  23. Not just a reboot. on World of Warcraft Tuesday Maintenance A Thing of the Past · · Score: 1

My only concern is that it will generate lag during the online maintenance time (my 'peak' time, due to living in Australia), but honestly, it would only be in the time that the realm would otherwise have been offline.
