We will be bringing all realms down at 5am PDT (Oceanic realms will be brought down at 12pm PDT) to address an issue with Death Knight creation. The restarts should only take approximately 15 minutes to complete. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

The majority of the realms have come back online and are available for play at this time. Any further issues will be communicated via a new thread specific to that issue.

We appreciate your patience in this matter.
