They are inevitable and always come at the most inconvenient moment: maintenance work for online games. Today, we want to know from you what you do during that time.
It’s known: Joyfully, you click on your favorite game, mentally diving into the next quest and are about to log in when – ZONK! Maintenance work with a grim face blocks your virtual door. What to do?
Unexpectedly Often
Most maintenance work is announced in advance and some are even carried out regularly, so you really shouldn’t be surprised. But Christmas always comes out of nowhere! Who could have guessed that!? Right: No one.
But the freed time is there. The question now is, what do you do with it? Do you just shrug it off and log into another game? Do you contact the next community manager or a phone counseling service with foam at the mouth? Do you leisurely read the patch notes if an update is the reason for the maintenance?
Guddy says: For me, maintenance work always comes, fundamentally and exclusively, at the most inconvenient moments.
- I finally managed to carve out time for questing together with friends? Maintenance work.
- I’m lying sick in bed and finally mustered the strength to trudge to the PC: Maintenance work.
- After weeks, I finally feel like playing game XY again? Maintenance work.
Yes, we are good friends, maintenance work and I.
But the question doesn’t concern me, it concerns you: What do you do during that time? Do you check the clock every minute, cursor already on the login button, making sure not to miss anything? Do you not care and just continue with life? Type away and let us know!
