We will perform routine platform maintenance today at 10AM PT. During this maintenance, active sessions will be lost and players will be kicked from servers (players should be able to immediately log back in). We expect this maintenance to last about two hours.
I got kicked with main about half an hr ago. Cant get back in. Logged box and rebooted system, now no one can get in.

Different maintenance. Today is patch day. Look at the other notice in this forum. Down at 4am for about 5 hours. Should have about 3 more hours.
Two different things, yesterday was server maintenance, and game was up after it ended. Today is a seperate maintenance plus patch day.
Oh I managed to miss both the post and the giant red announcement at the top of the page somehow, my fault guys.
Server maintenance was probably in preparation for the software patching. Could be something as simple as swapping memory modules or testing new GPUs before rolling the dice on one big mega-boondogle of a maint period that we have seen in the past.
Great, means their 5 hour patch turns into 8 or 10 or 12 and my one day off goes to hell to try to accomplish anything in game. Guess I'll go RL somewhere.
Same here Kccarnage, my only day off to, they really need to be more transparent on what they r doing and how long they r doing it and WHEN they r doing it, dont think ill be paying another month
Are you guys serious? You never noticed on your "one day off" that the Monthly patches have occurred on the 3rd Wed of the month for at least the last two years? It is also listed in EQ Resource Calendar in addition to the in game Calendar, notes in these forums and some other places I am missing. Yeah everyone will say they don't have time to check any of those places. Not sure what other kind of notice you want? Edit: or better yet take your phone calendars, word or work calendars or sticky note it on the frig with every third Wed as patch day till the end of the year.
