Aether Worlds offline question

[Grimmel]

What was even the problem? I hear people calling this a "Fatal" or "Lethal" issue with the Aether Worlds, no where that I have read so far has even bothered to explain WHAT the problem is.

If you're referring to my separate post from this in which I used the word lethal - I was over dramatizing the situation to elicit a discussion of the issue and what may be it's cause.

Excluding everyone from all the servers of a data center is a huge problem, dont you agree? and at least from what i know(please correct me if they did tell us the cause of the problem), they didnt tell us nothing but 'we're having of techinical dificulties', soo we dont know what the problem is exactly or what is causing it.

They rarely tell us what the problem is... if ever.
It's none of our business for the most part, we're all just nosy and want to know.

Not to mention if you start announcing problems with your programs, machines, so on so forth, it will cause a downward spiral of misinformation and serious doubt, amongst both the players and the projects partners.

I see the issue here. OP thinks "ALL SERVERS" are currently under maintenance because of how it's worded on the website.

All Aether Data Center Worlds Emergency Maintenance

He sees all and assumed it was all worlds, and I will admit that it's a redundant to use "All" in this scenario because "Aether Data Center Worlds Emergency Maintinence" is actually all the information you would need to know that said Data Center is down.

But no OP, only the Aether Data Center is down atm, not All Data Centers and to further expand, the reason they refrain from doing certain patches like the Tuesday/Monday one and tonight's at and earlier time is because they plan the patches to be done after the weekly reset. So even if they could do tonight's patch earlier it would conflict with DOH/DOL weekly reset which is something they try to avoid.

yeeeahhhh its only Aether that's down right now.

Here's hoping it goes up before I need to go to bed tonight.

Aaaaaaand its gone beyond the scheduled time in which they said this emergency maintenance would take *sigh*

I was just discussing with my discord that I was waiting for someone to make this very post. Thank you for making my prediction come true.

I just hope someone is generous and posts here when they come back up. Frustrating to keep starting the client to check data center only to be kicked out of the program.
