I find it hard to believe that for such a huge IT company. They cant build a 24/7/365 uptime environment. I mean i am sure they are building this on hardware that is 5 9's compliant. I just find it hard to believe that server instances are running on single non-failover servers. I mean there are companies out there that are 1/100th the size of blizzard and this business practice would be unacceptable.
This could also be the first part of more patches. Like stated in "blue posts". The patch day may not be the start of season 3. This is probably very well the fixed content as stated above.
Does anyone know where you can download the broadcast of the CBS episode. I really want to watch the WoW 3v3 arena tourney. However, I was unable to find it anywhere.
