CONTENT TUESDAY! NOOO!

This is a WoW players worst nightmare! What we all dread. That Tuesday where Blizzard shuts us all out and goes to work. Sure it may bring something really cool, but most of the time problems come up and we can't play at all that day. From 6am to noon is a lie. We usually get kicked out till 3 pm!

This is maddness!

Maddness? THIS IS CONTENT TUESDAY!!!!!!

So as you might be able to tell I am a WoW nerd, I have only mentioned it thousands of times, and I will explain what exactly content Tuesday is and why we WoW players hate it.

So Blizzard made the game World of Warcraft as a Massivly Multi-Player Online Role Playing Game, M.M.O for short. So every M.M.O needs new things to make people want to keep playing the game. So there are little things like a small bug fix patch or huge things like a whole expansion to the game. Right in the middle of those two is "Content Tuesday" or aka "Server Maintenance". Now I don't know how they chose Tuesday but every patch, bug fix, maintenance day, ect. is on a Tuesday. Not every Tuesday but they always fall on a Tuesday. They might be once a month but I haven't payed close enough attention.

Now today being a Tuesday that means Server Maintenance is going on. So they shut down EVERY server, which there are maybe in the hundreds, and do a maintenance check. This is to make sure there are no glitches, bugs, or any problems in the game. It is schedualed from 5 am to 11 am PST, so 6 am to noon here in MDT. Thats not to bad if I have school or don't wake up till then or something of that sort, but when I hop on at about 9:45 and see that message, I have nothing to do.

"But Jason it's only till noon, that shouldn't be to hard" Well going to noon isn't hard, but it usually doesn't go till noon. There always seems to be some problem that they didn't see since the last patch they put out and now they have to fix it. All of a sudden ever server is working but our server. Then us and others get delayed till 3 pm MDT and it sucks! So thats how come Server Maintenance is horible. But the worst time happend late last summer. Same situation with Server Maintenance and all. Now Thrall (the server I am on) is usually pretty smooth running and we have one of the shortest waits out of every server, but not this time.

Me and my guild were all talking in vent because we were all waiting to get on and once and a while we would have someone check if the server is back up. This went on till about 4 pm and finaly someone said "Guys we are one of two servers that aren't back up yet and there is a message that says we won't be back up till 6 pm". This was the WORST Server Maintenance ever. We all got off and waited another 2 hours for the dang server to come back up. NEVER has Thrall been last on a Server Maintenance to come back up, NEVER!!!

So that is my rant today. I did it all while waiting for Server Maintenance to end.

Peace out Girl-Scout!

Love you!
