Please fix the Store

I wonder how they keep their jobs.
Couldn't let this happen at mine.

Launch day will be fun, it always is.

I can just imagine:

19th June: Servers BOOM from the surprise that people need to patch and actually attempt to play the game (weekend ahead, ofc it is totally normal to not fix problems).
23rd of June: Servers just came back up and crash once more from the new wave of people trying to play while the Early Access crowed is STILL attempting to play. Reopening tba.

Sorry, all you had to do was allocate more bandwidth to your stores. Alas, this was too much to ask for

I do hope they learned from the ARR launch that there will be a BOOM if they don't get themselves ready.

Like I say, better safe than sorry.

MAINTENANCE UPDATE

We will have a store restoration ETA by 945am for you. Although we can't guarantee it, which time will be best for you?

What is "ETA"?

[Ferentar]

What is "ETA"?

ETA: Estimated time of arrival. Aka when it will be might be up again or done with maintenance

[Chessala]

What is "ETA"?

Estimated Time of Arrival. Means they are currently hoping the shop will be back around 10 AM GMT (seeing it is the EU store)

[Konata]

estimated time of arrival

What is "ETA"?

Normally "Estimated Time of Arrival" but to be honest that is a weird way of using it (but english isn't my mother language so maybe that way of using it is ok and i just don't know)

Read what they write. It's not when it will be back. It's when they will have a decent time estimate to tell us when it will be up again.

I wouldn't put too much hope into it if I were you. I work in a gaming company and they never learn. They always underestimate the load that patching and people trying to play puts on their servers. Add to that that patches will snail anyway and if you did not buy the physical game, 20 GB is QUITE the patch.
