March 12 Extended Maintenance Planned

[Kaivax]

In our Americas, EU, and Asia regions this week, we’ve planned for an estimated 8 hours of downtime to do some critical server infrastructure improvements to our Network File System (NFS).

At this time, the 8 hour window is just an estimate, and we can’t determine in advance how much time it’s going to take with much certainty. While we hope that NFS updates won’t take the full 8 hours, we have to allow for the scenario where the update processes take much longer than expected.

We’ll let you know during maintenance tomorrow if it looks like it’s going to go long.

BOOM CALLED IT

I said it was some sort of server work and not a patch

[Titanspite-stormrage]

unless theyre just calling it that and its actually the patch surprise

[Vhx-black-dragonflight]

10.2.6 must be such a crazy event you need NFS maintenance before it comes out.

[Mythosaur-frostwolf]

in before the players dont read the info complain about it lol

[Phenomenon-hydraxis]

Any indication of if the Hearthstone event is going to be extended due to this extended maintenance occurring during a currently “1 week only event”?

[Lorelaî-stormrage]

I doubt they’re going to extend it if 10.2.6 is next week…

But if it’s not next week they might.

[Grizzle-eredar]

Even taking out 48 hours, theres 120 (360 if you make all 3 portals) attempts to be made, does it really to be extended?

[Lucrend-stormrage]

Translation:
Don’t expect to play any time tomorrow. At all. We gonna be down ALLLLLLL day and night. Prepare your gluteus.

No hate, just, this is what the message says to me.

[Thelei-stormrage]

You have a picture!!! Although I must admit I never pictured you as a raccoon.

@Mythosaur-frostwolf

in before the players dont read the info complain about it lol

[Norinila-moon-guard]

Network File System (NFS).

Odd name for a patch but I’m ready

[Waters-sentinels]

You may have actually gotten in early enough, but you know it’s coming

[Dojacàt-moon-guard]

lol at the people that thought it was a content patch

[Vhx-black-dragonflight]

Also not sure why they didn’t explain this maintenance days ago when it showed up on the launcher.

[Lorelaî-stormrage]

To let people hype themselves up over nothing and just build “suspense” for what will likely disappoint when it finally does come out

[Rejel-westfall]

Glad I didn’t get my hopes up for a patch like a lot of others lol

[Maizou-proudmoore (Maizou)]

@Kaivax

much longer than expected.

Oof.

Thankfully I’m on break from WoW atm (apart from once a week for druid skin chances and right now for the event lol)

But this is horrible timing to do this during a 7-day only event, you know lol.

Yeah, thanks for the 5 day event. Very inconvenient, especially when event is already glitched. Please extend it.

Can y’all extend the Hearthstone event a bit since it’s only a week long if this ends up taking 8+ hours?
