The following was posted not long ago in the World of Warcraft Forums:
Hello everyone. The server team has just gotten back to me with some information that Id like to share with you.
The Eastern and Central servers have just been restarted. It appears that every server in this cluster is running smoothly with the new changes that have been made. We will be taking care of the Pacific and Mountain servers shortly.
However, in order to monitor the changes and make sure everything gets up to speed in working order, the player “cap” is set lower than it usually is to prevent undue strain. Well be increasing the caps slowly back up to normal as things progress during the evening.
Thank you all for being patient with us today and for bearing with us through the rest of the server restoration. We hope to have everything back up and running normally soon. 🙂 – Caydiem –
