SE has something against people born in late October. A broken promise is worse than no promise. T.T lol

the maintenance is for 2.4 among other stuff which is why it so long.

It's not for the content, really. It's long due to the housing stuff that people complained about, so the database work and to handle more instances is why it's taking so long. Something like the 2.4 content, based on the notes alone, isn't a full day's work to implement.

Obviously you missed the other part of the post "among other stuff" being that database work or what ever else they doing.

@SalemP and to all those expecting to log in tomorrow and have access to all the 2.4 content...

"In order to accompany Patch 2.4, we will be performing maintenance on all Worlds."
"Accordingly, data-handling capacity will need to be increased, and for this reason, we will be conducting database optimization with this maintenance in order to aid in load reduction and increase data processing speed."

So yeah, no new classes, gear, or expanded residential areas tomorrow.

Servers have to be brought down to patch the game. This maintenance is for both 2.4 *and* server maintenance, which is routine for large patches on MMOs. Also, you may want to look up the definition of accompany. ;P

"be present or occur at the same time as (something else)."

Even if the wording may seem a little strange, they announced at the recent Fan Festival that patch 2.4 would be live on October 28th.
