Mists of Pandaria Classic players should mark their calendars for a brief interruption coming up on August 19th. Blizzard has scheduled a one-hour maintenance window starting at 7:00 A.M. PDT, which means no logging in or questing during that time. For those on EU servers, the downtime will kick off at 03:00 CEST on August 20th.
While one hour isn’t much, it’s enough to cause some mild frustration if you were planning to raid or finish a challenging quest. But hey, these short maintenance breaks are part of keeping things running smoothly under the hood. It’s a small price to pay.
Wonder what exactly they’ll be tinkering with? That info wasn’t shared, so maybe it’s just routine server upkeep or some minor fixes nobody will notice until they’re gone.
For those curious about Blizzard’s regular upkeep, the Weekly Maintenance Schedule might be worth a peek. It lays out when to expect these pauses across Blizzard’s games.
Got plans around that time? Better reschedule. Or take a break, grab a snack, and come back refreshed. Yikes, one hour offline feels like an eternity when you’re deep into the game.
