Servers offline during July 4th Holiday?

[Gameovers]

Wah wah boo hoo

continues with more fake cries. hoo hoo hoo hoo* xD

Seriously 24 hrs for the Rest of the world when it's the North American servers only. I also agree with the original poster, SE it is bad timing. Your explanation is to replace NA equipment and maintenance for patch 6.38. Your timing could not be worse. And for people like me in Australia, why do our servers need to be down for 24 hrs due to the replacement of North American servers? Btw I am one of the first to say USA people "that they don't know about the rest of the world" it's a joke we use all the time. Because a lot of Americans don't know even where Australia is on a map. Our land size is nearly as big as the US, its not hard to find us on a map. But in this case, it is SE (Japan) not knowing about the rest of the world :P ie 4th July holiday. For those that are going wah wah boo boo, are you SE moderators? Two thumbs, and two big toes down for SE on this one.

Its system wide which means they cant leave some servers up and some down, the entire system needs to be off to work on it properly. Data has to be checked, migrated, examined, quality checked, its a huge process which will include links and travel between servers and datacentres, so yes the entire system has to be offline to ensure no data is corrupted or placed at risk. Plus patch 6.38 plus small updates plus bug fixes...SE doesnt do it fast they do it right, which is fine by me.

This is a mammoth undertaking, will also include maint on all servers as well, so this is a good time to get it all done in one swell foop.

Its 24 hrs

You will manage.

What a necro. The Necroer should have just made a new thread and complained about the 24 maintenance that's coming up. Unless they also I guess really wanted to rant while also making fun of someone who ranted about not being able to play the game during said holiday.

Believe it or not but the world doesn't spin around the US.

Ok then why do aliens only ever attack the US in movies? Why can’t they come to my fellow germans?

Because Hollywood can't seem to grasp that there is a world outside of Califorina and NY, lol.

To be fair, Hollywood was obsessed with China in the 2010s as well.

To be fair, they are reaping the profits in the 2020s. They are just channeling their inner Mr. Krabs, you know, the money is always right! (except if you are Actiblizz, lol. Seriously, seeing China tear down those WoW statues was pretty darn funny!)
