I went to bed last night (I'm in the UK) about 2am and they'd just brought the server down a second time. It's locked now I see. I can't be bothered to read all the threads - what happened over the last 8 hours?
Am in UK also, went to bed last night hoping would wake up and the server will be ready to go Oh well just one of those things,hopefully will be up this evening sometime.
Seems like they found the problem, and hopefully corrected it. Something to do with old coding causing a rare problem. One that becomes visible when thousands of people are there .They're going to try and open it up later today. Someone said they're shooting for another 3pm Pacific window, but I couldn't find a source for that. Possible it was said during testing. --Jade
They fixed the level 50 bug but there's still one involving certain race/class/gender combinations spawning with absolutely no items. Therefore, several more test runs were done including one full character wipe and a second will be done later this morning once (or perhaps after) they're confident that they have the issues handled. The tentative plan is one more test run this morning and then a full release in 10? Hours at 12pm PDT, depending on the progress of the issue. Presumably beta not having this problem was a result of newbie zone instancing not being required on that server so there being a lack of proper environment to get this particular issue to show its face. Everyone that has been able to do anything to help, including the players, have been assisting with it all night. Everyone is having a spot of rest now. Further updates will be posted to various staff's twitter pages with one of the most notable being the glorious and talented Holly Longdale: https://twitter.com/TheWindstalker
The latest estimate was noon tomorrow but don't count on that or make plans for it!! Absor said that it was a hope more than set in stone. Now would be the perfect time to get some stuff done and then lose yourself when it does get up and going. Me, I'm going to say goodbye to my friends and family. They won't be seeing me again until June or July of 2017. EQ was the only game I've ever stayed up three days straight for. It was for epics.
3pm PST is 11:00pm for us, oh well the sun is shining guess will head to the pub in the afternoon and waste my day off that way instead
Here's the reference for the noon quote for you, btw. https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq...ssue-is-the-server-fixex.221270/#post-3228197
Absor didn't say it will open at noon, he said noon is optimistic (which means that it will likely be much later than that.)
UK here as well. Glad I decided to go to bed at 11:30 As much as 12pm PDT would be a good time (8pm for us), I'll be anything it's 3pm again, oh well, so long as they get it working, whats an extra day
Yeah that would be a good time for us! But we'll probably spend the evening constantly refreshing the forums
Same here, although I'll be getting in at 8pm tonight, so the timing would be brilliant However, I might need a new F5 key before that
