[fatherpirate]

[NemesisAlien]

So early shut down? 3hrs earlier then normal.

What time you all start work? :confused:

That was midday for me!

Is there a description of the work being done or is it something which won't impact game play?

[Justicesfury]

That is a long downtime. With no news on what they are working on, it usually means its to fix and exploit. Could also be to work on Lag again though too. Lag was awful this weekend on Hardcore.

It can also mean server/os patch day.

Haven't been on Hardcore since I blowed myself up in Siegebreaker but it was pretty **** over the weekend, Sharn docks with the new champs is bad enough without the lag reapers.

Crystal Cove. I believe it is opening on Thursday 5/27/2021

Unfortunately, our office experienced a power outage this morning and that has impacted our ability to get this maintenance work complete by Noon. We're extending the downtime until 2:00 PM Eastern (-4 GMT).

Did you pay the electric bill?

If it isn't one thing, it's another.

I had a similar thing because of a thunderstorm yesterday. Must've happened when i was at work. Noticed it by seeing my alarm clock blinking the digital numbers.

I checked online, no reports for power outage at their area or address.

Someone tripped over the extension cord leading out to the shed where the servers are.

[darkniteyogi]

Oh boy, someone forgot to feed the hamsters...

[Evean]

The irony of starting earlier, but taking longer, is pretty great. Hopefully this doesn’t discourage their desire to conduct weekly restarts earlier than usual, which I think is laudable.

Preemptively: Yes, I know there was a power outage (https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthread.php/524512-UPDATED-Downtime-Notice-Wednesday-May-26th-7-00-AM-2-00-PM-Eastern-(-4-GMT)?p=6434233&highlight=#post6434233).

Lol what are u saying here ?......that cordo (ssg) isnt being truthful?

[Pomdude]

So power outage is a lot like lag ? You guys are getting lag - oh dear I would complain to the suppliers of your power company that is simply not on. Feel for you guys.

Did you guys angered the koblod union again?

[LightBear]

If it isn't one thing, it's another.
No more flushing the toilets then, no TP either.

And don't ask why everything is sticky.

Not all, I just didn't see anything online. Made me curious if there was a major outage in the area. If there was it would mean more downtime.

[Kof-Ra]

Hope everyone is having a fantastic day. See you Khyberians soon.

Something tells me Cordo needs a working toilet nearby and toilet paper. That is a plumbing issue thankfully and not an electric one

Thanks Viral, Still Grinding on HC though.

Nobody messes with the Union.

[Kof-Ra]

Just dont forget to run a quest or two on your home servers during HC awesomeness. Keeping all the new folks interested in DDO that are having hard time getting parties going and not ready to try HC yet is just as important as a mount w a cosmetic! Not just slow on khyber but feels like it dies a little bit each HC. Maybe im wrong. Either way... Nerd on!

[NemesisAlien]

Apparently somebody did :p

[Cordovan]

We need a bit more time, maybe 20 minutes.

Khyber hasn't been too slow for grouping, but have noticed a few less people on my friend's list at any given time lately. Maybe with the 20% bonus XP weekend, we'll see a few people swap back over for a couple days to take advantage of the boost.

[Graceunderpressure]

Flip the Switch!!! :)

[Malusny]

Hopefully all will be online soon. We planned our activities around to be able to play together and I hope this won't be a wasted time for me and my friends. Cheers.

[qren]

[PurpleSerpent]

It's up! Cannith, at least.

[Cordovan]

The game worlds have reopened.

[DoctorOfLiterature]

Wonder if something happened with Boss difficulty on update? Played Slave Lords 3 and the end boss is always tough but there were like a dozen minions instead of the normal two and our magical damage appeared to hit but it seemed like the damage didn't actually get recorded or was drastically reduced by a factor of maybe 100.
