Speaking of Windows ... not to derail this thread BUT Microsoft has decided DX12 will only be compatible with Windows 8 ....

Guess the new PC is getting windows 8

On a side note ..... that's pretty lame

This is not true. Somebody at AMD spoke without knowledge.

Actually Turbine doesn't do this enough, they need to tell us it will take all day so we'll be thrilled when its just 4 hrs. Usually happens the other way around they say it'll be 4 hrs and then it goes over time a couple hours.

This. They need to start giving themselves a buffer zone of an hour or two instead of constantly extending their downtimes...

Makes sense .... as that's where I saw it

WEll, I should say with a caveat, it MAYBE true, may not be. Microsoft hasn't commented on backwards compatibility AFAIK beyond "It will work on a lot of current video cards"

Yes this is an update and an update on your pc may only take a matter of minutes or even seconds depending on your computer. However, speaking as someone that has updated servers many times, updating a server us much more complex than your pc. That complexity increases the more user accounts, and the more changes are involved in the patch. After reading what Microsloth put on their site, which I can promise is heavily sterilized both to prevent panic and in hopes that every moron with a laptop and an ax to grind won't go attacking servers using this method using Microsoft's own site as a "how to" of sorts.

Just relax and know that while it sucks to be out of game it is much better that they take their time and get it right, than to rush it and be back here again.

World Status has changed from DOWN to CLOSED.
