All realms will be offline for scheduled maintenance.

Thank you,

So much for Blizzard implementing Live Maintenance in WoW to bring an end to Patch Tuesdays! The WoW Realm Status forums page has nothing further to add at this time."

    This is only a story if you make something up about them eliminating maintenance days in the first place. Thats not what they said.

    What they actually said is that they were working on reducing the number of maintenance days by doing some things while the realms were live, and that they were trying it for the first time December 26.

    Somehow that got morphed by people into "there will never be another maintenance day," which is flat out wrong.
