Emergency maintenance for...

[Jeckyl_Tesla]

First world problems, they can be devastating. Imagine I woke up this morning and I forgot to set the coffee pot to brew before I awoke. Imagine the chaos that is happening here now, I may need to call in the National Guard to restore order.

To be fair, such catastrophes can be averted by switching to tea, and not drinking the devils liquor!

Thats for the afternoon when her majesty stops by to discuss the ongoing issues of the peasants ward.

More goes on in a maintenance than just making a few fixes. Things have to be backed up, changed, tested etc. And it's a good time to do some general hardware maintenance/echsk whilst the game is down for some time, too.

Think about it from another point of view. Imagine the uproar if SE said they'll do a maintenance for 10 minutes, but it takes 2 hours because there were issues with getting the servers back up.

Specifying, and using, a longer amount of time helps to reduce the number of problems that could occur once the servers are made live again.

Just have some patience. It's 3 hours. There's things you can do in that time like eat or sleep or tidy up the house a little. If you're that addicted to the game that 3 hours is just too long then there's bigger problems to worry about.

so....can we expect more "emergency" maint? Those event outfits from Xmas2013+14, helloween 2014, those Yukatas, Bikini sets, all are not dyeable too! o_o

the issue isn't the 3 hours, it's their inability to communicate.

all they had to do was put in another line that was like Server Stability Issues or something like that.

it's basic customer service.

Al that is necessary is already in the EULA.
You get what you signed up for, nothing less.

...this. Really? This was so important that the servers had to go down for three hours? Couldn't this have been rolled into a bigger update? Was it that high-priority?

Didn't read anywhere that now players have the rights to decide what to fix, when to fix, how to fix, and what priority fixes needs to have. You don't like the changelog?

NO! I REFUSE TO SPEND MONEY ON THE CASH SHOP EVEN THOUGH YOU CAN DYE THESE NOW.

>:C ......



D'x

They are not cash shop items if you did the event last year ^^

Hotfix for this was just plain stupid. Could have waited for a scheduled maintenance. Hotfix for a cash shop item lmao.

Didn't read all the comments, but...
They more than likely did some kind of back-end fixes that weren't worth mentioning (or could be detrimental in putting out to the general public, if someone was malicious enough). We won't see the changes but they might - whether it be just some kind of in-house system they're using for tracking data, or changing how the servers are dealing with a piece of code (that we don't see) recently added in last maint... who knows. Maybe they added some more filter terms to help catch more RMTs (considering our growing RMT thread, maybe they're seeing how bad it's getting....... hey I can dream, can't I? :| Any little bit to help ;_; ). Who knows. The dyable VDay wardrobe might just be an extra plus they tossed in on top in their 'To-Do' list for the emergency maintenance - and safe to mention.
