We will be performing scheduled maintenance on Tuesday, May 29th. Maintenance will begin at 3:00 AM PDT and conclude at approximately 11:00 AM PDT. During this time, servers and many web services will be unavailable.
Thank you for your patience.
Not even sure what to say. Diablo 3 is seriously going to have weekly maintenance just like WoW?
Weekly Maintenance We won't necessarily have one every week or even every other week. It is similar to StarCraft II when we want to do updates (which during the first few weeks to months we will most likely have rather regularly to make sure we address issues) we will schedule these to coincide with the weekly maintenance as much as possible.

I would imagine it's going to have weekly maintenance while we're in this unstable launch period. Once things are settled, we'll probably go to bi-weekly or monthly maintenance, or even just when necessary. We'll see.
That said, maintenance is a necessary evil. Got to be done. No sense getting annoyed over it, and hell: it's better than it is with WoW. At least with D3 you can hop over to play in a different region. Not ideal, but you can at least continue playing the game.
I've gotta agree with kisho, once all the tweaking of skills, itemization, ah, etc are worked out then I would be surprised to see maintenance more than once a month.
Also, once we get past the first three months, if they just have a hotfix or two to add, they'll just do rolling restarts at 5 AM Pacific, and that'll just inconvenience people for an hour or so.
Keeping up D3 servers is going to be much like keeping WoW running, and once they get the teething troubles out of the system, they have a lot of experience in keeping it going.
