Another week starts with POL-1160

-_- lol summer is when more people play and the more problems i guess and lets more people not play but they do have to fix the stuff needed to be fixed :D
 
Since I started playing last year, I'd venture the game has had at least 90, possibly 95% uptime. That's pretty amazing considering the servers have almost no off-peak times.

But go ahead and send a sharply worded email to POL about how much you hate having to deal with maintenences and downtime and how important your $15 or so a month is. I'm sure they'll leave the servers up just for your IP so they don't lose a valued customer.
 
well i hate all the maintenance too, but iafter summer we can always know there wont be as much coming LOL
 
As unfair as the original post's expectatinos are, there's something about an 18-hour maintenance that screams, "15 hour Naked GM highlands ballista."
 
na Charcoip and Knightblade are hanging with the GM's smoking drugs.. like always >_> he always does it :wink:

Yeah, the one thing Square does do good is avoid downtime. Delivering a game patch every 2 months, with some minor zone resets/server maintainence in between.

Face it. The servers are old. They're over 2 years old, I don't think Square had in mind the amount of players each server would be holding today. Thats why things are so laggy. Thats why searches time out. This isn't to inconvenience you, but to make things better.
 
I just hate that Mondays are one of my 2 days off a week and maintenance is always on Mondays... 18 hours? Didn't we do this a couple weeks ago? Maintenance to fix an update, thats kinda lame.

I believe this update is to update SE's servers actually, not fix the update; thus the length.
On the plus side, there should be no download phase when it's finished.

Doesn't every other maintenance (including this one) include the words "Server machine updgrades"?

One thing they really need to look at is their patch delivery system. When you have 100,000 people at once trying to download a 30MB update from one server, yeah, you're gonna have some issues. But no worries, when you exceed your bandwidth and can't even satisfy 1/4 of those people, just blame DDoS attacks from anonymous third parties.
 
Holy crap, a reasonable necro :shock:
And I dunno, at school~

This made no sense. What's wrong with sharply worded?
