Since you are twice as good as all the lesser realms, you get twice the downtime haha.

You guys are funny...
First you whine about servers being crappy, then when they're upgraded, you whine about ONE day extra downtime. These upgrades are to prepare for TBC.

And, the idea about not being able to create new characters on other servers is a good one...
(Could always let new accounts do it, should be possible to implement?)

Actually, they have stopped character creation before. We generally get 1hour plus queues when people create level 1 gnomes that will never see the light of day again. Regular players on the realms can't usually even log on. It is horrendous.

Normally i wouldn't complain about neccessary downtime for upgrades, but why is another 36 hours neccessary?

Twisting Nether and the rest of the data center has already been down just a few weeks ago for 24 hours of upgrades, then down again for 24 hours because of your ISP, and now we need another 36 hours of upgrades? It isn't reasonable to have such downtime.

I do hope by 36 hours of downtime it's 2 days we get refunded instead of the usual 1 day.

I'm pretty sure they don't do it to annoy you...
Servers are not easy beasts to tame, I have 8 of em I need to maintain...

All realms (on the older WoW sites) have had or will have two periods of extended maintenance for the hardware upgrades. Some had them further apart, some will have them fairly close. I don't think either is much worse or better.

One 60 hour maintenance is not viable due to human considerations and that we also want the system to prove itself stabile after the first part of the upgrades before continuing on the second part. We understand the concerns about the downtime, but this is necessary for the upgrades, and will improve performance also for the future.

INCONCEIVABLE!
