Extended Weekly Maintenance Complete

Generally companies don't have one person/entire department do these things.

Whoever was on the overnight patch duty would've passed the torch to whoever was on the day crew to go home and recover unless the situation absolutely demanded all hands on deck.

You don't put all your eggs in one basket.

I was putting my hope in anything. :f6: Or were you referring to Nexon?

Generally, I'm pretty sure updating and maintaining servers requires several people. And while more might come, it's hard to just "pass the torch" without giving them a full update on what they've done already, which still takes time. Either way, they're on duty for 12 or so hours.

All in all, we have it easy. I never got the record time from my friend, but he's played WoW almost since it came out, and he says patches used to always be over a day long at the minimum. Down time was big, and server checks are still as big (Sometimes bigger depending on if something happens.) as ours. If it gives a company with lots of experience and professionalism as that, then it's no wonder there's trouble here.

And really, to be frank, pomegranate just happens. And that is why things take longer than expected generally. And that goes for most things in life, not just Nexon.
