From Drysc last night:

Due to an issue earlier this evening, it was necessary that we bring down a select number of realms to correct character honor data. We are in the final stages of recalculating the honor which will resolve many of the honor display discrepancies you may notice in your honor tab. You may need to log off and back in to see the properly calculated totals or rank once they are completed.

Players on the realms brought down earlier this evening may see a displayed loss in the totals once the calculations have finished. No data has been lost from today’s issue. The honor totals displayed in the honor tab for the affected realms have been reset to zero; however, these totals do not reflect recorded honor in any way.

Once each subsequent calculation completes, the totals will fill in with their appropriate totals. For instance, once the calculations for tonight finish, the honor earned for today will be correctly displayed in the ‘Yesterday’ total.

Once again no data or honor has been lost, and during next weeks maintenance the entire week will be calculated and displayed correctly as ‘Last Week’. We apologize for the inconvenience this display issue has caused.

The official site has some minor information regarding patch 1.12.

Information includes, Cross Realm Battlegrounds, World PVP, and the Rogue Review.

We’ve put together a Pre-Guide to Patch 1.11 and Naxxramas. It covers some of the initial Naxxramas encounters and the Scourge Invasion. If you are looking to have a bit of information before you head in, check it out.

Patch 1.11 introduces a great many things to the World of Warcraft. First and foremost, of course, is the giant necropolis of Naxxramas, a 40-man raid instance located in the Eastern Plaguelands. Though Ahn’Qiraj, for the most part, contained equipment that was more of a sidegrade than an upgrade to most raiders, Naxxramas is the next level in terms of item progression.
