Diablo3 still down too, why do they put all their games on one server?
Gonna go out on a limb and say they are updating warden.

I come from a time and a place where I judge people by the content of their character; I don't give a damn if you are tall or short; gay or straight; Jew or Gentile; White, Black, Brown or Green; Conservative or Liberal. -- Note to mods: if you are going to infract me have the decency to post the reason, and expect to hold everyone else to the same standard.
More subscribers.
More realms.
Older engine.
Day of new content being released.
Stick with it the maintenance isn't that bad. So what for a few hours you can't play the game take that time to read a book, watch a tv show/movie, play another game, spend time with the family, learn something new, do housework, or just go outside for a breather.
My job used to have it where I was off every tuesday and wednesday to take my son to preschool and pick him up since it was a four hour long class and during that downtime I still managed to survive. I picked up learning another language and I did my housework so when the game came up it I was done for the day and could relax.
more servers to maintain would be my guess
I think it is time for Blizzard to give 3 month 'vacations' to the accounts of all people who state that they are cancelling their subs in forum posts on the official forums.
Call it a customer service .... you want to cancel your sub, we will give you a head start.
Lets see how many people post cancel sub posts after that.

Yes, it sucks.
No, I'm not going to whine about it like a 4 year old.
Most weeks are just rolling restarts, this is only maybe the 2nd or 3rd time I've seen extended maintenance since MoP launched. Not too shabby if you ask me.
Easy.... They have to open gated raids. They have problems in actually finishing it. It's less exxpensive to fail for 5 weeks, than to try to actually fix it. And probably faster.

The thing is if they did the server merges that would just make people whine about how they aren't on their server anymore. You can please some of the people all of the time but you will never please everyone.
Also lets think about this you take the 236 servers down to 75 thats about 3.25 servers so we will say 78 servers to get it closer to 3 servers being merged into one. Now that one server has tripled in its population which means the economy is about to get destroyed. Also look at illidan where anytime galleon spawns it seems to crash the server. This is something no game needs regardless of amount of subs. You wanna know what a true wow killer would be? No its wasn't swtor or gw2 or any other mmo thats been called the wow killer it would be a complete server overhaul merging servers together.
What is kind of bothering me right now is the fact that I can't play Sc2 or D3 becuase of this maintenance.
I mean why bring all your games down at the same time?

Those that do not understand technology should not bitch until they educate themselves. Servers, programming, data preservation, networking are things they are experts at. It is what it is, we all know about it. But if you have no clue what goes into what they do, the stfu because you literally sound stupid when you post about things you have no idea about.
Everytime you QQ, a puppy dies. SO STAHP EIT!
The better question is, World of Warcraft, is it the industry standered, or does it set it?
