    I am so afraid of this, all early access I saw shutdowns, it made no difference to me since I couldn't play anyway, but my friend couldn't either so... that was crappy...

    Now "preparing" for launch day means cutting early access by 1 whole day? Wow...

    Even after 10 years WoW servers shut down for several hours most Tuesdays.

    Hopefully when things become stable, ZOS will implement a regular schedule for server maintenance.

    Obviously they are going to need to shut down the servers on occasion, especially mores since the game is new. It's pretty ridiculous to ask that they never do a shutdown.

    Of course, asking for shutdowns to be made at reasonable times is different.

    The secret of a server with an infinite amount of energy that never shuts down... somehow hooking it up to my kids. They never shut down!

    NA Mega-server
    Basilthwaite - male Nord Templar Ebonheart Pact (unwittingly looks like Hulk Hogan. Trying to find some bright gold breeches to match the persona.)

    Arwen Basilrond - female Wood Elf Nightblade Aldmeri Dominion (this character is smoken', but she's been advised to quite due to 'elf reasons!)

    Sir Basil Ozarian - male Imperial Dragonknight Daggerfall Covenant (this character is titled, but not entitled!)

    Guild Wars 2 almost never shuts down. A new version becomes available, you are given ample warning, you log off, download it, log on.

    Yeah, they kind of mastered that, even when something happens you still can play without logging off for several hours, except for you are unable to communicate or see people who already have newer version of the game. Something to aspire to, if not super-server-structure. :D
    Failing is a lifestyle too.

    They did, it's called a cluster - we use them all the time in our business to do maintenance that causes zero 'effective' downtime to users.

    Clearly ZOS is NOT ArenaNet and I suspect any hope of them changing would be delusional. I'd almost suspect this is their payback for the *** that was yesterday...

    1 whole day, or in technical terms, 3-4 hours.

    OH THE HUMANITY :'(

    You're better off trying to invent a better idiot.

    Servers gotta server. Or do they sever? All computers have to turn off sometimes, even if they're not running on Windows (at least I think that's true).
    If at first you don't succeed, keep trying. And again. Eat a cookie, read a wiki, I dunno, just try to relax, the frustration will only give you a headache.

    Just go to Lock 17 in Camden (London, UK). They once gave me a small mountain of chocolate ice cream, it was hilarious and I couldn't finish it. It was a small incompetence in the face of having misplaced their scoop, perhaps, but good value for money :D
