Still can't get that login server figured out huh....

I think it is more likely that the reason why this is not getting truly "fixed" and only fixed until next time. Is someone above the Dev's, IT guys, etc paygrade, is not willing to let them spend the money to actually Fix the problem. Of course they will never tell us if that is true and who it is because then we could actually take our complaints to that person

Well I for one am VERY surprised their "5 hour maintenance" wasn't back up at 5 hours. They have such a good track record of being on time!

"some players"? seriously?

Second attempt

Is it just me, or is this getting to be pretty much a weekly thing?

......I pay per month for this game...... ...

ALL MY BOYS IN THE CHAT

As popular as the Halasian Battle bear was-(and I still want one)- I'd say make a Rallos Zek ogre style version and put it in the daybreak store and use that to pay for a new login server

Wow, that was not nice...

Here's a noble idea for the folks at ; Set the downtime to 2 x what the "estimated downtime" is and maybe come out looking like heroes/ninjas/mightiest dwarves in all Azeroth. OK, so you think it's gonna be 5 hours? Set it to 10 hours, that way, if, in the EXTREEEEEEEEMELY small chance, you do get things done in 5 hours, you'll be worshiped as newer/better tech monkies!

Not really sure why they put the patch out at all. One of the devs said that 99.9% of the dev team was working on the expansion. But daybreak knows that every time they patch, they waste an entire day trying to get servers back up. Wouldn't you just skip the patch for a couple months? It's not like the game is in a terrible state. All the patch did was nerf a few classes.

I, for one, thank Daybreak for this much needed break in the action. Finally found time to clean the pool and it's filter, mow the lawn, water the plants and trees, and play with the dogs. Don't be afraid to unplug....

Sadly, 'tis true:

They missed the 10-hour window.

don't be afraid to be a responsible adult and get your priorities done before playing the game. if you need 'unscheduled patch downtime' to take care of your life... god help you.

Having worked in enterprise IT for longer than I'd like to remember, it's very clear what's at issue here. Not enough redundancy. Single point of failure. You have a single hamster, on a single wheel. What you need is a RAIH setup. 0+1 would probably work. That way if you "throw a hamster" you should be okay until you can get a new one in there. Nice thing, with today's wheels all the hamsters I've been working with are hot swap.

I voted yes for flex fuels.

How is this a reoccurring issue? Oh btw fix flagging for Underfoot and beyond on tlp's.

Funny.... now I can log in... but all servers locked...

I think its time for a destressing naked gnome marathon from Akannon to Erudin.
