I am getting this error.. why I just started playing?? do you expect people to pay for a product that doesn't work?

[Qualan]

the servers are on weekly maintenance so no one can connect :P

[GLaDOS]

Seriously?? I just started playing.. and it's going to be 11PM when it comes back online, and I have better things to do than staying up for a game. Thanks Ubisoft for wasting an hour of my time.

[Qualan]

if you bothered to read the homepage you would have not wasted that time, it was announced there and also updated as status of maintenance goes on

bit harsh to blame ubisoft for your mistake really

anyway maintenance is every week on Thursday - same time so now u know and dont need to waste time

[GLaDOS]

Every Thursday - that means I cannot play the game 1/7 of the time.

Bye, I am no longer playing.

[BB_Azariel]

Hahaha Glados, you obviously have little experience in Online gaming :)

All online games need a maintenance on a regular basis to empty out the memory. Also, it's not 1/7th... more like 1/50th if you do the maths (yes, the maintenance only lasts a few hours).

Good luck elsewhere then!

Obviously you have not been playing the games that have handled that way better. There is no need for downtime, especially with the limited number of players currently playing, if they have the memory setup properly. They could for instance chose to empty the memory all the time. It slows the site down just a litle and no inconvinient downtimes.

Dear Settlers,

Please find below the major news of this week!

A. Maintenance Thursday

As you may already know, this Thursday maintenance will be very unusual.

In order to reduce the lag and make it easier for players to access/log into the game, BlueByte will be physicaly upgrading some of the hardware on the servers.
BlueByte wants to start having maintenances very early in the morning so that most players will no longer be affected by them.

So with this in mind, the maintenance has been scheduled to start at 04:00h GMT and should finish around 14:00h GMT. The hardware change and update will make this one much longer.

During this time the website and forum might not be available at all

We don't have any official info yet on the future times of the maintenance, but it should be around 04:00 to 08:00h GMT on Thursdays.

it is on the MAIN page when you log on

The normal downtime for the server is 8am-12 noon GMT no idea where you get your 10 hours EVERY week...
