Yesterday's pre-patch took a fair bit longer than was expected, as Blizzard finally pushed the pre-patch live early this morning. However, the reason for the delays was given by a community manager last night via the Blizzard forums to explain what exactly was causing the issues.

Apparently, players inboxes was causing a problem with the pre-patch, forcing Blizzard to restore the database where that information is contained. Via Kaivax on the WoW Classic forums:As far as why the mailboxes themselves caused a problem isn't exactly stated in the statement other than the need to ensure that player's mailboxes remained intact when downtime was over. However, it's not hard to glean as to why mailboxes could be an issue, especially with many players using mailboxes as extensions of their vault space. The comments flowed in with players joking about this on the WoWHead forums, with one player worried about their 500 stacks of Runecloth in the mail, while others telling Blizzard to take as long as they need so as to not lose their valuable mail items.

WoW Classic's pre-patch finally hit this morning, bringing the Burning Crusade era to Classic. Those players looking to get a jump start on the expansion when it officially hits on June 1st can start doing so, leveling their toons to the cap, or even creating a new Blood Elf or Draenei, depending on their allegiances.
