Feed up with maintenance

...Are people seriously trying to defend maintenance on Christmas Eve into Christmas Day? No other company would have the gall to do this unless the servers were actually busted (which means the game wouldn't be working anyway).

I frequently 'Feed up' with maintenance too. It makes my tummy full on those long lonely nights.

My tummy was quite empty tonight too. I'm glad we were fed for the holiday so I can sleep well and have sugarplums dance in my head.

Everybody knows this an undercover housing thread.

The only gripe I have with maintenance is their announcements. Really wish the lodestone and launcher notices would post the GMT times like the ones in the Forums do. A handful of us miscalculated again tonight by one hour and servers went down in the middle of a dungeon.

DOH!

I kinda agree with the OP, but only because it's Christmas and this is my excuse to ignore my family. Now I have to go be social with them. WTF.

There that post I was expecting.

Conando, I hate to shatter your delicate sensibilities, but;

1: Maintenance is intentionally planned for when it inconveniences the least amount of people possible, and,

2: Nowhere in the WORLD will you find a workplace that has major servers that ISN'T manned 24/7/365.

Technicians who are there anyway are doing maintenance at the time that the least amount of impact is felt. Get over yourself lol.

Shhhhh.... if you don't go to sleep, Santa won't come. He is on the rooftop of the data center, of course they have to shut off the servers and turn off all the lights. How else will they get their presents?

People are so mean. Data center employees need presents too.

And what way is that shattering any delicate sensibilities? All you did was state the obvious about how IT works, not any example of companies that actually do choose to do maintenance on major holidays. You could have, you know, brought up how Microsoft and Sony did it a few times at least but, that doesn't really work since the servers were already crashed by an influx of activity (so they weren't up anyway). Aside from that, this isn't server maintenance it's GAME maintenance. You do realize they have a different indication known as hardware maintenance when they're actually working out those kinds of kinks, right? What are they even fixing in the game this time? What'd they screw up again?

idk where you are but for me, the maintenance timeframe more or less in the middle of the night when everyone else is asleep. Not an ideal time to socialize unless I want to piss them off and ruin christmas morning.
