Fexno - thanks for tidying up the threads. However, the question of what was actually fixed in yesterday's maint remains unanswered. Is today's downtime an attempt to fix what was failed to be fixed yesterday, or is this for a completely different reason? Perhaps some input from BB_Ravel might be good here.
Ravel - please can we have some sort of communication to let us know what's going on. Ideally somewhere between the rather cryptic "a problem is being worked on" and what may read like this:
package {
import flash.display.*;
public class Missing extends Sprite {
public function Missing() {
Is this downtime going to attempt to sort the population issue? Or will it attempt to correct the combat lag/graphics problems? Or is it to sort out the mismatch between adventure classifications by icon and by description, so that people can do the christmas quests? Or is it to rectify a completely different problem that we havent yet been informed about?
Will the downtime be extended as yesterday's was? (no big deal, just would be good to know) Is it likely to fix whatever (what is it fixing?) it is supposed to fix, or is it planned/anticipated that there will be other steps to correct the problems?
Why don't you take your own advice and shurrup? Huh? When you paid money (as in real money) for a game which is not working and is down when it shouldn't be, am sure you will come here moaning as well. Give it another year for you. Last time i checked, BB is not refunding gems so why should I walk away when they have my money?
Just logged on again, have fun playing all :)
Game is back online. Thank you for your patience!
elsewhere? please tell me the web address of the panacea that is the perfectly maintained online multi-player building/resource/combat game with thousands of players, no lag, no in game purchases and no adverts - I want to sign up! (actually I want to buy it, I could monetize it and make a fortune - but hey ho :) )

very well put, not knowing what' going on and when is very frustrating. Yesterday evening the main guild discussion was what had actually been done in the morning maintenance, the 'winning' entry/best guess was 'introducing another shade of green'.
For the main Tuesday early hour maintenance to describe getting the population figures right a 'game improvement' is close to crass (or generously a translation idiosyncracy) its a basic game mechanic, not a game improvement... mind you at the moment perhaps getting the basics right would be an improvement :)

Yet another hot fix!
More down time?
thats fine - i wont post anything again, over and out
and it has to be said - another downtime today, but no reason given as to whats been fixed. Is it that hard to just tell us whats been meant
to have been fixed?
Heres how it should go:
Dear Settlers, we are trying to fo fix "this", we hope it works, but it may not....
Our reaction: Great!!! We also hope it works, and are most grateful you are trying to sort it, and above all, letting us know you are trying hard
Haha and seems this has been done for this arvo's downtime - WD BB I for one congratulate you on it :)

Game update reasons
Dear Settlers,
At this point I'd like to answer a question about today's downtime: The update was done as a preventive measure.
In some cases it was possible that playing adventures or colonies could result in a locked zone.
This was solved by today's (extra) update.
A big thank you to all the community members who shared details on our forums and via Customer Support e-mails.
This assisted us greatly in resolving the issue in a timely manner.
As you know, there won't be game updates//maintenance//guild quest resets until January (see schedule here) and the team wanted to make sure that you can enjoy the game during the Holiday season. Therefore a brief downtime was needed.
We completed the update an hour sooner than expected. Even though the downtime took less than 2 hours we have extended the Premium/adventure times by 6 hours.
Happy Settling!
BB_Ravel
