    Can I download the new patch while servers are down?

    I started playing after "a real awoken" was released so 2.2 will be my first major patch. Since we won't be able to play the game for a whole day, I was wondering if it would be possible downloading the patch on the 26th so that I'll be able to play as soon as servers have been restored.

    Also, is it safe? Or would it be better downloading the new patch after the maintenance?

    We have no information as to when they are actually releasing 2.2, but since we have this 24 hour maintenance its safe to say they won't release the patch until the last couple hours before this is done. You might be able to play when the servers are restored, but what you must understand is, this maintenance is also improving the server structure for instancing, this could go over time, just because it says 1am 25th to 2am 26th, doesn't mean "this is for sure the time" it could go on longer, and it could be shorter.

    Sure, I wrote this thread because I read somewhere in the forum that someone will be using this "extra time" to download the patch, which actually seemed quite odd to me - but I thought it was worth asking.

    Typically the update goes live for downloading some time before the servers are back up. You will be able to see it on lodestone's front page in the Update tab/icon.

    I don't mean to sound rude to anyone, I'm just confused. Can someone link to me where they said they'd be what time they'd be releasing 2.2. I've never seen this information. For me, the patch is done at the earliest hours of the 26th, so I wouldn't have time to download 2.2 while its going on (i'm pdt), but...maybe in different time zones, if they release 2.2 towards the end of this maintenance, people will have the time to download it, is what I think is going on. But I can't be sure unless I had some post that said the actual time they are releasing 2.2, not just date.

    My apologies! I didn't want to sound rude too, lately i've started seeing lots of aggressive people and maybe I'm starting to act like them as well. Sorry.
    Anyway, i had a hard time finding that post again, i believe that it was in a thread where they were talking about the 24h maintenance, it was opened just after the producer letter. It's not a big problem though, I'll just download it as soon as it becomes available - if I am home. Maybe being GMT+1 will help :-)

    The maintenance notices show up in the launcher (all that blue text), the lodestone (again, blue text... some will have [Red Text] if really important), and in the Information section up at the top of the forums (Maintenance, Updates, Status sections).

    They announced the patch was installed at 06:52 PDT. It appears they are mirroring them. I updated a couple hours ago and it was downloading it from an Akamai server out in the the midwest and not from a Canada based IP.

    You may download the patch now. If you cannot, that means your having trouble with your launcher. If you are getting the version error, refer to my thread on how to fix it.
