Chances are, the reason for the long maintenance is the re-grant of the Nar Shaddaa Nightlife event achievements. I would guess that, like the 12x XP hotfix script, this has to go through the list of every account, cross-reference with some kind of archive of Achievement information, and add the necessary achievements.



Unlike the 12x XP script, this one will do more than simply test for account type and flip a switch. It will have to grant multiple achievements, and can apply to both Subscribers and non-Subscribers, which (considering how long it took for the 12x XP script to run) would certainly explain the maintenance time.





I don't know for absolute fact if that's the reason, but it probably is. Er, why?Just saw that after you mentioned it. There are a lot of changes to potentially big files (such as French/German localization files). However, I believe with the current Patcher we won't need to redownload the whole file, itjust edit/add the pieces it needs to.Chances are, the reason for the long maintenance is the re-grant of the Nar Shaddaa Nightlife event achievements.
