Lol, only just noticed it says 10 a.m. and not the usual 6 a.m......might have been advertised a bit better, don't think many people will have noticed the extra time!

[Orca45]

Yes why is this Maintenace that long ????

[Diego004]

maybe, there were some problems last week with maintenance, NF started around 9 a.m.

Yes why is this Maintenace that long ????

Maybe because of this:

from info I catched on Polish server after today's maintaince in there gamers can expect: in marchant/shop: Nords 2, new category for Premium accounts, 2 new buffs, limited offer section will be taken off, chance for giving gems as a gift, new limit for gempits - u can have 10 of them; other changes - premium account, 3 new mini advs, plus some bugs corrections.

And the maintenance on the german servers went wrong on Tuesday. They had a normal timeframe given before the maintenance started and it ended up taking a few hours longer. So they probably expect to run into the same problems today and gave us a longer timeframe to be sure.

But as you first observed Shelob - this could have been better advertised.... I'd have liked to warn the guild etc...

I have to go to work too [MrBranch]....

I'm expecting someone to pick me up on the better advertised comment - because it was in the maintenance announcement on the home page...
The correlation to this is that if BB feel that this exceptional maintenance was well advertised, perhaps they could tuck the next gem sale advertisement into some standard text on the right and not bother with the in game messaging I've recieved (and responded to) in the past.

We've never been given a proper explanation of why maintenance is 'needed' each week, unlike so many other online games which are monthly or during play.
Extended maintenance should have nothing to do with the updates or changes, more likely changing of equipment and testing.
Why is it so hard to add a reason?

[MrBranch]

Explanation: the magic word is "compiler". See what you can find in the internet.

This maintenance is bad though. I have to go to work now, so the quest I wanted to finish this morning is not going to be finished at all.
Expensive maintenance for me.
