What are they doing at Turbine, this is like the second cancelled maintenance in 2 weeks. Something is going wrong there.

They avoided quite a backlash because of this. Today is Germany’s national holiday and quite a lot of their customers would have been very … disappointed (to put it mildly) … if they had not been able to play.
Would you like to have a maintenance on July 4th or thanksgiving?
I thought so.

I really don’t think that’s the reason, they have done maintenance on European holiday’s before and it also doesn’t explain the previous cancellation of the maintenance.

with that in mind … good call Turbine!
