Yes the time is extended but thats not an answer as to why lol

[hannybal]

ohh, thanks for the notice.

Well, test has gone down as well for maintenance, so perhaps it's relating to Easter collection scenario's not crediting or party crashers re-spawning? I know it's well in advance but cant blame them for wanting to pre-patch as much as possible in advance.

Can't blame them ? I can easily.

The maintenance is due to finish at 15:00 GMT. We understand that the extension is frustrating, and I'm forwarding all your feedback.

Thank you for your patience!

Nah it's all good. Getting thigns doen I coudn't be bothered with otherwise. You keep it down as long as you need to.

i am guessing the extended maintenance is down to the scripts having to check every single accounts mail starmenu and anywhere else extra event resources maybe hiding, maint always seems to run 4-8hrs longer after each event resources collections, plus you also have the new feature for adventure stacking which when if like my starmenu has probably close to 1000 adventures it has to count and stack

maybe they should not have started the event resources collection process and let them carry over to next year like they used to before :)

Maybe these updates should go back to being scheduled for 2am in the morning like in the past, this 2nd extension is eating into the rest of the day too!

Classic Change Management failure, genuine desire to do as much as possible in the change window leading to an extended and unexpected service failure.

rather have it done right 1st time than have them take it back down again later in the week...

well, long time maintenance sound not really cool, you can feel something went wrong and could have side effect to make another maintenance later.

It is something like:
1. If maintenance was smooth, scripts ran correctly, no problems for later.
2. maintenance is hard and extended, the more problems expected and there is a need for another maintenance to fix issues.

Such long maintenance times makes people angry that their islands are unbuffed, mines depleted, quests might not get completed in time, their limited play times reduced. And sometimes the compensation of an exotic fruit basket doesn't cover the costs, just making people more annoyed.

im just thinking is it a global maintenance that could be why its taking so long if all servers are down getting same thing at same time?
or is it just us having it and other servers having it on different day like the old times?

either way i would prefer they took as long as they needed to do it right than have to keep taking game down to keep doing it again and again like we have had in the past.

[Amazony]

And I prefer to have a long downtime properly announced , not every 2 h just announce another extension time of the downtime.

[lulu10093]

tbh i think they underestimated how long they needed so they keep adding 2 hours on hoping it gives them enough time to get it done or have to keep extending it again making it 2 hours longer to hope they have enough time t o sort out what they need to if they can in that time.

I know these things have to be done but I don't think it is fair that I should lose my daily bonus for logging in which in turn makes me miss out on gems due to maintenance which is out of my control. I wait until midnight my time but I had to go to bed :(
