THE END OF OUR "ADDITIONAL INSTANCES CANNOT BE LAUNCHED" WOES IS NYE GENTLEMEN!!!!!!!!

Coinciding with the launch of Arena Season 7, Koralon the Flame Watcher will be activated in the western wing of Wintergrasp Fortress and awaiting the controlling faction. Koralon will drop loot for slots similar to Emalon, which includes both raiding tier items and PvP gear. Both 10- and 25-player versions will drop Emblems of Triumph as well. See you in Wintergrasp!

All these maintenance push backs better be worth it.

All these maintenance push backs better be worth it.

If they fix the instance launching issue, it will be.

[Turducken]

They won't, you silly gooses.

The other realms that were already fixed (instance issue) took 2 days of maintenance. They all had an additional Wednesday to wrap up whatever they were doing. And today, Wednesday, ZJ is down again for maintenance until 11am (So, like, 5pm Blizzard time). I am really hopeful this will be the 2-day maintenance similar to what happened to the first half of the realms they fixed a few weeks ago. Because, honestly, this is out of hand and it's been happening for 3 months. They should have put in a queue (similar to the BG system) to ease the pain while they scheduled all the hardware tweaks to permanently fix it.
