Do you honestly think that it won't be a 24 hour patch? The big bang patch is going to be long, and it'll involve many of the same duties that a server maintenance entails. Otherwise, they wouldn't take the time to make special notes every now and then that tell us that we won't be named changed or world shifted during a certain patch.
To you, a maintenance might as well be a patch - don't think that a maintenance doesn't add things to our data. They just don't publicize it as well.

We had a big maintenance last week IIRC, too. They're just prep patches to take the load off before the big one. They already specifically stated they wouldn't be following the same schedule as usual, two months ago. This would be inclusive in that.
The maintenance doesn't preclude the patch, but it doesn't help its chances either. From a logistics stand point, having a maintenance, then a patch the next week is a massive waste of time. But then again, this is Nexon...
