So that they have a reason for the BGs to work poorly when the servers go back up.
Wait…

They have to tally honor gains by hand. One character at a time.

Have to be? Lol. You think you do, but you don’t.
They even want to bring back the server down time waits for you guys! Just like classic!

Could be they have to integrate the new servers into the infrastructure that host the BGs. As well as set up the battlegroups and verify they are working properly, making sure that you get sent to the proper BG from the queue.

They say 3pm pst so when the servers go up at noon people will be able to trickle back on instead of blowing up the login server
Because, recalibrating the flux capacitor takes time.

Typical forum poster: “Why do servers have to be down sooo long?!”
Same forum poster: “Why is this patch so buggy?! Why didn’t they take their time testing/implementing it?!”
It’s a major change. There will be software and hardware changes to make as well as active testing.
That keyring is serious business.

Yeah, exactly. It’s not like we’ve had anything like it in past or current versions of the game! XD
Its the keyring. requires a lot of configurating.
They have to prevent side wobbling and install a lunar wane modulator, the recabulator demands these things be updated.
