Why The 4-Hour Realm Downtime?

Hey guys, so… With all the old players returning and newcomers subscribing, don’t you a 4-hour realm downtown is a bit much for the Classic Anniversary severs? My guild and I have been level at least 2-3 characters each to level 60 the last 3 weeks and getting each of them their full Tier 0.5 Pre-BiS and we’re worried we won’t have any more time to get WoW Anniversary Classic world’s first MC since it’s launching tonight. Just wondering if the 1 hour maintenance will continue to turn into 4 hour maintenances from hereon because we need to know how much time we will have with the future Phase releases to get full Pre-BiS and spend all our free time (even taking some sicks days off from work if you know what I mean) otherwise I fear some of our hardcore dedicated guild members will outright unsubscribe and wait another 5 years for another Fresh Classic to try to do this all over again. Thanks in advance.

20 dollars? lol…

thats what the blue post said i believe

I don’t understand why Blizzard doesn’t notify it’s player base in advanced to decisions like these.

I specifically took the day off from work anticipating to clearing MC by now, and instead, we original pro-Classic WoW players have to spend half a paid day of work waiting for the Devs to fix the servers.

I mean, this game has already been out in 2019 and I don’t see why they couldn’t have just scripted this to work on a Dev-only PTR before the day-of and now instead we, the player base are losing hours of a monthly-subscription that we paid for that we are not being given.

Our Main Tank is in Australia and two of our Healers are European, and this is seriously impacting our raid composition and potentially fragmenting our guild.

This is not how I wanted the Classic Anniversary launch of MC and Onyxia to go.

We have mothers and fathers in our guild and they do not have the time for this error on Blizzard’s end.

I hope Blizzard considers giving us the 3-hours of playtime we are currently losing out on.

$20 is just up through Domo. To spawn rag its another $5 for the “ultimate edition DLC”.

Rag’s loot table is BIS into AQ for some classes, so the additional $5 is a steal if you ask me.

You guys missed the ultimate package? It’s $2 per additional loot drop up to 4. My guilds dropping $8 on every boss so we can get some big loot first week.

i wish blizzard allow players to turn subs on and off :smiley:
some players are only playing 14/720hours per month

Where can I pay for the DLC for WoW Classic Anniversary edition?

DLC BETA Test under subscriptions tab.

Then you are in luck, because MC doesn’t release for another 2 days.

Wait, you mean to tell me the maintenance for today wasn’t because MC is launching tonight? But it’s Tuesday and raids always reset on Tuesdays. Can you please provide a blue post confirming this claim?

Raids have been launching on thursdays for years.

but you are also correct, resets are every Tuesday.

This isn’t a reset.

I’ll get you the bitcoin address where you can send that $20 in a minute…

damn i have like 2 level 20’s and 2 level 10’s lol. how the F do you have multiple 60’s lol

0/10 rage bait

You don’t pay for it

I got an email from Blizzard detailing the announcement of the $20 Molten Core expansion. Did you not?

Nope! /10 char

That’s very strange. I would post a Gyazo but it is real. If you look on their Twitter they are discussing it as well
