Could have been an editorial mistake rather than some conspiracy against us.

Yep it does , helps me plan my morning better if i know it will be extended or not .
It also matters because its unprofessional to extend anything at the very last minute , id lose quite a few clients if i ever did that .

I’m willing to bet my life on it that, at the least, 99% of the people that reference “1984” have never actually read the book.

What else are Tuesday’s for?
Oh right.
Complaining about the Great Vault.
Yeah 1984, isn’t that where they burned books or something? Clearly Blizzard burning Teldrassil was a metaphor. Now Blizzard agents are going to come to our homes with a nice slideshow on how Gnomes don’t really run the world. /s

First world problems sheesh… i agree with you pyri!
Any time you are dealing with any type of engineering project it is reasonable to expect delays. Especially when dealing with a 20+ year old game engine. There is nothing unprofessional about extended maintenance down times.

“dogcrap game!”
“stupid game gave me another belt”
“I hate this game hwy do I play arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr”
etc.

not people actually complaining, it’s been some time since they’ve needed to extend it quite like this, yes in the “old” days it was expected and after 16 i still find it annoying
Take a shower? Don’t take a shower? Gdi I can’t decide.
well, no… they don’t. if we’re being honest, it’s goblins who run Azeroth.

I’ve been a DevOps engineer for 6+ years and there’s never been a time where we didn’t have outages during maintenance. Services have to be restarted. If a file fails to drop you have restart the whole process. Then there’s the 30+ minutes of testing before everything goes live again.

Don’t do it, instant regret.

If you move the time you can still code the downtime as “Planned” vs. “Unplanned.” No effect to the end user, but probably tied to a performance metric which demonstrates process reliability.
