Devs,

Everytime you have maintenance it always last much longer than expected. It's not a one off, it's every single time. Could you not factor this in for future notifications. If you say it's down for 10 hours and then it comes back online after 8 then that's great but saying 5 hours when it turns out to be much more is so aggravating!

Please just next time be more conservative with your estimates

    Sure, that'd be nice, but...

    Given that they literally always do this, just estimate the maintenance at 1.5x -2x their estimate and you should be close. =]

    So based on the above formulae I'm expecting the game to be back online in the next 30-60 mins, icon_e_biggrin.gif

    Yeah, but eventually they'll start compensating for this and the delays will get even longer.

    I used to set my alarm clock 17 minutes early so I wouldn't be late for work, and all it did was make me really good at adding 17 to numbers.
