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.

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. |
I don't think they would need to be announced. If all raid mobs are down they could simply have the chance to pop at once. Imagine the freak out when someone in guild announces "Vox is up", and thirty seconds somebody says "oh, shit, so it Draco!" The mad scramble to figure out what to hit by all the guilds would be epic!
