WoW Servers Keep Restarting
For the fourth day in a row since the patch, Blizzard does rolling restarts for all its servers.
The 3.3.3 patch implemented a lot of changes when it was released on Tuesday, but several issues have forced rolling restarts on all servers for three four straight days since the patch.
Update: Saturday marked the fourth straight day of server restarts to fix various issues within the game.
Also, the patch notes from the mini-patch yesterday to 3.3.3a:
General
- Corrected an issue where players could disconnect upon leveling.
- Fixed an issue in which players could get stuck at the loading screen when utilizing a portal to Dalaran.
- Shoulder armor will nowt attach correctly to Blood Elf Male characters.
Priest
- Fixed an issue in which Spirit of Redemption was being prematurely canceled upon use of other abilities.
Mac
- Corrected disconnection errors upon login for Power PCs and Mac users running 10.4.11 with GeForce 8600s.
User Interface
- Enabling the command 'fixedfunction 1' will no longer cause graphical issues.

Players were greeted again today with a launch screen message that there would be rolling restarts on all servers, the third day in a row this has happened. A small patch was also implemented today, although there is nothing currently listed on the patch notes as to what it entailed and the launch screen still shows a 3.3.3 version number.
The rolling restarts have fixed everything from VoA being broken the first day, to respawn timers on the cooking quest items being way out of whack.
