The longest maintenance in history

When was it and how long was it? That took the entire day.

I do mean the full 24 hours

I see many talking about how maintenance hasn’t taken this long for a long, long time. I’ve only been playing since the end of Legion, beginning of BFA, but I remember when SL hit, it was either the pre-patch or the expansion itself, took from 10am est to 6am est. the next day. I feel it wasn’t THAT long ago.

There was that one time where I lost my mop bucket during, ironically enough, MoP.

In Vanilla, I remember a days long maintenance. We could play a bit, but it was so laggy that they had to take down the servers again and again.

I believe this was some time around xmas and guess what, we all survived that.

Folks really need to chill a bit, this is not the end of the world.

Wrath was 3 days, Catas was pretty awful, WoDs was horrendous, Legions was terrible, BFA was alright, Shadowlands was mediocre. Do you see a pattern?

Good thing I was busy today. Took a run around two and half blocks, mowed the front/back lawn, went to Target for my niece’s birthday and picked up the ordered ice cream cake. My friend recently messaged me about City of Heroes new powerset; Marine Affinity. I instantly rolled one, it’s freaking awesome.

What a day!

Yeah i dont think it was WoD it was like vanilla. I dont remember WoD taking this long.

Yes that was annouced as a whole day way in advanced though. I remember that during wrath.

No that was the time in cata

In the beginning, Patch days would go for 12 Hours if not days

Then sometime around Legion, they then started being 1-3 hours or so unless something major was happening.

Today makes it feel like Vanilla days

WoD went to about 3 am est I believe I remember correctly, Legions went late too

hmm i just remember the craziness of WoD lol the uproar not the maintenance. maybe it outweighed it. lol

Vanilla holds the record.

 I believe the old stand-by comment for this used to be: "The hamster died and they're out buying another one."

Longest I remember is the wrath prepatch that took the game down for a week.

Are you living at a nice place? I am trying to picture how you live, it sounds like a rural area, with a garage and a lot of green, maybe a playground for the kids next by.

Sorry, I sometimes try to picture the people that write at this forum and you seemed like a nice fellow.

:grin:
