Server Downtime for Patch February 20, 2014 6 AM PT (3 PM CET)

That's the spirit boy. Go get that beer and take a good ol' swig.

Jaeger

Im with you.

They can't wake up! It's barely mid-day in the US!

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think it rather pointless to complain .. their maintenance have always been in prime time for Europeans since PlanetSide 1 .
Your still paying money for the game and you are still logging in when they are done so why would they ever change it. Doing it at
3 pm CET is in the morning where they are. So doing it in the morning for us would mean that they would have to go to work in the middle of the night or delegate the update to someone situated here in Europe.

If you want to state your unhappiness don't give them money and go play something else.

OK, I assume that the "Old Character Wipe" failed and now all characters are wiped and the panic level of the devs is slowly but continuously increasing.

Maybe we should get panic as well?

Should be after this, those 3 downtimes last week and the constant server crashes. At least i hope we get something good out of this

Double XP would be nice, EU customers have suffered alot of issues of late...patching hitting primetime to offen both for weekly patch and hotfixing, login server issues, server crashes, database issues.

i get ur point but on the other hand if it was just a long downtime then that would be fine its the fact that when they patch tyhere is major lag, as well as a whole bunch of hot fixs this should not be the case like i said their work is shotty and comp pros have agreed and called them out for it

They just removed the ETA... it sounds bad.

No more ETA

Instead of making eachother jealous of beers and stuff (I can't have one so shut up ) can we not entertain eachother with nice vids or something? I'll start off:

Okay, I never post but I had to finally log in to do so after seeing so much ******** about the servers going down during EU primetime.
Think for a moment here. Use that thing between your ears to do something OTHER than complain, and think.

Here is the population tracker.

The time that patches occur regularly line up with the lowest point in overall population. I hate to break it to you guys, but SOE doesn't care whose primetime gets hit as long as the game is at its lowest overall pop - thus affecting the FEWEST AMOUNT OF PLAYERS - and not just one demographic.

To all the people being scared about it asking you to select a faction instead of just going straight to your character select screen...this must be the first patch you have encountered.....or you just started a week ago.

remember the last 2xp we got it was cut in half for hot fix lol XD

LOL @ ETA removed! Oh gawsh, we're up for another turd-speaking-whiner-fest...

Will the servers ever come back? Is planetside gone forever? Is my ,life a lie?

But you have to admit with ALL THE DOWNTIME issues that have been going on it's not good enough, If I were a business and my server KEPT going down I would be pee'd off with not only the loss of income BUT Potentionally CUSTOMER'S for a BIG COMPANY LIKE SOE IT IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH

Great SOE, once again you ruined a LAN event.
