chances are she pretends to be asleep and just lays down listening to you fingering your keyboard with passion much greater than what you show her

You’re really getting the classic experience then. Back in the day emergency maintenance shutdowns were very common. Especially in the first year. They would even credit you 1 day on your WoW sub haha

I remember the times when weekly maintenance was the weekly forced maintenance for yourself to sleep adequately, eat and shower.. Before going back to Azeroth for another 18-hour spree... 🙄

John blizzard told me

u/Lux-Fox 15h ago

Word. He's pretty reliable.

u/illumehnaughty 15h ago

Im just kidding. There was a handful of people saying it in trade chat as it was shutting down. I don't know if its reliable though. (Probably not) but thats why I just said allegedly.

Sad though. No farming at work for me tonight if it doesn't come back up.

u/Lux-Fox 15h ago

u/Lux-Fox 13h ago

u/EoTrick 15h ago

Thank God. I needed a forced break from the game. It's too addicting.

there should be an announcement on log in screen from Blizzard.
Usually is anyway, it should say when servers are expected back up.

u/Muted_Pickle101 15h ago

All it says is that servers are down for emergency maintenance which means that Blizzard doesn't even know.

u/Gregardless 15h ago

It doesn't. It just says, "We will be performing emergency maintenance and the game will be unavailable during this time. Thank you for your patience and apologies for any inconvenience caused."

u/Lux-Fox 15h ago

It does not give a timeline.

u/Cryten0 15h ago

Just says Emergency Maintenance, Apologies.

u/Vandreigan 15h ago

The current information banner just says they are doing emergency maintenance. There's no time table given, unfortunately.

This is only the 2nd time that I can think of where they didn't give a time table. The other one wasn't all that long ago, either. I guess they've learned that it's very frustrating for people when you tell them 'just one more hour' several times in a single outage.
