Is anyone else getting this message today? It’s 11:05 am where I am and the servers should be back up now from maintenance but I can’t get in and get the message that no servers are currently available.

I got server queue of 4, 3, 2. 1 you have been discontinued.
The server maintenance was updated, in the Server Status section. It appears it was extended by 30 minutes.

Well that figures. I wonder if they’re going to keep extending how long for maintenance a few more times like they’ve done in the past.
They might if they need to. They don’t enjoy keeping the servers down. There is no gleeful dancing and singing over the pain of bored customers trying to log in 
heh. I would rather they get things fixed and stable.
I am also really glad we have such short down times these days. The 12 hours EVERY Tues + a day of instability use to be the rule. Nobody ever raided on Tues as a result of it.
Also, glad to see the Launcher news was updated with the time change for Maint.

We try to make sure the usual locations all receive updates as soon as we learn there will be an extension. Sometimes last minute steps take longer than expected or a technical issue comes up which means we end up updating the times right at the last minute 
Our goal, as always, is to provide as much of a heads up as possible about maintenance times. Sorry this week ran a little longer than originally scheduled.
Realms should be up now but we expect with a large number of users all hitting the servers at the same time that there may be performance issues as resources catch up to demand.
The game team keeps a close eye on all the services following maintenance to catch and address anything unexpected.

Weekly maintenance seems to go as planned 90% of the time or more, so these minor inconveniences really shouldn’t be a big deal. Players were updated on the new expected completion time and they met it. Any complaining at this point feels like first world problems…

I was wondering. I got logged in OK but when to fly somewhere and now stuck in an endless Instance Not Found loop on a flight path. Keeps dropping my into a pool in Ardenweld with other people on the flight paths. I see them hovering in the air like we are all stuck in time. Can’t move, hearth etc. Guess we will wait to see what happens.
It has been pointed out various times when these threads pop up seemingly every Tuesday, indeed. Everyone always seems to conveniently forget the rest of the time when maintenance goes smoothly and quickly, and that what they’re experiencing generally isn’t a universal experience.

Give it a few more minutes. It should clear.
This tends to just be human nature. When you have a normal experience, it’s blended into memory and forgotten because that’s what you expected to happen. When you have a bad experience, you tend to recall it more vividly.
When I was growing up working at a movie theater, the management always drilled into our heads: You can have great snacks, a flawless presentation of the film… But if the bathroom is dirty, that’s all they remember.
So, I don’t fault folks for forgetting when maintenance ends ahead of schedule most weeks
