    Don't worry they will roll back 30 minutes of game time.

    Now, they're calling it, "scheduled."

    If you can come here to post your displeasure on this then you could have see the post yesterday around 11 am

    All EverQuest live servers will be brought offline on Wednesday, September 22, 2021 at 8:00 a.m. PDT to apply an emergency fix for instances not properly functioning. Downtime is expected to last approximately 3 hours.

    Since this was an emergency patch it does not qualify for the countdown.

    You don't schedule "emergency" patches, that's just incredibly stupid.

    A reminder of 1 hour / 30 minutes would have been a nice gesture, especially for those who do not visit the forums as that is the only place it was posted.

    No matter what they do, always some basement dwellers that will complain as they think playing this game 24/7 has higher priority than all other events in the world. No amount of notice will be enough and the patch, normal or emergency, always comes on the wrong time. And as emergency says in the word its not planned long time ahead. So be happy they have the emergency patch to fix stuff and do not wait until next normal patch where you get the count down to when patch starts.

    OR..... Maybe I don't read the forums, and this was a rare look to find out why? What would cause me to do that. Oh wait, because they didn't give normal in game notice? Hence my original post.

    Sorry about the lack of the usual 30 minute warning, it was an accident.

    I hope no pets were killed in the making of this patch.

    was also posted on the EQ discord, so no, forums was not the only place, i dont use twitter, but maybe there too?
  13. Leerah Augur

    I've been banned from Twitter 3 weeks because I refuse to capitulate to their "fact checkers." I left the EQ Discord forum because I refuse to give them a phone number. I know that's only if I want to post but it's too tempting to respond.
    It's a hard life having principles.

    I have their #announcements-and-news channel locked in on our server's discord to its own channel, though people still say, "What? There is a patch today?"
    I am on EQ's discord, but I haven't registered my number to post. Which may be good, I get into enough arguments here.

    It's not like this is the place to talk about real world problems, politics, disasters, wars, etc.

    I just would like them to use the raid emote method to plaster the server going down in the middle of the screen, easy to lose in combat/chat spam.
