Over on the World of Warcraft Europe forums, we've found a recent post by Blizzard representative Xaldavan explaining that WoW Europe will be getting limited support on May 1.

Here's Xaldavan's announcement over on the forums:

As the first day of May is a Labor Day holiday in France and working on this specific day is subject to stringent legal restrictions, Blizzard Europe will be providing limited support on Thursday, May 1st. All the realms will be available for play as usual, however our Technical and Billing Support teams will not be able to respond to your queries on this day.

Our Game Masters will be working all day and night, but in a reduced capacity so you may experience a slight delay in the response time to your in-game tickets. We apologize for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your understanding.

Please also note that we will be unable to provide support on the In-Game Customer Service forums on this day.

It appears even Blizzard reps will be able to take it easy on May 1. That being said, we're pretty sure the hardworking folk at Blizzard deserve the R and R they'll be getting on the first. Keep checking QJ for more updates as they happen.
