Ya, that's a quote on the maintenance page. Today's maintenance started at 2am my time, it is now 9:24am my time and they are still down. That is over 7 hours for a routine maintenance??? I thought Eq2 was bad but for the most part the only time servers went down that long was when they were installing an expansion pack.. This is insane... Are the maintenance guys just sitting there playing solitaire or what?? I don't gotta start work until 2pm so I was looking forward to finally getting my character to level 10. I guess that's my day ruined...

    if you have a look through some of the threads, it says they ran into some problems - that and some 'backend issues', which has extended the session....

    Keyword being "most".
    Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

    Meet my characters:
    Command: Do the thing.

    Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
    Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
    Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
    Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
    Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
    Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
    Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
    Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
    Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
    Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.

    Bet you wouldn't be saying that if they dumped an eight hour maintenance right at the start of YOUR primetime.

    I think the important part when you read this quote, is to not skip the first word.

    "Most regularly scheduled maintenance periods will last for no more than a few hours. "

    Most. Not all. Sometimes, it takes much longer time... obviously.

    The servers are up 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. A few more hours of down time to (hopefully) fix some of the lag is well worth it. It's been a while since the maitenance has happened.

    back end issues, the server hampsters have got diarrhea again and crapped all over the servers, this is what happens when you dont look after your hampsters and feed them a diet of left over stale pizza and donuts.

    They always do crap like this. Blizzard does it too.

    "Servers will be down for scheduled maintenance on Tuesday from 5am-11am"

    *11am rolls around*

    "Maintenance will be extended until 12pm"

    *12pm rolls around...*

    "Maintenance will be extended until 2pm"

    ......you get the picture.

    This is my prime-time... I start work at 2pm, I'll only be up for an hour or so once I get home so this is it for me.

    To be fair, they run into problems every maintenance and say this each time.

    Short answer is DKs likely won't be seeing a ton of changes before we go live; this class is still quite powerful (as it should be being a tank), even after some of the adjustments we've made to other classes and abilities.

    DK IS NOT JUST A TANK CLASS. #PLAYTHEWAYYOUWANT

    This is my fourth day or so on the game so this is a bad first impression.

    Edit: correction, would have been my forth day(on the game)...
