Downtime that comes with patches

i dont know if any of you noticed but in the 20 mins between the patch being announced, and the server actually going down, the downtime increased from 1 hour to 2 hours. if this is just a few more tweaks, why is it going to take 2 hours to do instead of the 30 mins the other tweaks have involved. most games dont take 10 mins for patches, =/ there usually added first. then they say ok relog get the new patch :) no downtime atall then saves alot of people posting on the forums while they wait

It might be less downtime, but we want to be on the safe side in terms of estimations.

The patch itself is small, but there's a few internal technical changes associated with this patch, which may or may not take some time to implement.
