Why are the worlds closed? All of them. Can't open the game. Is it just me?

Scheduled Tuesday down time for reboot.

This occurs every Tuesday (US Eastern Time Zone). Exceptions are when they have a scheduled release during the week then they try and do this at the same time.

As a note, this use to be Wednesday (US Eastern Time Zone) but they moved it to Tuesday.

No posting on the downtime notice anywhere. It has been so irregular lately, a dev post would have been nice.

At the very least a launcher message, so one didn't have to go hunting the forums. Many players don't even use the forums. Launcher message about server downtime is kinda... basic. no?

It is safe to assume the servers will be down at this time every week unless otherwise notified. We do try and give advance notice when possible when the downtime will be at an irregular date/time.

I think the issue is that there are enough exceptions that people either forget or never really learn the "general rule."

If I could offer a suggestion, this would be good to add to the Launcher messages as part of the down time. While I realize this would put the onus on the players to read it, it might help reduce the number of posts asking "What's up?"

Tuesday is also a good time for you all to clear your own cache. Defrag, and do whatever.

Is that a euphemism? That sounds like a euphemism.

I don't think you can issue a warning about unexpected server crash. Might be wrong tho...

I think this thread got confusing because it started about world restarts yesterday, but then someone commented on it after Argo crashed unexpectedly this morning.
