Realm Status
his page lists all available World of Warcraft Realms as well as the status of each. A Realm can be listed as either  Up or  Down.

Additionally, as some realms are experiencing queues on a regular basis, they are flagged with a population set to "Full". These Realms are considered "technically full" and they should NOT be used when it comes to creating a new character.
Please choose a realm pointed out by the population set to "Recommended" when you want to create a new character.

Let us apologize in advance if your Realm is listed as down. Chances are we're working diligently to bring it back online as quickly as possible.

Generally, technical maintenance is carried out on the realms once every two weeks. This maintenance usually commences around 5am, and ends at 11am (Paris time) on Wednesday morning. During this time, all realms are unavailable.

On alternate weeks, rolling restarts of the realms are carried out instead of this maintenance. Each realm will be rebooted, and thus unavailable for a short period of time. The rolling restarts usually commence around 5am Paris time Wednesday morning with the first realms being rebooted, and conclude around 8am when last realms are rebooted in turn.

Sometimes patches are applied to the game to add content or correct bugs. In these cases, maintenance will usually commence around 3am and conclude at 11am on Wednesday (Paris time), but these times are flexible.
