Where did the server status forum go?

Sarah_Lynn · June 2014

Is there any other way to tell when the servers are back up except sitting there, and re-opening the game every so often? Is the server status forum even gone? Or am I suddenly just too blind to find it?

They deleted it about 3 weeks ago for whatever reason and just left the game without any server status method.

The removed the subforum and added current uptime and downtown to the Server Alarms, which can be found through Support on the top menu.

This is silly....that was about the only thing in the old version of the forums that made sense! At least then they gave us eta's and things, now it's completely buried.

Greetings @Sarah_Lynn‌ ,

The Server Status section was removed, we'll be announcing server downtime with the forum-wide messaging system going forward. You can also check out the service alerts section on our support site.

THIS

The alerts section is BINARY. When we had the "status" section there was opportunity to provide actual updates of ETA and delays.

Elimination of a communication tool seems to be poor judgement.
