    The time the servers are down has absolutely zero to do with the contents of the update. Both on the server and on the client, its just a software patch. The reason maintenance usually take hours is because of the work they do that is not related to a patch of the game.

    Why are people talking as if we don't know what's in the patch anyway? Anyone on the test server will know most of it, and the threads in the testing-in-progress section of the forums cover most of it.

    Really. So it's just a coincidence that after 9 years of several hours long updates that the test server comes online and suddenly we're looking at 1:30 downtime. Coincidences are funny like that. They pop up at the heckest of times. Makes people think. Forms conspiracy theories. All that good stuff.

    Umm... what? If you're suggesting that the maintenance is shorter because they've been leveraging the test server to address issues and such, then I totally agree with what you're suggesting- No, it's not a coincedence that the maintenance is shorter because of hte existence of the test server.

    What I'm trying to convey is that it's NOT anything to do with the amount of 'stuff' in the update. They have had maintenances of varying lengths of time regardless of how much new stuff is in a patch.
    Perhaps we didn't understand each other?
