Why does the server have to restart sometimes ?

As I stated before I play wow here since MoP . Even in that period the server had certain times when it had to restart(even unannounced).

I appreciate that in nowadays(for example yesterday) is always a thing that is announced in the chat , with a nice timer included .

But the question is : "Why does it have to restart sometimes ?"

I'm sorry if this is quite of a stupid question , but I don't understand how's this working

Hello,
As fixes are being done on a daily basis, and all of them are applied first to the PTR (public test realm), after which they require a server restart in order to be applied to the live realm as well.
