REALM MAINTENANCE: Everyone Stay Calm
Who likes Tuesdays? I don’t. But what can you do, eh? Blizz peeps have a job to do.
I received like seven emails from my readers complaining about the major downtime, and I saw plenty of whiny comments on the extended maintenance in sundry forums.
Sigh.
Look, guys, kvetching about it is not going to solve the problem. Blizz has been doing maintenance since time immemorial, get used to it. Maintenance is a necessity. While they’re busy fixing whatever they need to fix, go out in the sunshine and meet friends. Visit your folks. Take the dog for a walk. Or go on a blind date .(cough, hyperventilate, cough)
Oooh, is that a hint of maturity you’re seeing in EGF?
As I get older each day — and the longer I play WoW — I’m learning to choose my battles and accept things the way they are in the game. Glitches happen. Downtime happens. Gnomes gank me. Nothing’s perfect.Weekly maintenance will always be there. I’d rather focus on the up side — I get to play most days, patches means new content and exciting changes, and another chance to exact revenge on Gnomes in a major way.
Let’s get a life on Tuesdays, kiddies. It won’t kill us.

Me too. I really really hate Tuesdays! It’s like a paranoia day. You know, it makes me want to sleep whole day or check the Realm status site from time to time wishing to see the green arrow on my server.
Anyway, good thing there’s an awkward Restaurant City on my Facebook Account to make me calm. LOL.

Tuesday is the best day to order gold.
According to my calculation, there’s a great chance your order will be prioritized on the next day. The only problem I have is I maxed-out my creditcard yesterday, so I won’t be able to do it today. >.<

Yeah, Tuesdays suck balls. Whats even worse is those times that say ‘we will be performing additional maintenance until 1pm.’ Meanwhile, you’re sitting at your computer, at 11o’clock sharp, ready to get into Naxx.
