WoW Europe: Live maintenance sked

World of Warcraft logo - Image 1While the World of Warcraft community in America will be experiencing their new weekly maintenance schedule this Tuesday, March 13, we bring a similar update for WoW‘s European community. According Blizzard spokesman Thundgot over at the WoW Europe official forums:

Tomorrow, Wednesday March 14th, there will be a “live” maintenance. This means that we will only be doing rolling restarts of all realms.
We will be shutting off all realms at 5am CET instead of the usual 4:45am CET, giving all players fifteen minutes notice.
We expect this live maintenance to last between 1 and 1.5 hours.

Now, in case everybody is wondering what else is in store for WoW Europe after this short server downtime, here’s a brief list of the scheduled fixes to be taking place come every weekly maintenance: 

  • Week 1: Rolling restarts (we’re currently here)
  • Week 2: Maintenance
  • Week 3: Patch and maintenance
  • Week 4: Rolling restarts
  • Week 5: Maintenance
  • Week 6: Rolling restarts

Consider this a rough guide for your next few Wednesdays, although Thundgot advises everybody to be aware of any unexpected patch releases – these will require realm downtime, which will in turn reset the listed schedule above. Set your watches, and stay sharp.
