Makettle/Ice maiden. Only 27c here in W/A. perhaps that's why the Northern Hemisphere bods are so moody with us ;-)
Thankfully i was able to stop my Gold Mines as the buff was going to run out 45 minutes later.
I'm assuming that they are removing all the Xmas event, would have been nice to have some notice of that as well so i could have used some of the presents i've still got.
Only 26 in Auckland, but have just come back from a day on the beach. Shame the system is down, but I shall now go out for a beer and play later on. I can't understand why everyone is moaning so much, it's only a game. Get a life and use it to relax.
maintenance is never Wednesday, it's always Thursdays at 12:30 GMT
Thank you very much. But it seems to point to that the only reason we didn't get one was in fact because BB_Dantesama is on vacation. I really don't know how they've missed that...Quote:

anyway folks, this is a thread on the lack of maintenance notifications, not the weather report or shipping forecast channel :rolleyes:
So just much longer is this maintenance supposed to last? Anyone know?
you may want to check the details properly before posting :oQuote:

BB need to go on study visit to NCSoft/ArenaNet to see how to run a game (like Guildwars 1/2) without server downtime.
Well... reading all messages has been fun...Quote:

This remind me the hard-core playing in diablo2... Why you should not play hard-core? Because you can be a real master of the game but if your connection drops you will die... I like this game but devs should find something to counteract such things... as when I try to login to re-buff my production and find the server down for... only god knows how much time...
One way to solve this issue could be giving players a choice, after a server downtime... to let them resume a "saved state" and save, for example, a gold mine...
well if its going by dutch time and it finishes at 10.00am its only 6am over there enow so another four hours by the looks of it, please anyone correct me if I'm wrong.Quote:

From what we've heard from Dutch server it should end 09.00GMT today.
Well that will break our daily login bonuses.
What I was trying to say is it's only a game which should be played as an aid to relaxing, not a way of life. If the game stops working, why panic and moan. Do something else for a few hours until it's back again. Having been a programmer, I'm aware of how hard it is to get everything correct so there is never any unexpected outage. Same as your car, the electricity supply and phone/internet.Quote:

No wonder I can't log in! Any idea what time that they finish or am I screwed before going to work now????
Please read the thread! At the top of THIS VERY PAGE I say it's probarly the same as Dutch server, 09.00GMT!
I'm back in now so it must have finished.
So it was exactly the same as a regular one. Neat.
yay yay yay its back up woot woot
That's because, as usual, your lack of intelligence prohibits your ability to think it out before you speak/write....Quote:

On the one hand, you'd be correct in saying games are to be enjoyed, and not stressed over.Quote:

They can say this is a Beta game, but that is irrelevant. When you start taking money from players, and encouraging players to pay more money with promotions and advertising, it by definition, becomes a 'retail' product. If it's paid for, it's retail. And with retail comes fair expectations.
Players are rightly unhappy with the product they are PAYING for.
I'd be happy to play this game as an non-paying Beta, if they removed the advantage to everyone else who payed. It would very much change the whole economics of the game.

put an auto-sleep feauture to buildings if are left unbuffed. All complains will end.
stop with the beta arguments- it is old stale and not true
I'm still waiting for the Nephews 24 hour ban to be lifted and him to be compensated or for every other person in the forum who has done exactly the same as him to receive an equal 24 hour ban for doing exactly the same thing. Come on MODs prove everyone is the same whether their face fits or not, and regardless of whether they are in the same guild as you or not
That's actually a great idea. They'll probarly charge a gem every time it sleeps a building tho.Quote:

Hello guys,
I understand the frustration, we will make sure this won't happen again.
