Downtime Notice: Thursday, November 30th from 6:00 AM to 3:00 PM Eastern (-5 GMT)

[Cordovan]

The DDO Game Servers, web sites, and http://myaccount.standingstonegames.com will be offline for maintenance on Thursday, November 30th from 6:00 AM to 3:00 PM Eastern (-5 GMT). Thanks for your patience, and we'll see you back in the game soon!

This extended maintenance is necessary to do significant back-end server work. Sorry!

Keep up the good work SSG.

I liked it better when just the one quest was offline...

Will the bonuses that were supposed to be on until 11/30 still be when the servers come back up?

[vryxnr]

Maybe it's just me, but it feels like someone started the maintenance about 12 hours earlier than advertised. All game worlds are down, and the forums are very sluggish atm (but other websites I visit are fine and other games run fine). Strange that only DDO and DDO related things would suddenly not work but everything else I do is fine if it was something on my end.

edit: and now the worlds are up for me again. *enters the game and hopes it lasts the evening*

edit 2: well darn, looks like no DDO for me tonight (was really hoping to take advantage of the guild renown bonus during the last 2 days it's on). Got kicked out of the game, and now the launcher isn't even loading properly. Guess I could try re-installing the whole game, but by the time that finishes it'll be tomorrow already. XD

edit 3: and once US prime time past and it became late evening/night, everything started to work perfectly again. *grumbles something confused and unintelligible*

Wait are you saying that the +50% Guild Renown was turned off?

I was just about to log-in trying to get those last Sagas done that I would have if the Game was up before.

The post stated… Now through November 30th.

To me that should mean I have till 12am eastern!
OR
Am I mistaken?

With SSG I usually think ClusterF.... environments...

No, you're not mistaken. Generally speaking, they get turned off the morning AFTER the day listed (so the morning of the 1st, in this case) when they come in and get around to it. However, they also often forget to turn things back ON after restarts like this. Not *usually* a problem, because it generally goes Thur-Sun and restarts are mid-week, but it's been an issue when they've had to restart a world on the weekend, etc.

Oh well, I'm suddenly 50% less peeved about closing Lines of Supply than I was...

Sigh… that upsets me.

And SSG was reminded of this because the post right above…
“The game worlds and web sites are once again available. Thank you!”
By Cordovan.
Was my post asking for more time with the 50% Guild Renown because of the downtime.
They could have at least turned this back on till tomorrow as this was first reported to us.

I… like others planned to use this buff for my Guild and now feel cheated.

My Guild Renown Pot I was saving for these turn-ins is now going to waste, so to speak.
Along with the hours spent trying to finish up these Sagas before tomorrow.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr : (

I got my friend to start playing DDO but he cannot create an account, the website link still says it is down for maintenance.
