Server maintenance

You know what would go a long way to apeasing players while you are doing server maintenance?
if there was a diamond sale EVERY time server maintenance was on.
Give it some thought.

"We will be taking our servers offline at 3:00 pm PDT today on Monday the 11th until 4:00 am PDT on Tuesday the 12th of June."

Is this right? 3pm west coast time offline till 4am west coast? 13 hour downtime???

Dont get me wrong, I want these folks to have ample time to roll out the new content without any problems, but 13 hours is extensive. Are the tech monkeys gonna at least get a smidgen of overtime for their marathon maintenance?

This is a major patch so we need more time, as explained in the news, flyingltj.

Quoted

In order to make this happen we are going to be taking our servers offline at a different time than usual in order to patch everything. We will be taking our servers offline at 3:00 pm PDT today on Monday the 11th until 4:00 am PDT on Tuesday the 12th of June. This is to ensure everything is implemented correctly and smoothly


Including a bit of buffer time as well.

whitewiz, I gladly forward your suggestion :)
