There is going to be a new maintenance schedule for World of Warcraft servers on Tuesdays. Drysc posted here about the changes to how and when maintenance takes place each Tuesday.
The new schedule takes effect immediately, starting with rolling restarts this Tuesday instead of full maintenance downtime. As previously, the schedule for the rolling restarts or full maintenance will be posted in the news window viewable at the game’s login screen, and a 15-minute countdown timer will appear on each realm prior to its scheduled restart or downtime.

I wonder if Blizzard knows there are ppl playing in EST time ...hummmm. maybe they would do their maintenance a little earlier or is that just way too much to ask... hummm. Or maybe split it so that it isn't down so darn long ... (way too much to ask me thinks). As a DBA, I can't for the life of me figure out what could possible take 8 hours to maintain. Very archaic if you ask me (is this 2007?).
i think its just funny, i wonder if the pirce of gold will drop lol???

Not really Shrake...simply because the realms aren't going offline, doesn't mean there aren't the same amount of employees still working on them; it just means they've found an alternative way to 'clean' the databases every week without having to take the realms offline for a long time.
Lets just hope Europe receives this update sooner, rather than later. :)
Well done Blizzard, you finally found a way to lower your monthly expenses. Less maintenance = lesser employee overtime = smaller paychecks.
Not that I mind though, but I think this is quite obvious.
Nice one Lothaer! LOL!
sorry farmers but it looks like your only going to be able to sleep every other week BWAHAHAHAHA

No the raid resets never had anything to do with the Tuesday downtimes. The only reason was for convenience on their part so if there were issues they could solve them there. Now since they seem to solve things without shutdowns they will only be using the short time for that. All raid instances unless told by Blizzard themselves should keep their current reset schedule.
So does this mean that they changed the resettimers for the raidinstances to then or?
