World of Warcraft maintenance: 20 realms bite the dust - Image 1Drooling Ent Drysc just announced that about two dozen U.S. World of Warcraft realms will have to undergo "urgent" maintenance. The estimated time of server unavailability was set at two hours, following a brief uptime of about a minute.

Then like every other Tuesday since the new maintenance schedule, all Hell broke loose.

If you didn't catch it, we'll reiterate: Blizzard underestimated their efforts and claimed that all servers were up and running fine. Unfortunately, it didn't even take a minute of the second 15 minute downtime warning prior to shutting down the server and review what they've overlooked.

20 realms are a waste of space to list vertically, so we'll do it the harder way. Just don't get cross-eyed on us, folks. The following World of Warcraft realms have issues to be sorted out for the moment: Aerie Peak, Altar of Storms, Alterac Mountains, Anvilmar, Arygos, Blackwing Lair, Deathwing, Demon Soul, Doomhammer, Gnomeregan, Icecrown, Jaedenar, Kel'Thuzad, Lethon, Onyxia, Sentinels, Tanaris, The Venture Co, Uldaman and Undermine.

» Well...

It happened on Monday AND Tuesday.



The group of servers listed above, in the article, ate it Monday night around 9PM EST and were down for about an hour. There were all kinds of problems even after they came back up.



Then, on Tuesday, after the maintenance, the same thing happened to the same exact group of servers.



I survived both with limited loss of XP :)
