Well sometimes you cannot get notified days in advance. Yes it sucks but that's life.
Well it's obviously life in this game, since they don't seem to have a clue what they are going to do next. After all any company that doesn't even know what they are going to be doing 24 hours in advance would have to be as bad as Turbine wouldn't it? Do they honestly not know enough to warn their staff in advance what they will be working on the next day? Because I seem to remember when we used to get at least a couple of days warning about PLANNED downtime! So who makes the decision and how far in advance is it really made?
