for upgrades. i just wonder. is this intentional? or is there some mystical thing about a tuesday morning that makes upgrades work better or load easier or what? i know wow started after sl, and sl has used tuesday mornings long before wow was a regular game. just wondering what is it about tuesday mornings that make them so attractive to game developers to use. do other games also use tuesdays for this?
is the entire gaming world locked out of play on tuesday mornings?

Maybe WoW is actually written in LSL and runs on a handfull of private sims that are hidden from the map, hence when SL goes down for upgrades.....

It's a conspiracy to get Marilyn out to look at the sun. But I never told you...
Or maybe it's a conspiracy-inside-the-conspiracy to get her to try Star Wars Online ? <scratches head> _____________________

Yes, Tuesday suck. I was making great progress with my Shaman
 The only good thing about Tuesdays is honor calculations! |

No, Honor Calcuations in WoW. The honor will be the victory of getting back at that troll that did me in before the server went down!!! LOL _____________________

Yes, there's nothing worse than waking up on Tuesday and thinking,
"Ah, last day off before I have to work again on Wednesday." "Think I'll log on my Tauren druid and check the auction house.... oh, wait. WoW is down for maintenance." "So I'll log on Second Life and catch a game of Tringo.... oh, wait. SL is down for an upgrade." "Okay, that just leaves the forums and LiveJournal."  _____________________
