UPDATE: The game worlds have reopened. We have reverted the change which was causing this afternoon's issues.

The DDO game worlds are unavailable to deploy a hotfix to correct an issue with certain effects. We will let you know when the worlds reopen.

Thanks for letting us know 17 mins after being kicked from server.

That 30 second warning in game was truly top notch.

*sigh*

I am glad things are being fixed, but still, that was ... special. -_-

Someone really should have a long and frank conversation with the Operations Manager at SSG.

A 10 minute (or even a 5 minute) warning would have been better and I'm pretty sure not that many more raid bosses would have been killed and that much more raid loot awarded because of that extra time.

[Kerria]

If you guys are in charge of the game, then why would you give us a 30 sec. warning that in reality was more like 15. That is just an insult to your player base. This is far from the first time, but is there anyone with the authority to make it the last? Or is it just whenever the janitor takes the hamsters out of the Wheel? You are better than this, let's get it together and be professionals.

That's not completely fair: On the hardcore server they gave us a full 30 seconds warning.

Of course, it was in a color I've never seen used before, a green that did not really look all that different from party chat.

I hope I am still alive.

Nope we will all be dead again when the game comes back up

I strongly disagree it was a full 30 seconds.

[dogbreath68]

Seems there is a pandemic of people taking names on hardcore. It is almost as if they made a list of all the names they liked, but couldn't come up with on their own. 5 years the same name, then this season its taken like instantly. Almost as if they were waiting with nothing better to do.
Awesome showing of the uninitiated this season on HC.

I was too busy trying to finish a battle i never saw a notice when the game closed, sigh but that creature did seem a bit tougher than normal..

[Yamani]

Twitter says 5-8, forums say 5-7. Which one is it?

"I hope I'm still alive..." Classic! We've all been there....

[drathdragon]

i was on guild's ship, luckly i am safe this time.

but that suddenly message tho '' your character was booted from the server''
made me think i was banned for something XD

[Vectordaemon]

Well I am not redoing it if I lost my character to a poorly timed notice, if my character died that will make me very unhappy. I was looking forward to this, and then it is possibly botched.... Actually one more go, still unhappy they gave us little to no warning.

dogbreath - one attraction of hardcore is the chance to get names that are unavailable on any server because DDO has an abysmal system of letting names stay unavailable forever if someone used them for 5 minutes 10 years ago then left the game.

What name did you want - maybe someone reading this thread got it but not as a top choice and so is willing to release it.

I am a founder and was a beta tester, so I am fully aware of this game more so than id say 90% that play it. Names are symbols, status if you will. Forgive me if I don't share your take on it. So when you don't like the name you chose before , don't take someone else's because you cant think of a name on your own.
Its like the people who join HC and box their way to points, lazy and uninitiated. Seems to be a theme with today's generation.

[Cordovan]

We are currently working to reopen the game worlds, but we need a bit more time. We are extending the downtime until 10:00 PM Eastern (-5 GMT).

[Vectordaemon]

Thanks for the update, now I will just sit here and be bored till 7 pacific.

[rabidfox]

No rollback planned still?

[Razor_Wit]

So long as you remember that when you booted me from the server I was level 32 with 6k favor and 25 reaper points...
