4.1 delayed by 1 1/2 hours

[Athrai]

Im going to take a stab in the dark and say they have to deploy, a 350mb patch on EVERY single server they own (im going to assume about 70+ servers) and then they do there regular maintainence. Which may be resetting the servers, clearing cache's maybe

All that takes time, Honestly ICC was delayed by atleast 6 hours. Its a big content patch.
They want to make sure everything goes according to plan

[Bahska]

Well, Aren't you also assuming that Blizzard is a Magical fairy company and does things a certain way?
Most people with opinions are assuming they always are if you fail to see that then you are a closed minded fanboy

Nope im assuming problems arise no matter how much you prepare for it, which is true sometimes.

Especially when dealing with electronics of any type.

They do this on purpose to make us excited. I think it's f'd up to be honest.

But there's no way a group of people could miss the mark for 6 years and still aim for the same mark as a realistic goal.

I understand how big these content updates are but they could do a better job at updating the delays. Don't just throw a time at us guessing when it might be done then wait till that time has passed and then extend it. change it b4 hand.

Disappointed? uhh, who didn't see this coming.

Agreed with this guy, and personally, I rofl @ anyone that gets irritated from patches being delayed. For those people you shoulda played during Vanilla/BC to expierence what REAL patch delays were like....and then allllll the continuous server crashing right after the servers came back up.

Deal with it...if only the Blizz HQ was somehow destroyed by some 2012 apocalypse...the servers would be up by tmro at the latest.

So, your also "assuming" ya? lol.

For all we all know, blizzard may have just mis-written one of the last parts of coding before they uploaded and now they have to search through for the tiny mistake.
One of the servers may of also caught on fire, then exploded!

Like i said a while ago, if this were a issue that happened less often than it does, sure mistakes happen, but almost every content patch I've experienced has yielded some hitch.

Realms starting to come online

[Mayia]

Servers are slowly coming up, Also if Blizzard let its player base what the issue was maybe people would feel better, i know i would.

But at the same time i would likely laugh more, and other people would abuse the knowledge!

[KoolKidKaos]

yay servers are uuuup

[Syrada18]

Thats odd , from this list I do not see any America Realms up yet , only EU

us.battle.net/wow/en/status

[Trispec]

It's hot outside.

[Moozart]

Get some popcorn and head on over to the main blizz site. It's that time of the week again. The time where people start threatening to close their accounts because this is an 'outrage'.

Hilarious.

When the forums go offline thats when you know its going to be a LONG night

That site is typically slow to update. Several servers are online now.
