    How ridiculous. Like the names we assign nature has any effect on it.
    I wonder if that was in the National Inquirer or something.

    In all honesty there was no reason for them to do this anyways most of the world does not even use daylight savings time anymore, in the United States most of the States that even use it are farming states so I dont see what the big deal was about it they just modify the clock in game and turn it back on its not a big deal they have the expansion in just a little under a month why do they need to be doing any updating as of right now anyways, and also anyone who has been playing mmo's or any online games for any amount of time knows that when your told 2 hours for maintenance you should expect atleast 3.

    there is still approximately 70 countries using daylight savings time or at least a portion of the country, its only a short break no need for crisis mode b:chuckle

    Hello All,

    Thanks to the reports of several users in the forums today we have localized a server side time issue and are fixing it right now. Unfortunately fixing this bug is what is causing the delay in maintenance tonight.

    We appreciate everyone's patience, we expect to open at 4am PST at the latest, which is in 35 minutes from the time of this posting.

    Patience, younglings.

    orly? duck next time :X

    the norm....
    pretty much every game I've ever played is down longer than they say it will be for maintenance and various other server related "tasks".

    I've noticed that as well.

    Might be a good project for Admins:
    • Track how many maintenances are completed on time.
    • How many are completed ahead of schedule.
    • How many run into overtime, and by how much.

    If the majority take longer than originally predicted, then the original estimated time advertised to players should be consistently adjusted to match.

    Working in a server admin field myself, I find it better to over-estimate and come in under the estimate, than the reverse. If you expect a 2 hour update, quote 3, or even 4 to give yourselves some room to breathe. If you finish early, the players will be happy, as opposed to finishing late and having annoyed players.

    I think Game Administrators should, if they expect the maintenance to take 2 hours, say it will take 3 to 4 hours .. if they get it up again in 2 hours everyone would be happy

    I also agree with overshooting the time. I'm not really that annoyed, but I'd rather be playing than talking to you guys, no offense :P

    It wasn't meant as an attack or anything. :) I've just noticed the same trend in most online games I have played in the last 10 years.

    If you consistently come in under the estimates though, the majority of players will be happy. Even if you do still occasionally run into overtime.
