Right in middle of raid, loot just dropped and server gets taken down with almost no notice, really sucks tbh.
What sucks is not being given an explanation. If they knew it was coming down (which they evidently did) then there should be something on the boards. I know, I know, we keep saying this and nothing happens, but it sucks.
probably, when server went down, we(AD) had barely opened the chest after grannus. wonder if I get to keep the biff-coins...? are you in AD too?
If all the servers were coming down because of https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/sloshed-gnoll-in-pok.238022/ , that would be a horrible way to just give a minute notice for that. I mean, yeah take the servers down. But was it that urgent to get rid of the task that it had to come down in 60 seconds?
Nope. We hopped around and perma-killed the quest giver. I do not have an answer as to why the server went down, just that it wasn't this.
There was a critical network issue that caused Antonius Bayle to get into a very bad state. The server was brought down to stop mass corruption of data.
Man, it sucks when this kind of thing happens but it is really 100% easier to swallow when there is a decent explanation. Appreciate it Jchan. Hopefully raiders that had their items poof when the server went down can petition and have the items awarded to the appropriate looters.
Thank you for updating us why the server had to come down so fast, really makes a difference to know the reason. Regards
