The drums of war are beating, but right now a handful of World of Warcraft players cant heed the call. Blizzard is experiencing a few delays with todays release of its latest patch for WoW, version 1.12.0. This patch adds a slew of highly anticipated new features, including Cross-Realm Battlegrounds and World PvP. While countless gamers are eager to check out the new features, some will have to wait for their servers to come back online.

Rolling restarts for all realms werent any surprise to gamers, but the delays are making some antsy. Originally realms were expected to be up early in the afternoon, but since then Blizzard has said that some realms wont be ready until 4PM PDT. Some realms, such as Llane, experienced performance issues, but those were resolved after a restart. According to Blizzard, any realms that are still down should be up shortly.
