One day a developer will adhere to the Scotty Principle and there will be much rejoicing.
Scotty Principle
(n.) The defacto gold star standard for delivering products and/or services within a projected timeframe. Derived from the original Star Trek series wherein Lt. Cmdr. Montgomery 'Scotty' Scott consistently made the seemingly impossible happen just in time to save the crew of the Enterprise from disaster.
The premise is simple:
1) Caluculate average required time for completion of given task.
2) Depending on importance of task, add 25-50% additional time to original estimate.
3) Report and commit to inflated time estimate with superiors, clients, etc.
4) Under optimal conditions the task is completed closer to the original time estimate vs. the inflated delivery time expected by those waiting
But then the sales guy promises customers that it will be ready about 2 weeks before your original, un-inflated estimate....

Give a man a fire and he's warm for the day. But set fire to him and he's warm for the rest of his life.

That's when you go to his cubicle and kick him sideways thru the knee. Then you tell him if he ever does it again you'll do his other joints for him. =P
no worries about the delay cryptic would rather have it done right than have it rushed which could cause you guys to miss something critical to the functionality of new content thanks for all of your hard work
It's that time! We'll be performing server maintenance tomorrow 8/14 at 7 AM PDT in preparation for the Module 4: Tyranny of Dragons update. We'll also be performing account server maintenance tomorrow which means the estimated downtime is 3 hours, but could be extended due to unforeseen circumstances.

Almost certainly because there are some dullards out there that can't tell the difference between a DC and a CD...
