    The Unrest server will be brought offline on Wednesday, February 18, 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.

    3/4 of an hour per letter. That's industry standard.

    If u notice in the last few weeks 1 server each week got a longest maintenance seems its unrest turn this week . It was my server Freeport last week everybody else got 1 hour maintenance but we got 4. I wouldnt worry seems to me that there was less lag after they did this. Probably gonna make the hamster exercize.

    What is the reasoning for bringing only the Unrest server down, and why for 4 hours. Are we getting new hardware?

    Somebody noticed they hadn't defragged the 300TB database file in a few years. ;)

    Defragging, ok, maybe not, but there probably is some kind of maintenance they can do on the database to speed things up - maybe cleaning up left over data from things no longer in game like map fog?

    Yeah, it kind of looks like they are doing a long maintenance on one server each time.. spreading around the pain.

    AB will take the 4 hour hit if it means less lag.

    after raiding last night i cant say it really freed up a whole hell of alot of lag.. we were all still having sporadic lag spikes and some still hitting packet-loss randomly... honestly freeport was business as usual... i raid on both unrest and freeport and unrest has been less laggy than freeport since the last maintenance (this one scares me)

    They're renaming it "Tholuxe Paells" after the legendary EQ1 server that is now extinct!

    And if it means they can at least try to squash some bugs, more power to them. Spread out the pain, indeed; if they can do 1-2 servers per week, even per month if more than one, they can hopefully iron out everything in a year or less. ;->

    So this being a near a week after the "maintenance" i must say..... TAKE IT BACK.... the button lag and fps drop is so far worse than what it was prior to this... On both FP and unrest im having more issues in zones where i never had issues prior to this and its just blah

    From what I've been hearing since my last post here, I'm disappointed: had nothing to do with bug squashes (obviously) but just dungeon cross-server stuff, which seems to have caused more bugs to rear their ugly heads. :(
