Hitting live servers later in the day is what's next for World of Warcraft: Classic—Wrath of the Lich King.
Now that the MMORPG's iconic expansion that had the Lich King, Arthas, as its poster boy is finally making its way back, there's much for players to enjoy. From the new Death Knight class and new profession, Inscription, to an entirely new zone, Northrend, and much more. It'll be tons of content.
However, before players can get their hands on the brand-new goodness, World of Warcraft: Classic's servers will go down for maintenance downtime.
Here is everything players need to know about the WoW Classic WotLK maintenance, including when the new expansion will release and what it'll contain.
WoW Classic WotLK Server Maintenace Schedule & Downtime
World of Warcraft: Classic's server will go under maintenance on Monday, September 26, 2022, at 10 am EST and will go back up an hour later at 11 am EST.
Here are other time zones to follow for other regions across the world. They will all begin at different time zones and their maintenance is scheduled to end an hour later.
- Europe: 5 pm CET, Monday, September 26
- Taiwan: 12 am CST, Tuesday, September 27
- Korea: 1 am KST, Tuesday, September 27
- Oceana: 2 am AEDT, Tuesday, September 27
As always, there's a chance that maintenance gets extended, meaning that servers won't be up until a later designated time.
When it comes to the official WotLK release, players can expect the new expansion to go live later on Monday, September 26, at 6 pm EST via a simultaneous release.
Like Burning Crusade Classic, it'll be a live launch so players shouldn't expect another maintenance unless something goes wrong along the way.
