I work in IT, so I know despite best efforts things happen. This is just a curious event. I haven't counted exactly but it looks like at least 2 dozen US servers are off-line. Clearly budget isn't the issue, or is it? Does Blizz shoestring their IT department like many corporations and this is the result? True they have pretty darn good uptime, at least by my standards, but it makes me wonder what it takes from a people and dollars perspective to obtain IT absolution?

Anyway, just musings.
