my math sucks its only 1.5 MILLION a month they make on this game,,sorry
no, they get 150 million a month in subscription. I know that their overhead cuts out a good portion of this, but when you add in merchandising and deals they have with other companies (products by companies that come with free wow subscriptions, etc), they make it back.
So now you're the best hardware technician in the world, the top programmer ever AND a psychic accountant, able to discern exactly where every penny goes in a company by mere thought! All in the span of a few hours. Wow! you must command a massive paycheck.
Either that or you're just not putting any real though in what you say before saying it.
I will say again. The extra time they take to maintain the servers, the more reliable and better functioning the game is in the long run. If you want a game that has no maintenance, then go find another game and deal with something that's riddled with problems. I will stick with a game that actually has people putting some foresight into their business.

Just because a multi-faceted company makes millions of dollars a month doesn't mean that their programmers are godlike and can instantly fix any problem buried in millions of lines of code. People are people, and people need time to do something right. You want a half-arsed game to play how about you go try Aion or one of those other games where the company doesn't give two %^&*s about their customers? At least Blizzard announces maintenance, and has it scheduled for
one
day of the week - Riot Games shuts down League of Legends whenever they please with a notification 15 or so mins beforehand, and that doesn't even appear if you're playing in a match.
How about
you
try and find errors in all that code by
yourself
? Let's see how long that takes. I guarantee you it'll take longer than what today's maintenance was. You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about when it comes to running a business and managing a computer program as complex as what runs on a
single
World of Warcraft server, let alone what needs to be done maintaining
all
of the servers.

There are two things Blizzard will take notice of: account cancellations and violent rioting at their HQ with lots of fire. Neither of those involve petitions.
What if we make petitions and burn them while rioting at thier HQ?

A psychic accountant? I guesstimated 150 million in subscription due to that fact that over 10,000,000 people play and the fee is $15 a month. Is that a little too out of your league their, champ? Simple math kinda beyond you, yeah? Let me put it easier for you.. lots of people give one group little money equals one group having BIG money! Easy enough for ya, caveman?
Who said calculations of the income? I said that you seem to be able to discern exactly where every penny goes of that income goes to without any actual accounting figures in front of you.
But then again, it seems that reading, like rational thought, are above your capabilities. The mere fact that you seem to think that simply throwing money at a technical problem is going to magically solve it is proof enough.

Who remembers Endless Wintergrasp, where after a patch every time Wintergrasp resolved, the server reset?
That's something that gets solved/prevented during extended maintenance.
