The servers come down for maintenance mostly so that they don't bring themselves down on their own. They have to do maintenance on the databases where things like our character data is stored. When they don't bring the servers down every week or two, the servers tend to crash and bring themselves down at more random times. Any time they do rolling restarts instead of maintenance two weeks in a row, bad things happen. Last time, I remember them doing rolling restarts two weeks in a row, we ended up with like multiple issues such as: getting actually stuck in instance loading screens to the point where you couldn't log in and a Game Master was the only person who could fix it (meaning you were out of being able to play for at least 8 hours that week anyway).
