I am sure BB will listen to the crowd as they always do! so do not worry
LOL. Lying in bed feeling ill and guilty cos I am not playing during the event. Struggle up and what do I get? ROFL. Gonna go back to bed.
First of all, I noticed in my short time in chats today that the difference between a Game Update and a Maintenance is not clear for everyone.
In the past, the servers used to go down for weekly maintenance. During this downtime, a series of scripts ran, the data bases were purged, all to ensure the good functionality and stability of the game servers. In time, we figured out a way to have most of these changes happen while the game is online, without a downtime being necessary, so that is the reason for the Mainte-no-nance announcement.
Website maintenances and Chat server maintenances are still needed from time to time. The Mainte-no-nance only referred to the weekly game maintenance.
A game update on the other hand only happens when a new version is deployed. This means whenever the servers go down for a game update, we are improving on the current game version. Improvements and new features will find their way into the game whenever you see the "Game Update" message on the homepage.
Today's Game Update was necessary to ensure the last Party Crasher Boss quest from the Easter Quest Chain completes successfully. The issue was reported on another language version and an improvement was applied before anyone on our servers is affected.
I know it is not ideal, but it is better than the alternative.
Thank you for your patience and your feedback on this! It will be passed on.

the explanation given on home page would probably be best given here in the open forum. I think more read the forum than the home page.

While I do understand the difference between maintenance and game update, the end result for both are the same, players cant play the game for that period of time.Why dont you run the game updates on the time slot of the old maintenance? So we can enjoy the game, especially the event time that is finite, and we already lost so many hours with 2 mainte-gameupdates, whatever they are, you know time event away from the game . Can we have an event extension for those lost hours?
I hope BB give this the consideration it deserves, namely printing this thread out and posting it up by the water cooler so that they can wet themselves laughing every time they read it.
Your complaining about the time lost due to these maintenances yet have not stopped to think that pre-no-maintenance we would have lost more time due to the normal scheduled maintenances over the event.
