We will be performing rolling restarts for our weekly maintenance on Tuesday, February 1st, beginning at 05:00 AM PST. Downtime for each realm is expected to be minimal, and the overall process should conclude at approximately 06:00 AM PST.

Thank you for your patience.

On a more serious note, what is the difference between "rolling restarts" and "maintenance", apart from the downtime? What are they "rolling", exactly?Comment by jaq1010"Rolling" refers to the fact that they don't shut down all the servers at once, but move from server farm to server farm, if memory serves.Comment by InterestI bet Blizzard did it intentionally.On a more serious note, what is the difference between "rolling restarts" and "maintenance", apart from the downtime?
