Blizzard continue the maintenance of the official World of Warcraft website. They also mention they are making updates to it to further enhance the user experience and security, not to mention the performance. As a result of the maintenance some features might become unavailable. This is also the reason for some of the issues players have reported with the official forums, among other things. Blizzard state that they will post an update when they are done.
We're currently undergoing an extensive maintenance on our web infrastructure in order to provide new features along with increased performance and security to our customers. As the maintenance continues, some website features will be intermittently unavailable such as account creation, password recovery, Paid Character Transfer, and/or adding payment. We will provide an update when everything is complete, thank you for your patience.

When will Season 4 begin?
There's several rumors floating around that Arena Season 4 will begin June the 17th. Blizzard shot down this rumor and confirmed it is not scheduled to start at that date. They also provide some more insight as to why it's taken such a long time to get Season 4 ready.
That is interesting, I wonder why that's a rumored date.
Well first off, no, there's been no announcement, and second June 17 doesn't give us our two-week warning we've more or less tried to guarantee before the end of a season. So, yeah, they're wrong and someone is spreading a bad date it seems.

The seasons match PvE progression.
The final door in Sunwell Plateau just opened up on May 20th. We want that gear to begin circulating a bit before the next season starts. That's how every season works, we wait until a reasonable number of people are able to grab gear from the highest raid before kicking off a season.
How much and when, we're not saying yet.
