== Content ==
			
Its nice you tell us about downtime before you bring the servers down - but ten minutes notice is fecking retarded.
 
I just love doing the defend the tree quest for nearly half an hour only for the server to go down with 30 seconds left before
we complete it, because you know its the funnest, most interesting content i've ever done. I soooo enjoy having to do it every day, so having to do it twice in a day is soooo exciting..
 
Is your server support team trying to out do your customer support team for who can act the most *cupcaking* dumb and useless ? is it reallly that hard to tell us 30 mins before hand ? or to put in some way to stop 30+ min events from triggering if a restart is about to happen.?

			Stop complaining.. wtf is wrong with you. It is for good.

			What part of "emergency" server restart makes you think they had time to give you more notice?  Obviously there was something introduced in the patch that was causing serious problems.  It'll be okay, go get some fresh air.  If doing that twice in one day is so incredibly painful, then don't do it.

In what way do you think they could possibly give notice that wouldn't inconvenience someone for an emergency server outage?  Would you be OK if you got your last minute - but I didn't?  That wouldn't matter - right?  You'd be happy... because you got your stuff done right before the outage.
 
Just clarifying that your complaint isn't really "You need to give more notice" - it's "I was inconvenienced, and I don't like it."

You know, in a real emergency there is probably no notice.
 
Basically, no matter how much notice they give someone will always be in the middle of something.
 
So vent if you must, but try to calm down and recognise there really isn't a good choice when it comes to unscheduled patching. Extra 20 mins of someone exploiting something is just more work for them to find, ban and remove whatever ill-gotten gains have been gained! Or 5 more zone crashes for someone else trying to do some other quest.
 
Now, if you want to make another thread without the bile and criticize the quality of QA we seem to be getting - I'm on board. Shocking stuff in every patch that you can't believe should have been able to get past any reasonable amount of QA.

	emer·gen·cynoun, often attributive \i-ˈmər-jənt-sē\
: an unexpected and usually dangerous situation that calls for immediate action
 
 
 
note.. the unexpected part.. therefore, NO. They could not. They gave us the most warning they could.

Do you not understand what the term emergency means?
 
Let me google that for you

			As I said to someone else, people don't work to your schedule, you're not that important.
