Sorry, wasn't trying to come off rude, I would just think they would have a very simple and clearly defined method with 13 years of experience with issues like this under their belts.
There probably is one. Sunday at 11:30am (EST) probably just has slower time frame for implementing it.
Fair reason, but also think that it is ever changing, dispite being old, and resources cannot always be spent in such an old game. I am pretty sure what senior designers they have that used to program here are programming elsewhere now. They are probibly working off a skeliton crew that would force the fixes to take longer no matter how much they knew.
Some yellow text in game would be nice since I HAD all accounts logged in. I read what happened while I was asleep and innocently decided it was a good time to reboot. *.Lee of Povar
I am sure they will get right on making those in game announcements for nonscheduled maintenance time periods.
Normally, I would agree with you on this, but... I was in game when this unscheduled maintenance started. There was no warning something was about to happen. No "Servers coming down in X minutes, camp someplace safe." messages. Not even a countdown to doom on my connection status. Just doing my own thing and suddenly in mid interaction with a quest NPC, a black disconnect screen. I couldn't have done it faster if I had yanked the power cord out of my computer. Whatever it was that happened it was sudden and since it affected ALL of SOE's online games and boards, it must have been massive.
Hey folks, The servers should be in the process of coming up now. Taking a look into it. I need to level my zerk myself heh. Thanks,
The Beta server was up and I was playing on that. I think this is all just a ploy for us to give them more feedback on RoF!
