So much for Blizzard implementing Live Maintenance in WoW to bring an end to Patch Tuesdays! The WoW Realm Status forums page has nothing further to add at this time."

Nothing to See Here, Move Along

This "Not-So-Live" maintenance is the "Not-Really-Possible-To-Do-Live" 2.0.3 patch.

Last weeks maintenance went off without a hitch, so expect it become more like one day a month when bugfix patches are rolled out.

implemented?

[Toridas]

They never "implemented" live maintenance, they were just testing it. They could test it again next week for all anyone knows.

Delete this non-story. Bliz never promised no more maintanence days, just reduced them for normal maintanence tasks. This Tuesday is a patch day (or have you not noticed the 140+M file you've been background downloading recently, that should have been your first clue), and thus NOT "normal maintanence." Non-story, should never have been posted, and full of misinformation.
