Both the Everfrost and Butcherblock servers will be brought offline on Thursday, February 19, 2015 at 4:00AM Pacific* for server maintenance. This server is estimated to be unavailable for approximately four hours. Keep an eye on the EverQuest II forums and social media for status updates and for news if additional downtime is needed. *Convert to your local time
Hnh! That's actually...interesting! I sincerely hope this gives the devs, techs, etc. a way to finely scrub each server (or pair/group of servers) free of clingy bug situations...if we did that once a month for each, rotating among them, and it worked, that would actually be pretty awesome! Let's see; how many servers do we have, again...? Antonia Bayle, Butcherblock, Crushbone, Everfrost, Freeport, Guk, Nagafen (PvP), Oasis, Permafrost, Sibilis (Japan), Splitpaw (UK), Storms (France), Test (Public Test), Unrest, Valor (Germany), a couple in Russia I'm forgetting... ::looking up quickly:: Barren Sky and Harla Dar (yee gods, out of 17 active servers, I've got toons on 12 of them). Have one server (or pair) come down for a few hours each week (I know, I know, but see above parenthetical note; I feel your pain), you could easily get all of them covered in a year. Could be done!

the best for everquest 2 1 big server ... merge all of them or better yet 2 servers 1 pvp 1 pve ... simple with 2 servers running more people to group/raid/guilds ... better market and I bet low maintenance cost. And yes they're games out there with 1 server ... like eve online ... ESO but hey just me
Merriel they did say somewhere that they were going to be doing a bunch of back end work based on the acquisition by CN. There is probably a lot of updating that needs to be done that does not directly affect us and thus they will not post exactly what is being done.
According to last night's live stream, some of the back-end work involves updating the server OS as part of the ongoing DB change.
