I checked some logs and it seems PTRs haven't really gone down, they were just gone from the realmlist which could lead one to assume the maintenance was login server/realmlist related instead. Which, seeing they're the same login servers that Alpha/Beta always use... there might be something that can be deduced from that.

Maybe racial traits is something that some players wanna test before paying for a race change...
Allied races are already on test realm, if Blizzard wanted, they could let test them, even if there is no certainty that these traits would not be changed during Alpha/Beta...

Maintenance extended till 5, RIP. Looks like they couldn't fix their server problem from the PTR in time (assuming that's what's causing the delay).

So when do we start asking if 7.3.5 was rushed out unfinished to get the updated Shifting Sands event in?
I'm joking... mostly.
Though boy this has to be one of the worst patch launches in a few years now.
