Patch is coming tomorrow and I think erring on the side of caution this time. Perhaps they've realized that posting a regular maitanance forcast on patch days and then extending it by several hours, is just a piss-off to their customers.
Perhaps they've finally learned some PR skills....
If they have a patch to do, there will be maintenance on Tuesdays. While the game is new, there will probably will have maintenance on just about every Tuesday. Some shorter than others. Get used to it. Whining about it isn't going to change it.
I know, D3 is not WoW, but, anyone who played WoW very long should be used to this, as the server/client setup used for D3 is very similar, without having to split into 'realms'.
However, once the new wears off, Tuesday maintenance will be once every month or two, with rolling restarts every couple of weeks. But that's not now. The game's only five weeks old.
And yeah, the 24-hour maint was for the old games (D2, SC1, War3) as far as I know.
The past 3 weeks the days I actually had lots of free time to play I haven't been able to due to maintenance.
Seems to be a long maintenance period at least once a week
Keep in mind there's another 24 hour maintenance coming this week.
missed the 24 hour part, can you provide a link to a blue post saying so?

I was under the same impression.

Let's hope so.
At least we got 1 day off for real life stuff, if D3 is down, Some TV won't hurt.
That is Battle.net 1.0 servers.
Diablo 3, like WoW and SC2, runs on the Battle.net 2.0 servers. Not connected in ANY way, shape, or form.
The very link you provided is to the classic Battle.net forums for those older games specifically.
Not to mention, nowhere in Diablo 3 do you select USEast as your server.
Great, thanks for clearing it up.
