The game worlds will be brought down from 7:00 AM - 10:00 AM Eastern (-5 GMT) on Wednesday, March 30th for account management system maintenance. This work will correct an issue some players are experiencing with account creation.

The 10th or 30th? Did Turbine invent time traveling?

Sounds good, hope things move along well towards optimization. It would be cool if we could get an extra day or two on the anniversary event, trying to get the party favor I'm aiming for and 7 - 10 am EST is prime playing time where I'm at.

So you AGAIN have little notice ... and AGAIN you are down ... great ... cannot wait to get up tomorrow to see "server closing in 60 minutes for maintenance" .... get you act together ... this is pathetic administration of a game that people pay for ... your not some free service ... absolutely pathetic work

I think someone needs a hug.

Get lost

[Ryan220]

Get lost

Come on, no point being all macho about it.

A good hug will sort things out.

The game is going to be down for an entire three hours, and if anything like yesterday more like two. Go for a walk outside, read a book, play a different game... the downtime is not going to kill you.

Not a good trick to play early in the morning.

I boot up my machine.
Go down piddle around and get a cup of coffee.
Come upstairs to the machine, launch game.
Read launcher.
Brain processing,
Wait, was yesterday Wednesday?
10 seconds later, after much crunching, no it was Tuesday.

No fair, the launcher basically says the same thing, although the hours were changed to protect the innocent.

I have had my first cup of java, now to go downstairs and get the second one and curse the Red Baron for denying me that one more hour of drinking coffee, checking the brokers, checking the AH, and doing account maintenance and just attempting to get all my neural connections into alignment.

Oh my the devs are trying to shut us up by fixing problems run for the hills.

On an almost related issue where do we report problems I know it was posted in the middle of yesterdays downtime thread but I have not gone back through.

But major lag Epic Wheloon, on Kyber, around 9:30 pm, 4 players 2 dodo, shadowfell side, behind oldstone hall on the way to the trill of the hunt, game went nuts when the two beholders showed up it took them for ever to kill me it was a slow and painfully drawn out death. Oh yea warning level was IV(red) I had a huge train following me when those beholders started to light things up.

Um...I would say 12+ hours' notice is more than enough. The announcement was in the launcher yesterday afternoon. If you missed it, that's your problem, not Turbine's. Stop railing on them because you failed to pay attention.

Wheloon has always been bad with anything higher than a yellow alert. It has nothing to do with the new lag issues.

[walkin_dude]

ROFL ... yep ... fanboy city ... thanks for proving me right ... when they are down again tomorrow ... you be sure to tell turbine what a great job they are doing and how happy you are with them

Even if I do not agree with Sexysysab's tone, I do agree with his sentiment. I get that downtime happens. I get that there's no one time that will make everyone happy. But a reasonable, responsible company provides a MINIMUM of 24 hours notice about downtime. Turbine has a LONG history of failing to provide a reasonable amount of notice about upcoming SCHEDULED downtime. I do not blame people who are upset when there is little notice given.

i somewhat do agree that a little more advance warning would be nice. But my opinion is .. if an error can be fixed, the sooner the better. Yes it is also a time where i play mostly, but i can wait a few hours.

We did just change data center with new(er) servers, did the servers get upgraded from 32 to 64bit?, I expected more down time then we have had while the tweek the settings our game is just about stoneage old code wise they will get the wheel chair it's in running better.

I am more concerned about getting this lag problem taken care of than only getting a 12 hour downtime notice.
