Tuesday is MaintenanceFollow

I have a better idea. You stop complaining and carrying on about us complaining. Honestly, if this happened anywhere else, ANYWHERE else, there would be a huge uproar. What if your telephone was shut off every week on Tuesday, and didn't come back up on time.... all in the sake of "maintenance"? And what if, should this happen, they somehow ***** it up with untested/poor-tested software, and cause you to randomly drop calls?

Or, for instance.... your car had to go in for maintenance every Tuesday? And sometimes the maintenance lasted thrice as long as you were told it would? And you couldn't drive home because the car was being worked on still?

Sure, it's a game and things happen. What you're not understanding is that WE PAY FOR THIS! Granted, again, it's just a game. But it is something we pay for, and we want what we paid for. Not when Blizzard decides we can have it. With the millions of subscription dollars rolling in every month, you would think they could pay PROFESSIONALS to operate their server hardware, and network infrastructure.

Blizzard needs to stick to the software/games and let the real IT professionals maintain the hardware.

....so sad, and pathetic.

<Edit>
In regards to the three posts before this one, the servers were down for maintenance. They're not going to let you connect, because THEY ARE DOWN. IT IS TUESDAY. IT HAPPENS EVERY SINGLE TUESDAY! READ THE FIRST POST OF THIS THREAD!

...ffs.

Sorry, don't mean to vent on you all, but these same things keep popping up on forums all over the 'net, every Tuesday. "Why can't I connect?!" "zomg, I'm going to cry! I can't play, because the server is down!" This stuff gets old. READ FIRST, then post.

Just ran across this site: http://www.harrydragon.com. They'll send you a text message when your realm comes back up.

I think one more item should be added to the OP:

-Yes, the oboards will most likely be down during maintenance.

We'll do.



I'd rather have it kept in here than 1) new threads or 2) ******** in other threads.

Yes...weekly maintence, they do it just to **** with you personally.

hey guys mite sound like a n00b question but owell

this afternoon when i got on the game it said my server (or realm) Arie Peak is under maintenance. I was ok wiv that so i still logged in and made another character on another realm, but i started to worry that i hav deleted my characters from my other realm, so i had a look on the realm list and i couldnt find it (the realm thats under maintenance)

can someone please tell me if the realm comes of the 'change realm' list if it's under maintenence, and if it comes back on, and also if my characters will stil be on that realm if though i changed,

cheers-sorry if n00b question i started to worry

I was playing on my server (Steamweedle Cartel ) today at 16.00 server time but now 20.00 it is not in realmlist.

Regards,

Farewell sweet maintenance thread. Sleep well.

Interesting. Why did it get un-sticky-fied?

I put all the information that was in the original post into the FAQ. I'd like to thank Chubbycox for this thread, and hope that we aren't bombarded with "servers are down" posts for next Tuesday's 12! hour maintenence (1am-1pm PST)

"Tuesday is Maintenance" thread is dead! Long live "Tuesday is Maintenance"!
