World of Warcraft®

Oh, and in the interest of disclosure -
I freakin panicked for a few minutes and started calculating how much it was going to cost me to move everyone.

I kinda feel sorry for how much Cenarion Circle is being jerked about with all this merge here connect there and then nothing. Its sad to see my former home server being so yanked about. Anyways I wish you all well and I hope you all well and good from a former member of CC.

Actually I think the connection to Sisters may still be a go. They are shutting CC down tomorrow to move the server to the LA datacenter. So, probably, this means shortly SoE could be connected to it.

That was my guess, either that or upgrading the hamsters in the servers so that they would play nicely with the hamsters in Sisters of Elune.

Source for this?

Blizzard's ongoing Connected Realms process not only connects realms together, but is also consolidating the 4 datacenters down into just 2. As New York datacenter realms get connected, they get moved to the Chicago datacenter. As Phoenix dc realms get connected, they get moved to Los Angeles dc. IPs, battlegroups, and even some timezones get changed.

Looks like after July 31, there will be 5 left in New York, and 4 left in Phoenix.

Cenarian Circle, after today, will be in Los Angeles, SoE still in Phoenix, so they should be connected in the Los Angeles DC.

i highly doubt that MG gets merged w/ anyone just because of how massive that server is.

we're not getting merged with anyone today, we just have maintenance. Also, why is our server down at 9 am server time?

The maintenance says until 11am server.

ooooooooh, crap, ty, Izby. For some reason I thought it was tonight. : /

Also, amusingly enough, it appears to have broken all our armory pages for the moment.

That likely has to do with the fact that they are transferring our realm to another server, meaning the entire world is temporarily offline and inaccessible. Armory pages would need a cache system that's pretty amazing to not do referential call backs to verify data.

I thought we weren't getting merged today? It doesn't say anything about CC doing that.

We're getting MOVED, not merged.

The merge, if at all, will come after the move.

When I said server I was strictly speaking of the mechanical not the digital realms. As Korigal stated, we are moving from one data center to another so they have to transfer our realm to another server in the new data center. That time period would mean our realm will be offline in that time. No worries, they should be finishing soon.

Anyone else nervously refreshing the Realm Status page?
Possibly while chanting "please don't break, please don't break, please don't break..."?

Realms that haved been moved or merged in the past tend to be without Armory access for up to a month, so could be a while before that's back.

I like having the iLvL of 'Oops'

And now our server is completely gone from the listing. Not to sound panicky, but...

Neither are the other realms that had maintenance w/ us.
