I know. I was on the “Terrible Twenty” when they were given multiple weeks of credit due to the numerous issues through the first several months.
I remember there was an instance where the maintenance was so long, they gave everyone full max rested xp along with the day(s) credit, would have been early months of 2005
Aren’t we also paying for the game to be maintained anyway? When is there a more convenient time for doing this? Or do you want a non-updated game?
True story. When Diablo 2 1.10 came out, it caused anyone that downloaded it early to lose the ability to connect to battle.net. At the time, the only solution was to re-install.
If you remember, games back then used CD keys that they would print on those white pieces of tape on the crystal cases. Well, those were notorious for rubbing off, which of course mine did. Upon calling Blizzard (yeah, they had a number to call at the time) they fully understood and sent me a brand new Diablo 2.
THOSE WERE THE DAYS.

you might be right, 5 full days, which only leaves us 8640 hours a year to play.

It’s a good burn.
Wow, your friends in your incel groups must find you to be a real treat.
Not asking for the sake of suing. Asking from the perspective of someone in the software industry where 99% uptime is frequently a bare minimum and 98% or less (like WoW probably is at) would be unacceptable to customers.
Another way to look at it: How many times a year is game actually maintained/updated/debugged? Because some games go neglected for months at a time. Predictable weekly maintenance is a blessing, even when I’m as eager as everyone else.

Be gone troll.
Wow, my gosh, you really went there didn’t you.
Wow sub is $15 a month
A month is 720 hours
This means per hour, a WoW sub is around 2 cents.
So when you’re crying about an 8 hour maintenance, you’re crying over 16 cents.
You’re invited to come rummage for loose change in my car door if you’re that hard up.
While the EULA section on LIMITED WARRANTY is crystal clear and renders this thread moot, let’s look at it from an opportunity lost perspective.
Based on the sub cost an hour per month is worth $0.02. If we assume FULL maintenance 8-hr days weekly (never happens), we’d be out $0.64/month. If you’d been given that money back every month for the last 18-years, invested, and compounded the interest annually at 8%, you’d have $2,161.92 right now.

We’ve never called it banana-nut bread, just banana bread. For the longest time I believed my wife was a magician who magically turned soggy bananas into crunchy deliciousness. My world shattered the day I saw her making it and adding crushed nuts into the batter…
Don’t worry about it. Go outside…
There is no SLA in the TOS. You pay for access to the service when they are available.
Personally I’m fine with the access since I started playing (~2009). It is still very cheap entertainment compared to every other hobby I have.

Not long enough.
The game could benefit from longer maintenance times.
I’ve always been a pumpkin bread kind of man myself. I genuinely hope Blizzard buffs it in the next patch.
Why did you single me out when 98% of the people here feel your post was too dumb to even comment on and decided to make it a recipe discussion. That hurts , man.
