Makettle/Ice maiden. Only 27c here in W/A. perhaps that's why the Northern Hemisphere bods are so moody with us ;-)

[BAAAHHHHHJJJAAA]

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.

[BAAAHHHHHJJJAAA]

maintenance is never Wednesday, it's always Thursdays at 12:30 GMT

02.01.2013Onderhoud: vanaf 01:30 tot 10:00 uur
Beste Settlers,
Vannacht zal er onderhoud worden gepleegd aan de servers. Dit houdt in dat het spel niet bereikbaar zal zijn. Tijdens het onderhoud wordt de eerste verwijderfase van het kerstevenement geïmplementeerd.
Start: Donderdag nacht tegen 01:30 uur
Einde: Donderdag ochtend tegen 08:00 uur
Verandering log
Houd er rekening mee dat het onderhoud soms enkele minuten kan uitlopen.

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...

So because it doesn't ruin your plans you can't understand that it ruins other's? Good going.

nibber , not all of us live in lovely climate countries with beaches to relax on
anyway folks, this is a thread on the lack of maintenance notifications, not the weather report or shipping forecast channel

[Willie0986]

So just much longer is this maintenance supposed to last? Anyone know?

[DUNJAI]

maintenance is never Wednesday, it's always Thursdays at 12:30 GMT

you may want to check the details properly before posting
please do not be offended, just pointing out that everybody knows maintenance is normally scheduled for 0030hrs-0530hrs GMT Wednesdays (when it gets announced that is)

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...
In short... the game is in beta, they sell gems to players, players ask for a better service... Beside that you cannot play and they didn't told you anything... the really annoying thing is that lot of people was not able to buff certain critical productions... like a gold mine... 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...
