Why do we have to pay a monthly fee for "premium services" where EVERYTIME you log on the the WoW official site, something is not working? Why can't they make their website server more reliable with all the money they recieve?
Why does my Gamecard says it lasts for 60days, yet I can only really play a potential of 50 or so days because of their maintanence which is extended EVERYTIME ?
Why don't they take the hours they use for maintanence off our credit game time?

why aren't you asking sony instead of people here that have no idea?
everquest was down all day today so they could launch a new expansion, and then had to come down within hours to fix it as always.

Because like any online game, it's not a guarenteed service and with the amount of people that play WoW, it's can make things difficult to keep it up and running 24/7

Considering that they have several million players, the fact that they've been able to keep everything running as smoothly as they have is relatively impressive in and of itself. There's certainly room for improvement, but it could be worse.
It's gotten a bit more extreme lately because they're doing a sweep of massive upgrades to prep for the upcoming expansion. That's a fairly significant amount of work.

because taking hours off of your gametime for their maintenance means you cost them money....thats why i just have the monthly service of like 70 some dollars for so many months to play
and yes i really hate when the forum servers are down as well....it usually happens when they are fixing servers in the game as well...although i feel they should not be linked but who knows...
