Celebrate the 20th anniversary with an 8 hour maintenance window!

I’m just happy they’re admitting the maintenance will be long.

I do also expect the server to be up at 3. 8 hours is plenty.

100%. I don’t even mind the maintenance tbh, it’s the perfect way to kick off the anniversary event. Just like the old days!

An eight hour maintenance window? Dang, I won’t even notice it, I live in Australia.

they need all that time to pump in the fresh new and exciting content. Lets watch how much maintenance we get over the next month.

Uh huh :slight_smile:

77-ish days is a very long time to get all the things and celebrate. Tiny bit of maintenance to make sure things are working is nothing compared to that. Most normal people will just work through the maintenance anyways.

Hopefully they’ve learnt to give themselves some buffer time, so that if servers are up early it’s bonus and makes them look good.

Blizzard, what type of data storage should I do on my own to make sure my warbank, bank, and guild bank are not arbitrarily destroyed?

are you seriously crying about a PATCH, not just a patch, an EVENT PATCH, having an 8 hour downtime?

This is why children shouldn’t play this game.

Australia is obsolete, we call it Azj-Kahet now…

I’m more worried we have this, and Hallows End in conjunction, especially since we haven’t heard anythign about the revamped event this year…

Honestly, I think the only reason people are upset about this one in particular is the way the currency works and how you can’t miss a day of playing.

Me? I just stopped caring about the event entirely. Old Republic’s anniversary taught me that. lol

No better way to celebrate 20 years. If they fail to throw in a bonus surprise at 7:59:59 into the downtime I’ll be really disappointed.

Hah! I wish our spiders were that cool and violently lethal. We just ship them to our neighbors for free. :sunglasses:

Sad but very, very true. It’s a low point when you are worried about what will be broken or worse DELETED than being excited for something that should be highly celebrated.
