5 hour emergency maintenance with 10 minutes notice...

[Killashandra_Rei]

Hmmmm this seems oddly familiar....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZU44zSlJQag

I am just glad they are doing it at a time I do not play...yay for me! I seem get jacked every time their is maintenance and this time it is not me....they better not announce another one tonight from 11 to 2am...that will suck.

Why are people pissed when they can't play for 10/24 hours? Does that really effect you? If you are complaining that that is your only time to play, then obviously you have other things in your life that can take up your time. Ya'll just need some sunshine.

How will we know when it's back up? Just a case of keep trying to log in?

Sometimes, server is back up like 15 to 30 minutes before the stated time. E.g. in five hours, quite possibly four hours forty-five minutes. That and communism was just a red "herring."

While ppl are bitching here and there, it's about 1 AM when they started this emergency maintenance, and they're slaving their asses the whole night till sunrise to fix this problem.

While I admit that I'm also disappointed, I do feel the pressure they had, taken from my own experience working in IT field, sacrificing our sleep just to make sure the system would be ready when official work hours started. And having worked at company that's actually on 24 hours services, having directors from other departments barging through our doors and keep checking the progress even makes this more tense. And even had to hunt through disposable area looking for used cardboard boxes for our emergency sleeping mattresses, making us no difference than beggars. And yet, we have to fight our drowsiness just to concentrate on status displays. To make it worse, we actually had to camp at office for days, even weeks. Had to pop some pills and emergency vitamins just to keep our bodies in check.

ah... those were the days I had... lol

Anyways, time to sleep. lol

The last two days, we'd get people with 90k errors in every duty we were in. Left and right, people would be asking in the FC chat or LS for someone of some role to join a duty in progress to take their place. For instance, we did a Tam-Tara completely without a healer up to the final boss, then had a friend enter the duty in progress to help us finish it. Or a Brayflox's Longstop where the tank vanished into disconnection hell after the first boss and needed to be replaced.

Then there was an announced maintenance. This went faster than announced. Cool. I was actually on for a bit and got to play a bit during a break.

I hope they fix whatever has been broken lately, because the last patches have introduced all sorts of issues, it seems. I for one appreciate that they're just doing it and not wasting any time on explaining what was broken till after the fact.
