Extended Maintenance for Tuesday, June 30th

Once again, we have maintenance off the port bow. You'd almost think this is a weekly scheduled thing, eh? This week, though, is one of those special extended maintenance weeks, with servers down from 3 AM to 11 AM Pacific. No, despite the extended maintenance, we aren't expecting patch 3.2 yet.
In addition, other servers will be down an extra 2 hours starting at 1 AM Pacific time.
We have the full list of said servers after the break, and it's actually a somewhat long one.

Maybe they'll fix the "Additional Instances cannot be launched." That is getting really annoying when I have a short amount of time to play :(.
Rin Jun 29th 2009 8:44PM
Not only will they probably not fix it, but it will also continue to happen almost solely whenever you plan on running from a group of people from the opposite faction with the intention to kill you.
Ron Jun 29th 2009 8:44PM
"Additional Instances cannot be launched" is not needed to be fixed. It is intentional by Blizz to make the overall instance experience good by not allowing to many parties into it at once. They have done this to reduce lag. I have never had to wait more than a minute to get into an instance when I have received this notice. If a minute is to long for you to wait might need to look at your priorities,

@Ron Well, you're lucky then. I've waited UP TO AN HOUR for an instance before the group broke up. It needs to be fixed. It's ruining gameplay.

The fact that they're intentionally keeping us out of the instances doesn't mean that's good, or even acceptable. How much money do we give them, cumulatively? Billions a year? They can afford to buy a few more computers. These things are probably already load balanced over several boxes, it should be trivial to fix this with some new hardware.

Blizz has said they are working on a solution for the instance problem. With the huge boost in heroic runs we are likely to see w/3.2 due to the badge change, it is in Blizzard's best interest to see they have the instance problem resolved by then. Here's to hoping today is the end of instancing problems on Whisperwind. Your servers too I suppose :)

Seriously, how hard could it be to implement some type of que?
Xpyre Jun 29th 2009 8:44PM
Wow, first time in a long time im not on the extended list. WOOT.
freeway8989 Jun 29th 2009 8:50PM
Lol, first time I am.
Malkavos Jun 29th 2009 9:48PM
Ditto, freeway, I guess they finally got around to the Dallas server hub, which is where all these servers are based.
Neghtasro Jun 29th 2009 8:51PM
Won't Tuesday be the 30th?
PaulJulio Jun 29th 2009 9:00PM
I'll be the first arse to point out that it is already Monday the 29th, so either the calendar is going through a revision or the title of this post needs a correction.
Neghtasro Jun 29th 2009 8:55PM
Actually, I was the first arse.
Zach Jun 29th 2009 8:58PM
Woot! No Perenolde!
Dan Jun 29th 2009 9:10PM
I don't think I have ever seen Anvilmar once apart of the list of realms that get extended downtime.
Inzane Jun 29th 2009 9:35PM
Maybe with this they might actually fix the "Additional Instances cannot be launched" problems. Doubtful, but we can all wish.
kmfolino Jun 29th 2009 10:10PM
I'd be happy with them fixing the latency problems that have cropped up the last 2 weeks. I've seen 6k+ recently, when my normal average is usually between 100-150!
FerrioClef Jun 30th 2009 8:38AM
I'm in the same boat -- I haven't been able to log in for two weeks!
Aceman67 Jun 29th 2009 11:34PM
Yes! Gnomeregan escapes extended downtime again! w00t!
Aubrecia Jun 30th 2009 8:50AM
Going to say I've been seeing a lot of random disconnections from my server lately, hoping this fixes it.
