Congratulations on appearing to be an ignorant idiot. You do realise that maintenance encompasses various essential tasks such as server restarts, backups and database archiving, as well as making changes to the game code, right? The clue is in the word 'maintenance'. Even if it were 'just' changes to the code, this isn't a case of adding a few lines here and there - this would have been done some time ago - the latest build of the game has to be uploaded and deployed to the various servers, integrity checks undertaken, as well as additional testing before they let us back into the game. Easily 2-3 hours work for a modest software deployment, let alone one serving 2-3 MILLION customers. This whole process has to be undertaken even if only one line of code changes. As for the nature of the changes made this week, do you honestly think much was going to change so close to Christmas/New years? It will be the end of January before we see any substantial changes to the game as development sprints typically last 2-3 weeks before deployment and they only acknowledged the community's complaints a week ago.
