Yeah but what else do we do?

Announce "simulated patches" every two or three weeks a few days before they occur, repop every zone, lock the server until an estimated ETA (+/- 3 hours [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]) then bring the server up and see what happens? Fun but way too much headache for the GMs, cries of favoritism, etc

However you want to do it you have to admit once a week is crummy and not classic. I think 5 days (with variance) or simulated patches are more than reasonable, given that:

a. servers were taken down a lot in classic
b. a lot more people on this server were in raiding guilds (whether top tier/bleeding edge or an expansion behind) compared to the general populace.

I don't think it's an unreasonable request especially since simulated patching is too much headache for the GMs. Every day or three days would be too much, obviously.
