As I have mentioned previously, I am an avid World of Warcraft player, and while I appreciate what Blizzard has done with the game--man can they be frustrating. For the longest time Blizzard had weekly down-time every Tuesday. Recently they have kind of improved upon that by making the down-time a bi-weekly event. But now they can't even get the maintenance done in their window of 8 hours!
Now, I am fully aware of what maintenance can take, but all too frequently the servers come back online being far flakier than they were before they brought them down. I don't play other MMORPGs right now, but I have heard that other games require ZERO down time. Why can't Blizzard make this happen? My guess is that they just didn't design their server application to behave that way. Hell, I don't even mind the down-time (it gives me a chance to do some actual work :p ), but when the down-time is extended and the servers come back up in a flaky state, it gets pretty frustrating.
Yes, I'm an addict.
