Translation: “We will performing maintenance on Monday, June 26th between 18:00 (CEST) and 22:00 (CEST). Restrictions and disconnections may occour during this period. However, it should be possible to log in again.” Same for tuesday…

Blizzard alone has employees around the globe and can’t manage to perform maintenance at night for specific regions?

    It always pissed me off to no end how WoW would do it’s maintenance. If I recall they would take down every instance at the same time during the middle of the day. I always thought it was a no-brainer to do rolling updates and people could choose their preferred instance based on when it goes down for maintenance.

      I know they got attacked but to be honest, any sane dev would implement countermeasures befor something like this happens. I don’t mean they should check my personal working schedule… I think if they split the tasks right, each team can handle seperate regions. The question for blizzard in this case is not “how can we do this” but “how much will it cost us”
