Beta realms are currently down for maintenance. I'll be updating this thread with information and time estimates as I receive them.

Currently the estimate is between 4-6 hours from this post.

These threads are pretty relaxed but please keep it respectful and constructive.

Thank you Sapperwix. Anything new you can tell us?

Edit: New as in anything new being put in.

No new content with this push, just a week's round of bug fixes and polish.

is the jade forest gonna be back up in this patch?

No, it's down for the next 3 months.

Much less than that. I don't have an exact date but I can promise less than that.

Sapper, so whats for lunch/dinner today? I just had me a roast beef sandwich. How 'bout you?

Couple hot dogs, no bun, mustard and relish.

Undercooked banana bread and home-grown strawberries, mmm.

That sounds amazing, almost like a banana bread pudding then.

Well you could always post about it in the Bug Report Forums:

Just sayin'

Sapper, could you possibly shed some light on the cross-realm zone situation?

We are aware of the major issues with shared realms. They should be more stable in the upcoming build but we're still improving and iterating on the system.

So sapper, go into Stormwind and pop a level 999 Kil'Jaeden to kill everyone.

Maybe when we end the beta :)

Would estimate about 2 hours or less from this post.

Sapper when do you think Raids will become avaible for testing, and wondering what are your thoughts on wands being the strongest caster item in game?

Soon, within the next few weeks. As we've done in the past it'll open up boss by boss.

And no real idea on wands.

Well there ya go, as you may have noticed I'm not really the "official announcement" guy. So yeah, starting at the end of this week.

Realms should be coming up within the next 10 minutes.
