Yea what Nilly said. We need to know when to have our support group meeting so all of us don't go into the shakes.

just had a random thought, no chance of putting the new island on a test server and allow all access while you play with the shards?

obvisously the characters wouldnt be able to transfer back into the live game, but might give your more addicted customers something to do :-)

Heya !

Just wondering when exactly, players get to know the Shards shutdown schedule. (So I can plan some other things to get over the addiction :P )

- we talked about it some time ago in this Q&A. This patch will require the shards to be down several days, to ensure everything goes well.

As we will most likely patch this month (May), we inform you right now that we will need to close the servers for 4 days. This heavy technical patch will prepare the shards for the NPE and, later, the Ring release.

We will tell you more about that patch later this month. Stay tuned!
i would really like to know when these four days will be since i just (litterally) signed up for a 7day free trial. If the server is down during 4 days of my 7 day trial, will you give me 4 more free days? Or do i not even have to worry about this? Ive been looking for when the server will be down all over the cite and been unsuccessful at finding this out.
