If you look in the Announcements Forum you will see that yes indeed there is a patch and server hardware upgrade.

Yes it is being patched. Why don't you try reading the forums/news?

I guees they figured it was more important to get the servers patched and back up than to update the server status on the website?

If you mean on the actual log on screen for the game then I agree that it shouldn't say it is open when it isn't. That's definately a bug.

My point though was that I'm sick of people spamming the forums with messages along the lines of "is the server down", "why can't I get on" etc. when all they have to do is read the announcements and any other number of posts about upcoming patches.

And OF COURSE you should read the announcements! How else are you going to keep up to date with upcoming events/patches etc?????

If you had read the announcements/posts you wouldn't have wasted your time even BOTHERING to log on today! :)

OK so the shard is down. That is all fine and well. But is it so terribly difficult to tell everybody that under serverstatus on the homepage. How hard can it be? Now I realize that one can't trust what it says in server status, which sucks...big time, concidering the difficulty of the problem. And it was the same thing last down time.

Improvement please!!!

The shard is open, for patching, so you dont have to patch when the shard opens for playing.. it's just soooooo much faster :)

I must say that this is one of those little things that make a game have a solid, through and through well programed/constructed feel to it.. It is a very simple thing to do so why not do it? I think we can all agree that the 'server status' link should not say 'server up' if you can't actually log in and play. Having to go to a forum and read a bunch of messages should imho not be needed, it's not a huge deal, just one of those that makes the overall feel of/for the game just a little bit better, and every little bit counts! :)

Another one of those little things is for example sometimes when i use the self heal the game gives me some weird message like <Heal.Self..yadayadayada..not.available.xxx>, i mean i know what it's 'supposed' to say so i don't really care but it certainly doesn't make the game any better now does it? Well that's just my two cents.. take care out there, it's a dangerous world
