Downtime Notice: Monday, May 18th from 3:00 AM to 12:PM Eastern (-4 GMT)

And I just wasted 1 1/2 hrs reinstalling the game because I thought it had something to do with Steam breaking it - for some reason Steam said the files versions were out of sync when doing an integrity test and proceeded to redownload everything. I now realize they were probably out of sync because they don't update their Steam build with the latest release build buuuut anyway...

+1 Bacon.... the best motivator in the world!

even better......the infamous +5 Bacon of Silence! while being eaten it silences all those of good alignment and whiny temperaments are turned into an Orc which then generates 20% more hate from the Current Party. others jsut are shut up while enjoying the yummy bacon

i mean seriously, no understanding of limitations, assuming that turbine actually has the budget set aside strictly for information technology department personel, and that the world revolves around them NEWSFLASH IT DON'T MATTER HOW FAT YA ARE YOU AINT BIGGER THAN THE MOON LET ALONE THE EARTH and finally it could be something like say a complete system upgrade in which the hardware is mostly if not completely replaced

[Surnales]

That is not the point. The system is inherently flawed. For example its why you use a star hub configuration in networking so that if a client or single RAID Array goes down the whole network does not cease functioning. Redundancy 101 keeps systems functioning even during hardware maint. This is bad IT at the consumers expense!

point taken

Not just a Matthew McConaughey movie!!!! lol, I love this game still. After ten years of playing it is still fun for me..... Downtime is expected peoples, so please don't give these people a hard time. You can log in at a minimum 100 hours a week. Most of the time more. Chill....

[coolshade]

this cant be true, i just got my computer back from repair shop think it was my internet went out,
and blown 300.00's for nothing because it was DDO DEV teams not posting updates on this maintenance
repair,when it was going to be up and running what a joke.DDO need too fired all of them and start with a
crew that can do the job right and inform people on what's going on

I can build a server in 30 minutes. I can dupe a database in 10 minutes. You can ghost an entire network in an hour or two. What are you talking about???? This is a code issue!!!!

They might even have been droped off in some remote part of the world and need to BUILD THE SERVERS FROM SCRATCH WITH COCONUT SHELLS AND LEAVES

i'd pay to see that....

[RedSkiesAtNight]

I have not been able to log in since the patch this morning. I performed a complete reinstall after other tests failed. Not sure why the Downtime notice has not been updated, but if others are looking for information, it appears this patch had issues causing the maintenance window to be extended significantly. If anyone can log in, please update thread. Thanks and good luck. This always seems to happen when I take a day off, lol.

Have you guys lost it? Extended downtime is never acceptable in the IT world! This is absolutely atrocious network engineering! A troop of trained monkeys could have done the systems analysis for this network! The First Commandment of Networking: Though Shalt Have Redundancy and 99.9% up time!

[tobor77]

Things to do :
Shine armor - done
hone nicks out of dagger - done
patch cloak - done
groom mummified bat - done
sew mummified bat back together ( never should have touched it ) - done
Oil boots - done
SIGH! I'm ready guys. Please release the inmates to the dungeon. Please ?
