Geewiz Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 I was told that downtimes would be in off peak hours. Wrecking a whole day of play for us east coasters here who work. In the future i hope this will be taken into consideration? Do what you need to do, but do it in the middle of the night for whatever timezone the effected server will be in. If they all need to come down at once, do it starting at like 3am eastern time, so that very few American players (the majority of your player base) will be effected. Especially when you are in the grace period.... this seems like bad form (here have this free play time....ooops we lied, we are gonna muck around with the servers instead. I would cry, but it might short out my keyboard.
Paragons Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 (edited) ...this is the end of early access; that's why they are down lol. They are setting up for the official launch at midnight. The grace period is for people who bought the box, so they can enter their "live" key; because retailers were behind. ( Has nothing to do with play time.) Edited December 20, 2011 by Paragons
mmatthews Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 The game is going live. Every mmo i've been a part of launch for has gone down the night before live. They had to take them down now so they could make sure to have them back up by 12am est when the game actually goes live. I know it sucks but they had to do it in order to bring up new servers and implement any last fixes. Only other downtime i know of is going to be on the 22nd i think for when the grace period ends. I would like to know what day they are planning on having their scheduled downtimes on though.
Ishkibaha Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 Deep breath bro... Servers are down to prep for official launch. Enjoy the launch I'll see you when they come up.
Seigyoku Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 Technically they said the early access would end at something like 10-11pm EST Dec. 19th. I wonder if the grace period was an excuse to move that forward? X) Just kidding... Honestly, it's one day.
