			<description><![CDATA[Late this evening (in about a couple hours, at around 1am Pacific), the VPS provider will be restarting the machine hosting the instance for the server.  This will cause a downtime of about 15-30 minutes for the maintenance they intend to do.  However, I am unsure if I will still be awake by the time it is done.  Furthermore, they advised to shut down any programs that may write to the disk (which the server program does for the database).  Therefore, I will probably be shutting down the server sometime within the next half hour.<br />
<br />
As I mentioned before, I am uncertain if I will still be awake once the maintenance is done (because I have to wake up early for work tomorrow).  If I am still awake, I will start the server up again.  Otherwise, I will try to remember to start it again before heading off to work tomorrow morning!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Late this evening between midnight and 3am Pacific, the website and server host will be performing maintenance and restarting servers. Estimated downtime is about 15 minutes at which point the site will not be available.<br />
Regarding the server, I'll need to start up the server program manually so downtime may be a bit longer. I'll try to keep an eye on it however to minimize the downtime duration.<br />
Just a heads up!]]></description>

Unfortunately, the power switches are in the server room and the adjacent room.  Therefore, when breakers are switched off to replace them, power will be lost!<br />
Anticipate downtime of an unknown duration during the day today!  It shouldn't be too long, but I am uncertain when he may be coming over.]]></description>

Furthermore, a few extra custom gameobjects (from patch 4.3.4) have been added to the custom patch (again, thanks to Dark_Spyro_003 and Razmataz for going through the tedious work of creating such a thing).  This will require replacing the existing (old) patch with the new one.

			<description><![CDATA[Server restarted to push a rev update.<br />
<br />
We're testing out a change with generic gameobjects so that they do not fade out, similar to many of the buildings (also known as WMOs, or World Map Objects).  This is mostly because there are many generic GObs which would be better if they don't fade out, such as walls.<br />
Also, I believe the Trinity devs fixed troll and worgen flight forms and boomkin forms (though that was a fix from an earlier rev update which I believe was already pushed several days back).  Check them out!]]></description>

Any user that has registered within the past two days has been activated as well.<br />

Just an FYI!]]></description>

Furthermore, the way account-wide mail works is changing slightly.  Now, any normal mail sent should still be account-wide, but most auto-generated mails (specifically from NPCs like from quests or achievements) should still only be sent to the addressed character.  This is in preparation for a related future change.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Addendum:</span> Also pushing quite a few database updates by the Trinity devs; something of note is fixing a lot of quest chains.  We'll see how everything looks after the server comes back up!]]></description>
