Server Downtime for DB Maintenance February 11, 2014 6 AM PT (3 PM CET)

That's atrocious.

Both of these are valid concerns, but I can't help but think those are issues that could have been dealt with by locally managed servers in or around the regions played in. But I'm not a network wizard, I'm just guessing how this Al Gore voodoo internet thing works.

Either way, the five hour mark has fifty minutes to go, and if SOE's hardware guys can find their ***(sets) with both hands, we should be in good shape. We'll see.

probably they are they just 4 hours to coffee drinking and 1 hour fixing

what does it all mean? why is it taking sooo long?

Downtime ETA: 9 hours
sigh

someone has to get it why not the EU

I am sure North America is the main source of revenue stream most updates will be centered around that info.

roll out at 6am pt for usa, 3pm pt for eu servers... problem solved...

11 am, is 5 hours from 6 am PT. shouldn't the servers be up

I'm telling you to coffee drinking

good point!

Is this still going to take long, darn I was hoping to play tonight
imfabiohello hahaha

Sorry, I made the assumption that SOE would adjust the downtime for each region to have the least impact on the players. My bad...

1. There is no way 3pm - 8pm CET is the global downtime (most other MMO including SOE ones usually do it at around 11am - Noon CET) - which unsuprisingly is EXACTLY the time that PS2 shows it's lowest point of loggings on the player sites.

2. It is ALWAYS europe (not randomly someone) that gets the smelling end of the patch times, many MMOs even split regional patch times (although if they did it at 11am CET this would be less of an issue).

Yep! I am gathering intel!

It looks like our DB Maintenance is complete and we'll be starting to open up the servers soon. Rejoice Auraxians!

Damn i'm so glad i canceled my sub

Thankfully I do have other things to do during downtime.. It is just funny the day after I finally get back into playing, it goes into maintenance.. Oi..

well I hope they hurry up and get it back up I just started playing yesterday and I really enjoyed it.

it is now the umpteenth time that its begin to be funn

Well DB, would hold everybody's account info, as unlocks, certs etc. So it could turn all kinds of pear shaped knowing SOE.

Yes there estimated time is up , 11 minutes past it should be up with in the next couple minutes..

I think what SOE needs to do for estimated times is to schedule for problems so they have a dead line they can actual meet or beat and make players perception improve.
