Wow Maintenance

[xodkrm]

Blizz has been really pissing me off these days.
The servers and realms are too laggy to do anything during weekends, and peak periods. Their so-called maintenances take ridiculously long periods (eg: patch 1.10). It first takes them 8hours to apply the patch, and other day to "fix" the servers. Sometimes I cant beleive im paying 15$ per month for this kind of service. Everyone should atleast get two days free for all the troubles they have caused. Other words, you wouldn't get paid if you dont work, right? Anyone with me?

I could back that up.

there was a time way back when all the realms went down for a whole day, they tacked an additional day onto everyone's game time and gave everyone full rested exp. I hit 60 the day after =D

I'm willing to forgive them this time (though they did give everyone another day) just because of how good a job they did on the quest series to get your dungeon 2 set. I finished the solo part, got my better belt and bracers and epic gloves (<3). Now I'm on the next big quest, which involves running stratholme in under 45 minutes! I managed to get like 4 of the best players in our guild together on thursday and try it. We didn't make it, but realized that it actually is possible, just very very challenging -- which is good! Its cool that its not just the same old same old, kill a boss run to the other side of the world, run to another corner of the world and kill 10 mobs and run back. Running strath in 45 minutes requires being very careful and very very efficient. Its kinda fun to see how many groups of mobs we can skip and not aggro. And working with the guildies I trust most on a smaller scale than ZG is also fun. A couple times we screwed up and pulled like 8 guys simultaniously, and still managed to win just cause we worked together really really well.

Kudos to Blizzard, especially if they made the rest of the series like this too.
