Turbine Scheduled Maintenance Monday Oct. 7, 5AM – 12PM Eastern (-4 GMT)

[AzB]

I'm in the US, I'm VIP, and I work evenings so I'm affected by the downtime. But I'm not going to end my subscription because they need to do some maintenance. Yeah, I had forgotten about the downtime this morning so was disappointed when I couldn't log in but hey, I know how to read so pulled out a book and enjoyed myself anyways. Oh, and if anyone's checking in here apparently they're back up early so have fun!

This. Reading a book is a great suggestion. Getting off your fat backside and going outside for a couple hours wouldn't hurt anyone either. (Unless you live in Australia and run into one of their deadly spider/snake/croc/wimmens and die)

It's fascinating that very few people seem to understand that no matter when they schedule maintenance it's going to upset someone. But I suppose if you're the center of your own universe, that's all that really matters.

IT paid Well. hah. Good one.

Yikes, thats why I'm outta IT!

WHOA! Worlds are up! What a nice surprise...

OK .. So som ppl have said that the worlds are up .. but when I log in they are all closed. Anybody got any ideas?

They need to start doing this in night shifts.Seven hours?Fine,do it from 0:00 to 7:00.Nothing unheard of.Taking a **** on European play time is unacceptable.

The maintenance was done at 11 am. That's anywhere between 4 and 6 pm European time -- well before prime playing hours. And still, people whine.

I love this attitude that Turbine should screw up an entire work week for its whole company by making them come in to work in the middle of the night, all because of a handful of primadonnas who can't find something else to do for a few hours.

I logged on early this morning to play before work. Servers down. Looked at youtube videos and got caught up on my email. Wasn't really a big deal.


I honestly think getting upset, I mean actually experiencing anger that lasts longer than 30 seconds because I can't log into a game is a sign of addiction and a clear signal that I need to get out of the house and do something else.

It could have been a Potion of Wonder, that's one of the possible effects.

They need to do an update that makes DDO compatible with windows 8. I'm sure there are lots of people running it. I still can't get it to work on mine. Have tried every suggestion I've found.

I hadn't heard of any problems running DDO under Windows 8. What did they have to say in the support forum?

Reading and understanding are two different things. No one said anything about ending subscriptions, btw I am a published author, I know how to read. Those in my time zone aren't complaining about the need for maintenance, we are complaining about the need for it to be done at the same time every time effecting the same people.

I need some help if anybody can. I've been trying to get in to the game all day. I have the client downloaded. After I log in, I have to pick a server. It lists 7 servers and they all say closed. They have been like this all day. If I cant find some way to play this game I'm gonna just say forget it. Somebody please help.

[BOgre]

How is it possible that all this time has gone by an there are no replys to this thread???

Ok, so what's the downtime about, where are the release notes, will X, Y, or Z be fixed, why are you doing this downtime right when insert country is having a Bank Holiday, something about VIP and the money we've invested, something about getting reimbursed, something about an extended loot weekend, etc.

Okay, I did forget to mention the part about panic cuz the servers weren't up exactly on time, but besides that, looks like the thread was covered in post #2. Guess I've officially been here long enough to not be "new" anymore.

Could you also fix the exploit that some fanbois are able to take the blast charges outta undermine. One wiped our whole citw raid while buffing.

Is that the same exploit that allows fanbois to take the shavarath blades out of shroud too!?! ;D
