http://www.blogcdn.com/www.wow.com/media/2009/04/ah042009maintenance.jpgYou readers are awesome -- yesterday, when I posted the link to the online server alert page (http://www.wow.com/2009/05/21/link-to-the-launcher-text/) (which, yes, wasn't all that new, but lots of us hadn't seen it before), I suggested that it get hooked up to Twitter somehow, and sure enough, Scyntinth and blkmasta55555 wasted no time creating @WoWStatusUS (http://twitter.com/WoWStatusUS) and @WoWStatusEU (http://twitter.com/WoWStatusEU), respectively (Ed also pointed out the EU status page (http://status.wow-europe.com/en/alert)). Tsaavik created an RSS feed (http://page2rss.com/page?url=launcher.worldofwarcraft.com/alert) for the alert as well, if you'd rather use that. And those aren't the only way to track Blizzard's realm status on Twitter -- looks like @wowalerts (http://twitter.com/wowalerts)has been in action for a little while, and @pikestaff (http://twitter.com/pikestaff) pointed out to me that @wowrealms (http://twitter.com/wowrealms) tweets about realm downtime as well. And, hey, even your friends here at WoW.com are on Twitter keeping you up to date with the latest at @WoWInsider (http://twitter.com/wowinsider).
So yes, there are tons of ways to track what's happening on your favorite realms via Twitter or any number of updating services.Filed under: Realm News (http://www.wow.com/category/realm-news/), Patches (http://www.wow.com/category/patches/), Realm Status (http://www.wow.com/category/realm-status/), Blizzard (http://www.wow.com/category/blizzard/)
