** Upcoming EU Region Maintenance & Update - 1:00am GMT/2:00am BST 4/7/12 **

[Amary]

Good evening, Europe!

The EU region shards will be going offline for an update plus the server restructuring maintenance at 1:00am GMT/2:00am GMT. Right now we're giving a broad downtime estimate of ** 4 hours ** but as always with these sort of maintenances, the time can come in shorter or longer depending on how things move along. I'll be providing status updates in this thread tonight during the maintenance.

Patch notes will also be posted as usual for the update.

EU Shards are coming down for this maintenance period now.

The EU shard maintenance period is underway - I'll be checking in every 30 minutes or so with status updates although things will be pretty quiet for the first hour or two.

[Amary]

Things are still moving along - this maintenance is taking place separately from the NA shard issues and updates so has not been impacted. Nothing new, just making headway!

[Amary]

You will probably not be surprised to hear -- maintenance is still ongoing.

Nearing the end of the maintenance window, you might see shards showing up as Locked for a bit - we've still got some configuring to do, though!

[Amary]

Shards are locked and being validated now.

EU shards are now unlocked, and on their brand new MEGAWARGROUP.
