Every single morning, maintenance downtime. Most MMO's go down once a week, not every day, and they actually get things fixed during downtime.

    Thursday is the normal maint time isn't it? I swore it was.

    Not sure where this 'everyday' thing comes from though.....Oh yeah, its a forum post so it must be far more dramatic then how the reality of it actually is.

    I can see how 2 days can be confused with every day... Wait, sorry I lied.
    Is it better to out-monster the monster or to be quietly devoured?

    3 times in the past week, actually. 4 if you count the mistaken EU maint. shutdown of the NA servers. (Damn interns.)

    It is getting old.

    You mean twice, counting today and the other regular NA day. Three times if you count the EU shutdown as a separate maintenance (which would be ridiculous). Four times if you count a few minutes of unexpected NA downtime as maintenance (which would be almost twice as ridiculous).

    Honestly, don't you guys have anything better to do?

    Well no. Because it's maintenance.

    Haven't you been paying attention?

    It's so people will post useless threads, further clogging the forums with pointless drivel. And to ensure you can keep playing by maintaining hardware/software.

    This forum has gotten worse than the WoW forums when it comes to simple topics like maintenance.

    It's an absolutely terrible representation of the in-game community.

    The fact that they even need 2 maintenance periods per week this long after launch is a testament to how badly this game was designed and how lame their server architecture is.

    It also surprised me how long it takes them to actually patch their servers with updates that really....compared to other MMOs are relatively small. A handful of quest fixes and a couple of stealth nerfs shouldn't take over 4 hours of maintenance.

    Of course, perhaps I am just bitter because I live in Australia, perhaps if I lived in a country with a consumer base Zenimax actually gave a damn about - I'd be fast asleep when they kept bringing the servers down, and I wouldn't care :)

    Right. So you're ignoring the fact that most regular maintenance periods never take the full 4 hours? I mean, it's normal. Most people who don't actually understand the need for maintenance tend to overstate the amount of downtime experienced due to maintenance. But if you focus, you'll be able to overcome that selective memory.

    Don't be so quick to judge. I live in the states myself, but working nights I get to spend far too much time with my Aussie brethren, and suffer through the multimaintenances each week just as they do.

    oohhhh you must be referring to the maintenance periods where they don't actually update the game, but still need to pull down the servers for 2 hours or so. Here's what I know - there are MMO companies that can patch to live servers....there's one MMO I've played that patched large patches to the servers in under 2 hours. There's a new release MMO that is pushing out hot fixes to live servers or quite large game patches in under 1.5 hours.

    But if it makes you feel better, you keep thinking that the amount of downtime compared to actual game fixes here is ok.

    Oh look, maintenance is done. In 1:15. Just like last week.

    And if you don't think they apply minor hotfixes for stability and security during these shorter periods, then I really don't know how to help you.
