Can't enter besieged battle

[Maddog]

As soon as servers went up I went to get my new voidwatch abyssite and saw that Mamool Savages had just hit the city. So after getting my tavnazian abyssite i changed to monk and went to Al Zahbi.

Im currently standing in Al Zahbi and besieged battle is not initiated. I've rezoned a couple of times and this did not help.

there is always an extra delay after a maintenance, even though they should be attacking. Forget exactly how long it is, like an hour or something. It's something they implemented a few years back because after a long maintenance, servers were getting ravaged because of low attendance.

Hello Maddog,

Thank you for posting your concern about Besieged. As Raist has mentioned, to avoid having the beastmen hordes attacking and taking over the city while maintenance is occurring, there is a delay in when the next Besieged battle begins. The delay does not occur for long, but please let us know if there is still a problem after a few hours and we'll be happy to see what we can do for you. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
