Servers are down, what am I missing this time?

SOE is getting into the habit of bringing the servers down without warning anyone, making modifications without telling anyone etc..

where's your PR people? Or did you get budget? :/

Yeah, it's getting annoying.

even SOE is surprised that the servers are down

Did you guys check reddit they may have posted it was going down on reddit. Yeah or twitter. Anywhere but an ingame or forum announcement.

I saw the server maintenance message. I don't see a problem here. I rather have them doing their jobs in keeping stable servers than having it run for days and crashing, or having weird glitches.

*Double post*

Hotfix, that's why.

Down for 5 minutes for a quick bit of maintenance. Welcome to the world of server management. Turns out you can't run them 24/7 - who knew...

They are doing an update. There will be patch notes soon.

Hopefully it fixes alot of bugs.

they sleeping i think they are in PST

it's generally accepted in the world of MMO that when servers are taken down a bit of warning or information is provided to the customers.

Turns out they do like to know. Who would have thought? oO


(any other smart *** comments? )

I assumed the 'down for 5 minutes' bit was clear enough - but I'll have to dumb it down a bit more.

It's just down for a short time - go grab a coffee or something. Do the devs have to hold you hand the whole time for even the slightest thing? Do you really need warning for such a tiny fragment of lost game time?

I'd understand if it was for hours, then I'd admit you've got a reason to throw your toys around.

And it would be a distinct improvement if Launchpad did the rather simple job of checking the servers to see if they're up - maybe showing some info as to when they're going to be back if a scheduled downtime - instead of just launching the game which then freezes at 15% loading and has to be killed off.

where did that 5 minutes come from anyway?

Since there was no information released, where are you getting your info?

PS it's been more than 5 minutes arlready ^^

Stop ******** and whining like a bunch of snot-nosed school children. Oh wait, nvm. You are. Please continue.

You made it all the way to the forums and didn't see the server status box at the top of the page?

hmmm downloaded 39,000 KB patch.

it makes me wonder ....

Awesome, took me literally instead of getting the implied meaning.

90 minutes*

I wouldn't call that a "tiny fragment of time" especially not considering its like, 9:30pm for me.. So 11pm? Thanks guys

you should see the whining in public transport when the trains are late...

and that's just one example of many, when services aren't good, people whine, including adults

thanks
