Does anyone know when we can log back in to see changes as mine still says is ongoing ?
Like usual, just have to wait AgyM.........if it says its ongoing, its ongoing!
I'm already used to creating threads just to keep track of frustrated players clicking the "Play now" button without success. Ravel, any news regarding this extended maintenance?
They are bad to keep the time the setup. :(
mclueppers u can soon change u signature again :)
I just started last night. How long does the maintenance normally take. (please don't just say it went super late last week I mean in general)
lol, indeed I'm going to but I'm afraid soon the signature length limit will kick in so prolly I'll create a separate thread and just link it to my signature.Quote:

Well, no panic yet, they probably just need more time due to all the old bugs they've ignored fixxing for about 3,5 years.
In general they finish before the announced time but lately lazy scripts don't run as fast as expected.Quote:

We will post more updates as soon as possible.
i hope game server will be up soon. Good luck
Yeah, we kind of have noticed :P No panic yet though, I just go play the old classic Syndicate Wars (1993) for an hour or so ;)
It's the bunnies from the Easter I bet. They cursed BB...
seems to me lately maintenance is too often and takes too long. what's going on i wonder.
KelTor yh it must have been their fault :)
Sorry BB that is not an update its stating the obvious, an estimated time of resumption of the game would be more of a help.
Revenge of the wabbits. :3
I wonder has this slap dash team realised that punctuality is actually rather important and frequent unreliability is a very undesirable attribute.
Please do what you say and say what you mean.
Special mines will all be crashed again.
my 100 gems 4 7days in a row
Seriously...
now over run by 1 1/4 hours still ongoing
lets hope they not overdue as long as the 14
hope this time we'll get a premium coin. last week premium was extended, but it was no use (was almost evening, so didn't have the time to play all advs I wanted) literally you wasted my prem coin and seems like it's going to repeat :(
you should probably know better and stop them before the maintenance ?Quote:

Some of these are unknown activities in this household.
Keep it up, if it goes like last week the whole house will have had a clear up/wash down, but I will still be very unhappy.
lol yeah rl is calliing
UPDATE 9.20 AM: We have an ETA: The servers should be up and running at approx. 11.00 AM BST. Thank you for the patience!
Thanks.....should fit in all the laundry, a run to the shops and my exercise routine by then!
...
To be fair regular (no big changes) maintenance has been a strong point in BBs otherwise poor performance. As a rule it has ended early. So early ive never been able to catch it still ongoing after waking up. :D Sad if that is also gone. I had gotten really good at predicting BBs failures but didnt see this one coming.Quote:

There's a change log for this maintenance, so it's not a regular one.Quote:

Why does maintenance still come as a surprise to some? It's always on Tuesday. Yes they had a shocker last week. Cut the team some slack. My background is in IT. When servers don't work to plan, it is very stressful for the team, just like when your computer at home doesn't work the way it's meant to.
And don't run your special mines over maintenance if they aren't fully topped up and buffed properly. My arctics had 20k and a 24 hour buff on before maintenance. No problems.
They need to change the line "End at approx 08:00 am BST" to "We really have no idea". Why even post an approximate time? Once again, my buffs are all off schedule, mines depleted that should have been refilled, buildings running that I would have shut off. 3 hours overdue is not within any definition of "approximate" that I have heard before. I'm in the habit now of making sure anything precious like my Arctic Mine is off before maintenance because I can't trust the time frame like I used to be able to.
*groan*
btw - if you post time with all digits (e.g. 08:00) it implies a 24 hour clock so the am is redundant - but that might be just me
Yes I probably should, heavy day at work yesterday and forgot about maintenance,
My background is in IT also... and I maintain a QA environment. I post a realistic time frame (over-estimating if necessary) so expectations are not raised. But those decisions are made before posting the time for the outage. If I have any reason to be unsure of the time involved then I add a buffer so the users know it might take longer than usual. But I am able to test my upgrades before deploying, which it appears in this case is not possible (and I wonder why). I am well aware of the stress and the surprises that can occur, but I wouldn't post a 'generic' outage time every week when I know the scripts are running with deeper changes.Quote:

And btw I have my buildings and buffs set appropriately assuming I can trust the posted outage. If you can't trust that, how much buffer do you give yourself - enough for days - weeks - months? In a game like this you need to be able to trust time because so many things are closely tied to it.
Woke up, made coffee, logged in, immediately thought, "Here we go again!".
I have Red Flying Settlers running out about now, but it could be worse.
I might not have had forethought to skip my Arctic Mine.
I have rainbows running out this afternoon, but it could be worse.
I might not have had the forethought to skip my gold chain (including SGM).
Although, I really shouldn't be having to consider how long maintenance might over run when working out my buff schedule. I am almost wishing for the 'good old days', when all we really had to worry about was whether maintenance was gonna start earlier than advertised.
Hmm how many here actually believe that it will be done at " 11:00"
It certainly looks like the bad old days are back and it will have to be a case of bite the bullet or spend 30 or so minutes making sure all is turned off in future.
9 minutes from now supposably
