    It will be a few hours (at least.) It could be more than three, and we didn't state "three." Until we know for sure, we're wary of giving an exact timeframe, but we will absolutely keep everyone updated here and on our social media channels.

    For now, to be on the safe side, we're looking at a few hours, possibly less.

    Can we get a "Thank you" option to go with with the "Insightful" etc. tags?

    Every time someone swears, it gets replaced with three asterisks. There's only one three-letter swear word that I know of. I read that in the place of every set of three asterisks. It makes for some amusing sentences.

    why would you ever leave lol
    Because the megaserver comes back up?
    Pretty sure this will be a ghost town when they do, except for the few stragglers taking their time and reading slowly, and those who still wanna rage about dumb stuff that nobody will listen to.
    id hope you would leave if the server was up.... come on now.

    The question on everybody's mind:

    Can we get a rough ballpark ETA? Because you ladies and gentleman have been dangling a carrot in front of us.

    That's why people are agitated. Some of us have been here almost 8 hours waiting around, and seeing "Soon(tm)" messages.

    If someone had told us 8 hours ago "We'll be down for a while, please check in in the morning" I would have gone to sleep.

    Totally understandable and fair, @Sarenia. You're right. We'll keep that in mind if we have a long downtime like this again. For now, to be on the safe side, we're looking at a few hours, possibly less.

    I laughed when I read this considering "a few hours" was used at 1:00am EST. IMO that's not a reliable update.

    Just saying!

    My excuse wasn't even Launch in this. In fact I don't think I've really mentioned launch at all in my comment.

    Your entire thread reeks of launch references with your mention of your experience in 'system rollouts and implementation' and the complaints always being the same and multiple mention of bugs and 'fixing bugs left in game'.




    My whole POINT was about how Unscheduled maintenance works, and how people freak out about it, even though they've seen it a million times before.

    There are no excuses in my thread, there's ideology. Insofar as Launches do go if you want to talk launches, this is probably one of the smoothest MMO launches in ages.

    I simply tried to explain why a lot of companies do things the way that they do. I'm sorry you didn't like my post.

    Thank you @ZOS_JessicaFolsom‌ for the estimated timeframe. Its good to know what the issue was now that it has been posted. I see they also posted intended downtime for this morning to fix some of the issues we players have been having.

    We already had a patch planned for this morning before the inventory issue arose last night. The patch will fix some of the issues you all have been experiencing (we'll have patch notes up shortly this morning.) So, we're pushing that during this downtime as well.

    My only complaint is that Jessica's post should have come earlier. As was said previously - most of us are not MMO newbs - and we do understand that "stuff happens" - but just tell us. We (well most of us :D) don't require the nitty gritty - but we do expect (and deserve) at least some information about what is going on in a game we paid for (and are obviously enjoying - from the level of teeth gnashing here ;P)

    Some of ya'll are just being downright rude...

    I was on when the servers went down this morning too, but seriously, it's early access and these guys have been working all night. I get that the lack of info is frustrating but I can see why they wouldn't want to give out info about the game breaking exploits they're fixing, and why they wouldn't want to give out an ETA they can't stick to.

    I'm not sure what you mean by "it's early access." It isn't beta anymore haha. It's no longer okay to dismiss everything as "it's beta, guys!" once money has changed hands. I get the necessity for the downtime. It's being stonewalled I'm having issues with.

    Looks like my horse goes hungry tonight, then. Time to admit defeat and go to bed.

    I do hope the team there will consider this a lesson learned on communication. I'm sure the devs did their all to fix the actual problem - I have no issue with their work on a server being taken down to resolve a game breaking problem. But communicating that such an investigation and fix was 'likely to take several hours' or something similar would have been better than vague 'we're working on it' updates.
