Friday Downtime...

'We will be performing maintenance on all realms beginning at 5:00 a.m. PST to bring the arena system back online. We anticipate this process will last no more than 4 hours. Your continued patience is appreciated.'

Yeah, no more than four hours... Unless, of course, it lasts more than four hours.

Only an hour over... Guess it's better than nothing. Looks like arenas are still disabled though.

WG seems to be back up and not crashing the server... have you been noticing WG lag though?

[Chamomile]

Only was on for a little bit while I did the cooking dailies. I did get some strange lag briefly while making some deer dead for their chilly meats, but it could have been something on my end.

There didn't seem to be any real lag when I was on around 11:00ish, but that could just be me.

Posting just to post since I can now post!

I also noticed that with Wintergrasp, they added the functionality of the southern towers and workshops!
...and without being defended, they're pretty easy to take out. This seems to reduce the effectiveness of the offense, and bolster the defenders, but I'm not sure how much.
