We’re now estimating that we’ll complete this work by 12:00 Midnight PDT.

That’s 2:00 a.m. CDT, 3:00 a.m. EDT, 3:00 p.m. AWST, 5:00 p.m. AEST, and 7:00 p.m. NZST.

Thank you very much for your continued patience and understanding.

It looks like that’s because we’ve never done anything like this in World of Warcraft, where we’re basically turning one game into two games and we need every player-character in both games to be perfectly playable as they all were just before maintenance started.

Please know this: there’s a good reason for how long it’s taking, and our live operations team are making solid progress toward a resolution.

There are jobs that copy data and jobs that check the integrity of data and there’s an immense amount of data to process before we even begin the steps that we take to check everything manually. It’s not possible for us to lose anything, but it is possible for us to have an issue that requires a step to be repeated. In today’s case, the step we had to start over was a big one. While performing data integrity checks on the Burning Crusade Classic and Classic Era realms, we discovered an unfortunate issue with all player mail. The nature of the issue necessitated that we restore the portion of the database that contains that information in order to ensure nothing is lost. We’ve been in progress on this restoration for quite some time, but as you can imagine, it’s a huge amount of information.

We apologize for the delay in getting you back into Azeroth. We’re pretty sure we’ll be done in a few hours. It’s impossible to know with certainty, but our understanding of how long it’s going to take is coming into focus.

    just stick to using actual descriptive words like,im being irational,dumb etc
    Ironic that you'd treat Karen as a slur while using ableist words like "dumb."

    ... I'm confused, has it been released? I've seen literally no blow-up. What was the hype on Twitch like?

    Funniest part about this, is i'd imagine a large percentage of the people in this thread crying arent even leveling a BE or draenei, and probably wont. You just feel the need to cry like the pathetic, failed adult you are. Grow up.

    No the PTR doesn’t copy every character over it only Copy’s those you tell it to.

    It also only copies a small portion of the character data to make it quicker and easier. PTR character copies don't include, for example, achievements. Or mail, which is what failed here.

    What? Yes they do. They carry over all mail and most achievements. There's certain things like previously deleted transmogs that won't transfer but the vast majority of things do.
