World of Warcraft: Re: [World_of_Warcraft_List] World of Warcraft - English (NA) Forums -> Why can't blizzard do what they should?

Too bad people can't build software for 11 million people to see how down time is essential to keeping the game running.

It's a struggle for me. Being a wow fan, I'd love to have the game available 24/7 but as a programmer IRL, I understand bugs, errors and down time.

As I recently noted within another thread, Udoue:

Q u o t e:

Unfortunately, we experienced some technical difficulty with the Breaking News page ( http://launcher. worldofwarcraft. com/alert) last evening. As a result, a bulletin regarding scheduled realm maintenance was not immediately available at the login screen. For any inconvenience this posed, I do sincerely apologize.

Information was, however, posted within the Service Status Forum:

Q u o t e:

We will be performing our scheduled weekly maintenance for all US and Oceanic Realms beginning at 05:00 AM PST and 11:00 AM PST. No realms will be available for play between approximately the hours of 05:00 AM PST and 11:00 AM PST.

Thank you for your patience.

Should you not see a bulletin at the login screen on Monday, please check our Service Status Forum for a related maintenance post. Here's a quick link that you can bookmark:
