UPDATE: The maintenance was completed at 11:50 a.m. EDT, so the servers are back up and the Wild Hunt has begun!

As we've reported, Mythic is celebrating the one-year anniversary of Warhammer Online with the Wild Hunt live event, which is the game's biggest live event to date. Maintenance is currently under way on all North American and Oceanic servers to enable the event, and they should be back up by 2 p.m. EDT. Once the servers are up, the Wild Hunt will begin!

The hunt ends Sept. 7, but weekend-only events will be held in September to continue the celebration. Also, all players will earn a 20 percent experience and Renown bonus throughout the month, and don't forget to keep an eye in your in-game mailbox for anniversary items. Enjoy the festivities! WAAAGH!
