Maintenance Question

[PikachuLink]

I wonder what this 2 hour prime time data center maintenance will accomplish. If their just taking 2 hours to restart servers without fixing lag,90k's,duty finders queuing, and pretty much all the current server side issues etc they need to reconsider what/when they restart servers...

So my question is "What are you fixing?" and don't just say "routine maintenance." I want to know what your'e doing.

I hope it's server transfers, but most likely not...

Hmm, maybe they should just be sure to contact you and ask for permission next time Mr. Self Entitlement.

It's maintenance, no matter what they are or are not doing. It's going to happen. While I do agree it sucks that it's at prime time be glad it's only two hours instead of ten.

It is a mystery.

the best part is when they say "please see the news section for more information" but then theres no additional information

Would you even understand if they were to tell you? This game is driven by massive database(s). Some database updates just can't happen when there's hundreds of thousands of reads/writes happening on it. They can be doing a number of updates on the server side to address glitches/bugs, improving stability. It would also be quite hard to make small server software updates while users are still actively on server. It leads to unpredictable glitches and basically becomes a customer service nightmare.

And why should they give you a detailed report of their activities? Some specific information could potentially give hackers some insight into their infrastructure and open up the potential for server hacks.

Basically, you're on a need to know basis..and you don't need to know.

Someone is feeling somewhat self-important. Go you, you big forum duderino you.

Maintenance means maintenance. Sometimes it's needed; roll with it.
