Would you be upset if the game went offline?

OK, remind yourself not to work in server administration then. If I told my company I was going to take down all the core servers to implement an upgrade without a backup server I'd be eating ramen and dirt and living in a van down by the river.

You honestly think there's no way to work on the game without taking all the servers down? How did you come to that conclusion?

You're right about that, actually. I would be boned.

But I'd be boned regardless if I came up with a server infrastructure that didn't allow me to continue developing and was crash prone.
