Welcome to Vanguard Shaman!

All servers will be coming down Tuesday morning at 5:00 am PDT for their weekly restart.  We'll be performing character transfers during this period, so the downtime will include all servers and will extend beyond the normal time frame.  We expect the servers to be back up and ready to play within 4 hours (9:00 am PDT).

If you're still thinking about switching servers, remember that your last chance to move for free will be happening soon!  If you decide to transfer, /petition in game and include the names of all the characters on your account you would like moved, and the server you want them to be transferred to.
