its probably some added “just in case” time. Last week it was the same but it was up after 1 hour i think
I’m hoping thats the case. I’ve been unwell in bed all day so I’m going to be wide awake.
they’re gonna add new timewalking add to active on tuesday that’s probably why but i don’t think it’ll take that long either.
Hopefully it doesn’t last 8 hours. 
Bruhhh. I just came back from work and they announce 8hrs maintanance? Are they good?
What’s so heavy that they need so much time?

3 hours and counting for what?? I wish they would atleast tell us the reason for estimated 8 hour downtime…

Yeah it’s actually crazy that they have an 8 hour maintenance for ALL version of the game (Classic, Classic Era and Retail) without any major update or at least can’t find any news of that.

Maybe they have intern training and for good protective measure they made hamsters on standby without food for 8 hours

Come on Blizzard, clean yourself out of the realms. The legacy BoEs from this patch doesn’t grind forth themselves.

I will join you bunch of pitchforking farmers if the issue remains at 6pm after I finish work, so general support from the background about this outrage.

Riiight - I work in the video game industry working nights so I usually finish around 3am ST - just because you work the standard 9-5 doesn’t mean everyone does.

Methinks nomon be doin’ dat on purpose.
That, together with the absence of an equivalent in the US, suggests to me that (part of) the maintenance may be work or upgrades on the underlying infrastructure that supports both games. Doesn’t really matter to us, tho.
I´m really amazed with Blizzard about that maintenance on an event day… I was unfortunately not able to anticipate Pirate´s Day yesterday because if being abroad (job wise), today I´m off but still can´t anticipate because the server are down. SO no chance at all to get the dragon modifications from Pirate´s Day… well done Blizzard… thank you for this nice stuff to a player being loyal for 20 years…
