Upcoming Realms Connections on September 29th

Blizzard

Following regularly scheduled weekly maintenance on Tuesday, September 29, the following realms will be taken offline. During this additional maintenance period:

The Exodar and Medivh realms will be connected to the Alleria and Khadgar realms.

As many players know, this connection was previously planned and ran into issues.

On Tuesday, we’ll begin the additional maintenance period for these four realms at 8:00 am. PDT (11:00 a.m. EDT), and the realms will come back online when the connection process is completed, which we’re estimating to be around 4:00 p.m. PDT (7:00 p.m. EDT).

Comment by VynistraLol 'issues' being an understatement.Comment by juniordlukCome on! We brazillians are campaining for realm connections for like 3 months now.Comment by CellricSadly I’d say yeah.. most likely no pre patch this Tuesday.Comment by DoomRevenantIdk who thought it was happening on the 29th, but that's way to soon. They wouldn't have a prepatch in literally 3 days without announcing it first. I obviously couldn't tell you when the prepatch is going live, but expect that it won't be until at least a week after the date is announced.Comment by SnowfaeDoes this connection taking place on a speculated Pre-Patch date mean that the Pre-Patch is not this Tuesday?
Comment by Ailwuful................................................................................... crap. This saddens me.Comment by donnirNo pre-patch this week - probs mid-Oct as I would imagine Blizz wanna finish the realm connection project first IMO.Comment by Matrixwolfall realms down till 4pm sonud like pre-patchComment by RogrutamazMerge the Magtheridon clusterComment by CellricIf that’s true then it brings my hopes up that the pre patch will be coming out this Tuesday.Comment by SnowfaeThen again, since we all have the prepatch data already loaded on our computers, is it that big a stretch that the servers may as well and Blizz just has to bring them down, flip a switch, and reload?Comment by Redemption86In Europe they unpinned our connected realm thread on the EU EN forums, they've said nothing but half our servers are still low pop.Comment by etherealantlersall realms down till 4pm sonud like pre-patchComment by Chartechlol yeah lets add alliance heavy realms to two other alliance heavy realms...perfectly balanced...cant wait for my character to get deleted againComment by KelareishMid October seems unrealistic giving only two weeks of pre-patch before expansion release. 6 October would be more likely giving players the normal 3-4 weeks of pre-patch to figure out character changes, complete the quest lines, and finish up with the season. The four weeks was why people speculated next Tuesday in the first place. However, with no announcement this week, I agree that the patch will not be released on the 29th.Comment by Oxyiawhy are people still debating this? patch will be october 6-7 it's pretty obvious by now.Comment by StregoborCome on! We brazillians are campaining for realm connections for like 3 months now.Comment by KachiryI don't know about 3 months, but it's been more than a month, yeah. I don't know why is it so hard for them to notice usComment by SilverDragon234Release prepatch on 29thComment by TntdruidSo in 2021 we only have 1 big server left?
