It is to work on the server mergers that are going to happen later this week.

No this is false. Today they are loading in Shadowlands assets, mergers are later in the week

It’s only a few servers, I think 4, getting merged anyway, that wouldn’t take 8hrs.

That ain’t the servers…

It’s definitely the servers or something related to their connection to certain pipes. It’s also an acknowledged issue per this post in the known issues thread of tech support: Known Technical Support Issues - Updated July 21, 2020 - #5 by Drakuloth

Good news is the 8-hour maintenance wasn’t 8 hours.

So we should be compensated 8 hours playtime right, I don’t pay 15$ a month to not be able to play for extended maintenance. I think it’s safe to say we should demand extra gametime since we clearly are entitled to it.

Riiight. Do you demand your auto repair people pay you a proportion of your car loan because you can’t drive your car while it is having a maintenance done? Oh, I have an idea there - don’t pay for maintenance and not have your car available at that time and just wait till it breaks down completely.

People might be a tad more annoyed at a totally unplayable game than they are at being ‘forced’ to go do something else for a few hours.

The maintenance was 9 hours ago right? 7am on 21th of July (PDT)? I was able to login right after I update the game.
