Patch 4.1 on US Realms - Extended Maintenance

[Deleted]

That is true... but then.... They didn't spend 6 months on PTR rewamping 1 dungeon and still manage to mess up endless numbers of data - including Worgen soundfiles... Bugged mount running animation and ofc... dc ..dc... and no instance available ...

Yeah. This $.1 is only one instance. You ppl read patch notes?

1st their internal wow is way more advance then ptr and when migrate to real server create problems that did not happen on ptr so they have ti fix it fast.
2nd 4.1 is way more extend then 4.2. If what I know is right 4.2 will be Firelands and some late fixes to 4.1 (probably tooltips). This one introduce way more features and changes.
Patch are not about instance only go check what they introduce and see for yourself.
A instance and raids are only graphics with some scripts on bosses nothing hard when you compare with new lag system, graphics, classes changes, guild and queue changes, etc...

And btw not all server did the extend. Some are allready up.

The maintenance doesn't always get delayed, usually it goes for the 8hrs they say.

What does that have to do with the price of tea in China? Maintenance =/= patches. Patches are ALWAYS delayed. Note all of the people replying to this with sarcastic shock. Let me give you an analogy... Just because driving to St Louis always takes 5 hours doesn't mean you can pretend that driving to LA will also take 5 hours when it took over 7 the last 50 times you did it.

Probably not too far off but we haven't been able to reproduce the situation yet on our internal servers, which is a necessary step in pinpointing the issue. There's definitely something wrong, it's just finding the catalyst and then devising a solution. Rest assured there are many people working overnight to resolve this and other issues.

Wierd things allways happen on live server. Hard to test it when don't happen on ptr or internal server.

Anyone know if this will probably happen on EU aswell (1hr46min to go) or if US-part takes care of the testing-part and they'll have it sorted for us?
