European server maintenance for June 24th

Lesley, our European writer, is out of our virtual office at the moment and isn't available to write up the EU maintenance notice for all of you. So I'm doing it. To try and make the experience authentic, please read this post in a very poor fake English accent. No, wait! A fake German accent. Yeah, that's way more awesome. Do that.Like the (or should I say das) North American realms, European realms will largely consist of rolling restarts with only a few exceptions, which we'll get to in a moment. Rolling restarts will begin at 05:00 CEST and should be finished by 07:00 CEST.
However, there is a set of realms that will need an extended maintenance period that will begin at 03:00 CEST and last until 15:00 CEST. The affected realms are: Auchindoun, Ghostlands, Hellfire, Karazhan, Nagrand, shattered Halls, Sporeggar, and The Sha'tar.
If you're unsure of what these times are in your time zone, please refer to the World Clock.
Should you need entertainment throughout the maintenance period, just take look at Daniel Whitcomb's latest edition of the Tuesday Morning Post, which rounds up our site's best and brightest posts of the week.
Au revoir!

I was just wondering why some servers are going on extended maintenance.
I'm currently playing on karazhan and I haven't noticed any lag problems or latency issues.
There isn't even a merging with another battlegroup, even if it would be a great thing.
Are there any problems with Vindication? The whole battlegroup is going down lol.

Dragonblight and several others have been up and down all evening. Good to see they're fixing 'em (Y).

All of the Blackout battlegroup realms are down, this is a problem not only concerning those listed up there (Blackout includes realms like Zenedar, Agrammar and a few others) bit worried that they dont seem to be caring too much apart from a "latency issue" warning on login -.- this isnt a latency issue! its the entire server crashing every minute after it comes back up! (I only wish this was a massive exaggeration)

I don't have anything upon login. I'm not sure whether that's a good thing!

Wait... what?
Where did you learn to count? 05:00 - 15:00?
zweitblom Jun 24th 2009 1:04AM
And where did you learn to read?

I assume next week for US maintanance we will have a picture of a fat guy in a NASCAR shirt eating cheese?
Todd Jun 24th 2009 4:16AM
Ehh eating cheese by itself I think is a more european deal. Now if it was a deep fried _____ then that makes more sense with the Nascar crowd.

Tuesdays just aren't good for servers named Auchindoun, are they?
Docrev Jun 23rd 2009 8:33PM
Or maintenance days, rather.
jfofla Jun 23rd 2009 8:35PM
Funny, that is exactly how I thought the Euro WOW player would look.

I have to say das der deutschen accent ist not good faked. There you see that an experienced foreigner you must be in order to really sound like one. Anyway, much thank you for der information uber der europäischen maintenance, even though der are more than only den deutschen realms in europe. According to der Experten, there even are realms in Spanischer language. By der way, I think it also a good idea would be to have spanish realms in the US because you have lot of people who like to talk that. Or can just you use one of der latin amerikanische servers for sis?
Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
Karl der Große
