Is Server Maintenance Time a Hard Time Frame or Rough Estimate?

I know it’s 1am - 9am CEST (12am - 8am UK), but is that a definate? I know in the past when there has been server maintenance they’ve finished early and the game has been playable. I’m excited for pre-patch, what can I say? lol :smiley:

This is something I would like to understand also. Many maintenance times have been over in 15 mins. Be nice to know if this is a ‘soft’ window or if the game servers will be kept offline irrespective of if they finish early.

Usually depends on how many bugs they work out today as NA beta tests for us.

It can change, the last one that wasn’t a reset was supposed to last 4 hours but took under an hour.

If they have planned it properly I expect it to come back online earlier, and since they would have already done it on the US servers, they will know about any problems that could happen. I would watch the US realms to see how long it take them to come back online and judge from that.

The US realms should be down until about 11pm UK time.

I believe the US maintenance has now been extended by 7 hours in total. It might be an idea to make sure to have something else to do tomorrow for anyone planning to nolife the prepatch.

only the US had been delayed? how does that work?

US servers were supposed to be up by now, EU servers aren’t supposed to come back up for another 6+ hours. Blizzard probably won’t annoounce any EU delays until they know for sure that it will be delayed.

it’s extended from 3pm EDT to 10pm PDT now.

Oh dear, FUBARed.

I believe both those times were supposed to be PDT, but it’s still a pretty significant delay for anyone planning to spend the following weeks preparing their new main characters.

yeah I messed up the time zones a bit but this was posted recently.

So they are having problems copying the hundreds/thousands of items people have stored in their mail? What a surprise! Especially considering that they require mailboxes to be empty for “normal” transfers to be possible.

Maintenance extended to 13 CEST
so if there was any thought of being on time … chrushed lol

“You are not prepared”

Really? Is this the issue?

If it is, then this might be the pinnacle of incompetence encountered at Blizzard. Are they having interns doing the transfer? This starts to feel less like a serious company and more like a circus with clowns.
