It’s a quick Tuesday maintenance for World of Warcraft — Classic Era realms remain offline, but all other WoW servers are back online!

It’s a lightning fast World of Warcraft maintenance this morning, or at least we hope it is. Today’s WoW maintenance is scheduled to be just an hour for all realms, and if that schedule proves true, we’ll be back online before you know it. (So far, the schedule has proven mostly true.)

Here’s the WoW maintenance schedule for Tuesday, February 24:

  • Midnight: Offline from 7am – 8am pacific (10am – 11am eastern)
  • Mists of Pandaria Classic: Offline from 7am – 8am pacific (10am – 11am eastern)
  • WoW Classic (including Classic Era, Season of Discovery, and Hardcore realms): Offline from 7am – 8am pacific (10am – 11am eastern)
  • The Burning Crusade Classic Anniversary realms: Offline from 7am – 8am pacific (10am – 11am eastern)

Midnight, Burning Crusade Anniversary, and Mists of Pandaria Classic servers are now back online! WoW Classic Era realms remain offline. There’s no update on when the remaining Classic realms, including Hardcore and Season of Discovery realms, will be back online.

This seems to have been just a quick restart for most realms — Blizzard has told us that modern realms, at least, are holding off on further balance patches until Midnight season 1 launches on March 17 to see how things play out — so most servers came back online quickly on this quiet maintenance day. But Classic Era realms have remained offline past the maintenance window, with no updates from Blizzard (yet). We’re keeping an eye on things and I’ll let you know when we learn more about Classic server status, so stay tuned.

Hopefully I’ll see you in Azeroth soon.
