word from NASA came that after the success of the Pluto probe, they need more PS2 devkits to build satellites since they have proven so stable. The CIA has infiltrated SE headquarters and is scrapping the game so that NASA can be the owners of the final devkits in the world. They also began a project a few days ago to forcibly separate us from the game by breaking our addictions step by step. Step one- rip our ranks away.

Any properly functioning server farm should have it's software running all the time and should never be down for hardware maintenance, it's called redundancy. Then again they're almost never implemented properly (either due to incompetence or not willing to spend the $).

Now collective upgrades/software maintenance or in this case quite possibly a full DB backup and verification and some software tweaking, yeah it can take a bit and honestly is the only thing that I imagine a 5.5 hour downtime would be planned for, except you know physically moving servers, but depending on the number could take much longer.

Hopefully their operation goes smoothly as if I'm correct and it goes wrong they could have to restore from backup and that takes time.


I'm just rambling at this point, lost my focus.

I imagine the servers at this point are just hooked up to a vintage 1980's calculator watch, and instead of updates they're just typing 80085 on the screen, giggling, and then rotating the V2 Ambuscade for the month. Only after months of typing digital boobs, the battery died, and they had to install a new one. Knowing it takes time to mess around with those teeny tiny little screws on the back, they estimated 5.5 hours for the maintenance.
It would be done much faster, but they removed Cornelia, so no haste aura

You would think that people would get that servers are just like your own pc... Occasionally you have to update some hardware and blow out the dust lol.

What, and like restart my PC once a week like some pleb?
