I recently upgraded my main computer, and will be using the extra parts (processor, RAM, what-have-you) for a server upgrade. However, I will be going on vacation again on the 2nd of September, so I'm a bit hesitant to go ahead with anything big like that when I'm going to be gone after two days for a bit.
At any rate, this should ideally mean less server lag (remember, if you have had bad latency, this undoubtedly won't really change much in that regard) and potentially faster zone loading. We shall see!
I'll post something in the Server Status Updates forum about an hour before I take the server offline if I end up going through with it on Monday, and the estimated downtime will indeed be several hours, as I need to reinstall the operating system (actually update to an x64 OS to handle the doubling of the RAM, since the current one is only 32-bit).

Here's to hoping everything works out well.

Hate to be "that guy", but are we talking 1-3 "several hours" or 5-8 "several hours" ?

x64 Installations can take anywhere from 45 minutes to two hours, including resetting up system settings and networking. Expect 3-4 hours, I would guess.

I logged on literally 10 seconds before the server shut down, and this was after my first day at school.
If I can live through it, then you can too!

Does this have anything to do with this error?:

That's just what happens when the server's offline.
Does it for me too.

My my. This ought to be nice.
Sure looks like you're taking care of bizzniss, too.
Hmmm... You don't have to reinstall WoW, do you? That would make me cry. :P

No it's not. It just kicked me off when I tried to log in, and now I can't get back!
