Why 8 hours of maintenance?

Its not a big patch day, no new events/raids/dungeons/season, so why 8 hours?

I work for a ISP, even with critical maintenance we dont take everything offline for that long. This is something they use to do 15 years ago.

If you read the article 8 hours is just an estimate.

They give a long down time just to play it safe . They could be up in half that time or less or maybe go over a bit .

Most likely they will be up sooner then the time stated.

I am going to play dia4 as well…

Well I guess if they are doing MS integration for all their servers might take everything down.

Network File System (NFS) improvements for the servers. This isn’t some small thing, and everything has to work after the updates. So it will take time.

That I understand but we aren’t talking about 1 server room as ALL servers across the US are going down.
I’m just bored atm so its fun to speculate.

i wonder if that might be partly due to how much more important ISP service is compared to a video game service
