Servers down for patching

[plangent]

The servers will be coming down for patching at 5:00am Eastern Daylight Time. This will be a serverside patch only. They should be down for about an hour.

Would be nice if we had gotten an in-game notification of SOME type before they were just dropped........gesh - come on folks - your GM staff has been doing SO good and things like this erase lots of the 'good'....

They did post it 25mins before they did it, not sure about prior to actually shutting them down though, cause I just jumped off when I got the notice.

*Agrees*

That was kind of lame, just a sudden dead link while I'm in the middle of a fight. Sat and waited a few minutes thinking it would pass...

Well I didn't notice it if they did - but regardless - they should do the "standard" announcements at -15 minutes, -10 min., -5 min., -1 min., then poof.

My opinion only but just seems 'fair' to us that might have missed the one sole announcment 30 minutes previous (especially if I just logged in afterwards...).

I think what molari is geting at is the fact that we all know about the lag issume at around 1:30 every morning, and most all of us know that the few times they had to reset server, they did with a 5min timer on top of screen. If they can do that for emergencies, what is the big differnence with a scedualed patch that they cant put a message up. Hell, I didnt even see the 25min notice, but I will admit that i heard someone talking about it. We are gaming junkys for being up at 5:00am, so give us a break! =P ..hehe, just saying that it would be nice to get the service as when there is an emergency as for normal patches. That's just imo anyways.

patch notes?

I think it would be helpful to see the in-game notifications in the middle of the screen instead of at the bottom and in a larger font. Also, like tonight, a second warning just before going down.

Yeah I saw the 25 minute warning then sorta forgot about it... a 5 and 1 minute warning would be cool as well. I wonder how long it will be down for, I might just go to bed if it doesn't come back up soon...
