You're taking us down for TWO HOURS in prime time RIGHT AFTER releasing brand new raid content?


You need your head examined.

Sometimes it is necessary to do so, Murannan, even if it is starting on prime time. If it was necessary to do so and we decided to wait until the early hours and the realms went down unexpectedly you would see a very high number of players here saying "I don't care if you take the realms down all day, just fix the issue".

You can't have it both ways.

I'm sorry for what inconvenience this may cause you.

Q u o t e:
How about a reason. The empty apologies get old after the thousandth one.


The reason: is because it is required. Beyond that I couldn't say. It is not necessary for me to know the particulars.

Sadly, I highly doubt people would say "I don't care if you take the realms down all day, just fix the issue".


It was stated yesterday as a matter of fact, Psychodruid. Realms go offline from time to time, I have been here trying to provide what updates I can when that happens. We have, in the past, had several occurrences where the realm goes offline several times a day. In such cases that is actually what is said and agreed upon by many.

I really wish you wouldn't respond like that. All it does is incite rage among the masses. Everybody knows that you DO know what is going on but you can't say because they won't let you or your legal dept says not to. Sometimes it is better to say nothing at all. ;)


That would be an incorrect assumption, Autolicus.
Q u o t e:

From what i heard from fellow guilds on my server.

Bosses were bugged and they dropped 20+ Saronites when killed.

That could be an issue.


No, Vederal, if something like that was happening it would be happening on every realm, not just one set. Rumours like this fly around because people have nothing better to do then make stuff up.

QFT

I'm 38 years old and you speak to us like children with simple statements.


No, I speak to you with the information that I have available to me.
