Lulz - pretty much every game has scheduled maintenance

[LordGalaban]

at least they could have told us they were ****ing down our backs this morning. ya know some of us only have certain times we can play. not even a courtesy post on twitter saying btw, downtime just fecking nothing.

[mmchoc]

why is the game down again? there has not been any announcement as to why or how long it will be down. And before anyone starts screaming that its regular wednesday downtime cos cordovan said so some time in the past, well that cannot be used as an excuse cos sometimes its down on wednesday (or tuesday, or thursday, or any other time they feel like) and sometimes its not. Its rude and lazy not to tell customers what is happening.

I think scheduled maintenance isn't really the issue here. The issue for me is more that there is nothing written in the launcher and usually the restarts take only about an hour, let's see.

Game worlds are temporarily available?
Was there any notification about the patch on tw@ter or farcebook?

[Looting_Bin]

I couldn't take it anymore,

Cancelled DDO and started up a ESO subscription.

Give me a call if you get your act together enough so I can actually play the game.

Wow, you really want them to do better by removing the funds necessary to achieve the ORDER you are giving them...

Dropping on June 22 is DnD Dark Alliance.

All I know yes game crashes lost contact with server like every day about 20 minutes into the game. Extremely disappointed two or three raids had to ignore raid loot cause it crashed on me at very end. Contacted steam support wanted me to copy files I am afraid of them are currently social standard vision whatever trackers are or malicious site what is it a fetish trend something god himself wouldn't even subscribe to. paranoid of malware sharing files personal data breach, I get some games from Japan better on DL site for adults. Went to PC repair guy I don't trust maybe its that wanted to say files are erased removing a hard drive yet I just took out my old one and copied all my files saved them with a hard drive connector for 5 bucks what's going on. Maybe I'm just reading fine print hopefully June 11th as Windows XP is jettisoned mass of bad graphic computers not really worth playing I hope its fixed.

You should probably update the weekly restart notices to say it should take about an hour and a half to two hours.

They're getting longer.

Still down it seems

Well it also started about 2 hours early today as well without notice. Gotta love that.

[Incredulousdog]

I just started last Thursday I think. Is this a normal Wednesday thing? At least 2 hours so far.

Well , as a counter do you pay your contractors extra to do a poor job then. Although I don't advocate cancelling a subscription, I do advocate not paying a lot of money for poor execution. I did drop my VIP last November so i could control when I paid for something according to the quality of the game's execution and the direction being taken.

The DDO game worlds will be brought down for a weekly restart every Wednesday starting at 9:00 AM Eastern (-5 GMT). The downtime typically lasts for less than an hour.

Why are you posting on an old thread the download time? Just wondering. I was looking for todays down time restart update and all I could find was this one. With all old comments and info. Please make new thread so we can follow.

No normally it is about 1 to 1.5 hours every week at same time and it's not too bad. However,

This week it started way early with no warning and nothing on forums about it. They are very hit and miss on customer service announcing about extra downtime. Also seems they can't get an admin with the basic skills to start a broadcast in game at least an hour before these downtimes start. Sometimes you will get a 30 second warning if you are lucky that the server is coming down. Nothing like just starting the last boss fight on a quest/raid and getting the server will be coming down in 30 seconds... which was delayed to lag and the server going offline 5 seconds later.

Crystal Cove is a major event. Plus we had a buddy boost weekend.
Why is it so hard to understand that cleanup might take a bit longer than normal?

True words my friend. So sad. No warning shot. Latency even on high performance PCs. Setting turned all the way down to playDoh. My MOTHER EFIN MAIL is empty ok. WAT?? Now posting on an old thread to what? Sneaks' one in. Kind of rapey isn't it? Even Marvin wanted to know..
"what's goin on?"
