WoW : Tuesdays

[Barose]

I wounder way Blizzard couldn't pull down half the servers one day and half the other on another. A lot of folks already have alt realms. And we all know that as far as hardware goes the have severall clusters anyway. Are all of those plugged into a super huge mega machine that has to be unplugged once a week? Just wondering. heh heh. (and bored) So whoes up for a rousing game of "I got your nose?" or "Peekaboo?"

Nekkid twisted perhaps?

[Zeli]

ya really. exactly when did it get acceptable to pay monthly for 24/7 access but only receive 24/6 and that's when we're lucky?

[Tridock]

I remember when the realms were unavailable they were almost ashamed and gave you credit when you could not get on. I don't see that happening anymore.

Z and I were talking about that the other day. I can't believe people aren't complaining more.

[Nyd]

aren't the extended downtimes due to hardware upgrades on the servers in anticipation of the expansion?

[Zeli]

ya, but i'm just suprised that they've been doing that since release.

[Nyd]

I didn't know they were taking realms down for 36 hrs at a pop since release..I thought it was only in the past month or so for the upgrades...

the regular tuesday downtime isn't new to WoW...Mythic did the same..y'all mostly missed that due to yer work schedules is all

[Zeli]

i still think it sucks

[Aberrant]

I was only working half time when hardcore playing DAoC, they took it down but not nearly as often as the once a week of WoW. Either way, downtime once a week since release for multiple hours sucks.

[Molley]

I thought DAoC was down for 1 to 3 hours every tuesday? Depending on the patch...sometimes it was just a reboot and would only be 30 minutes or so?

[Zeli]

i dont know. Ab and i've been playing alot of DAoC lately and no down time yet. I even had Tuesday and Wednesday off.

it doesn't really matter. I thought we were just venting.

[Molley]

I don't remember, I just always thought that I had tuesdays of and that was patch day. I dunno if it still is.

I have no idea when WoW is/was down, I never really paid much attention...sucks to be you guys on tuesdays

[Zeli]

lol, i notice the tuesdays in WOW because I had Tuesdays off for a year and it pissed me off every week.

[Molley]

Oh wait...wasn't DAoC every second week? I think I'm remembering.
