long time I think.

Everyone seems to be getting "Internal auction error." when using the auction house on my realm. You'd think these things would be on a checklist ;P

Oddly enough my bank alt had a couple of emails at the end of his mail list (i.e. not new mails) from Auctions that successfully sold. Problem is, I didn't have any auctions for these items in the recent past. I'd sold them a while back but thought I had gotten paid for them. Even odder, the emails had an expiration date of 35 days. A few other people in trade had the same kind of mails. Perhaps, as someone suggested in trade, these are a few stray mails that Blizzard cleaned up since the last email debacle?

Same here! I got a whopping 10g from a few "Successful Auctions" that I don't even remember posting, as I have moved that duty completely over to my bank alt for a while now.

I seem to have lost all of my expired auctions that expired during the maintenance which is like close to 300 glyphs :-(

I still say that if Blizzard would give us more bank space at resonable rates they wouldn't have to incur the overhead of us storing all this stuff in the mail system. Mail is incredibly cost inefficient, you have to keep up with to, from, sent, attachments and expiry date. Just let us have some more bag slots and we'll be happy - until next year.

Realms are back up? Awesome! I'll jump right on...after I get home from work.

me too I have about 10 meta gems on the AH last night and now they are not in the mail box or AH.

You really should take my account name off the screenshot ;).

All my auctions are missing, between mats, enchants and armor upgrades I lost like 1000g

mattarin Dec 2nd 2008 5:22PM

Its funny the last extended maitance i lost all my auctions i won in the AH and with this extenede maitance i got them all back today. So maybe thats why the maitance was extended.

Amaxe Dec 2nd 2008 6:41PM

I had a few auctions that I don't remember, but back when it crashed I was basically trying to sell all the crap I had before the market tanked for LK, and I could not possibly remember it all. I think I got some 80g.

Maintenence took longer than originally announced, but less than the second estimate, so it was annoying at the time, but not worth my bitching about it.

Am enjoying the Sons of Hodir questline here, though I needed a break (it is so long)
