The game will be down for 24 hours straight? Is that true?
Is this a really big patch or something?
Sorry, I'm very new to this game.
Maintenance for 24 hours?

Sometimes it is due to infrastructure changes (server hardware).
Also, there is a lot of content in the patch to the point they are splitting it up into sub-patches once per month. However, this has the effect of making it not too much per patch.
They have major patches: 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 7.5
And minor patches: 7.11, 7.15, 7.18 etc.
The minor patches would be a lot less likely to have as long of a maintenance but it depends what they are doing on the server end. -

I think it's to do some fixes to the blacklist issue

And they'll eat your sub time all the same, Good times.

03-23-2025, 01:57 PMCaptainLagbeardI suppose weekly reset is probably the biggest factor in it's length, as otherwise people who get in early enough could run the next Raid tier twice that day. Unless they somehow manage to timegate the release of the Raid until the weekly reset.Quote:
