To be fair they did put up a twitter notice 7 minutes after server shutdown.

There was something benefiting the players, that absolutely needed to stop as fast as humanly possible.
If I can read the dev tracker, you can too.

The point was that when a bug helps players it gets fixed as soon as humanly possible, but when it hurts players it can sit forever. Anyone else still hitting the 16 year old ladder bug? Originally Posted by C-Dog

It was so important that there's no rollback. Originally Posted by C-Dog

The devs have a fix for that, but it needs to be applied on a case-by-case basis. Bug reports with /loc are supposed to help chip away at that issue. Originally Posted by Eantarus

Don't forget sex, race and possibly class as it all seems to be of influence. Originally Posted by LeoLionxxx

Regardless of how fast it needed to be fixed isn't the issue. A 30 second shutdown announcement is disrespectful. Originally Posted by C-Dog

In hindsight I agree. I can understand hardcore being brought down as it does effect gameplay in a big way over there. Originally Posted by Epicsoul

"the" ladder bug implies that it's one bug. Originally Posted by LightBear

Which I guess in 16 years has not yet been possible to accomplish, even with the recent invention of "search" (or even that fancy new "search and replace").

Ladder bug is minor (easy workaround) therefore it gets lower priority. At least we have ladders, that's pretty unique in MMOs.

I'm guessing it's when you're on a ladder climbing up, and you get rubber banded/teleported down a few rungs constantly until you're at the bottom, and this will continue until you get off the ladder and try again. At least that's the only ladder issue I've encountered. Originally Posted by LightBear
As for the OP I agree. Server shutdowns caused by the devs shutting them down should come with a warning of a few minutes, not 30 seconds. I had just started a boss fight when it happened this time... 30 seconds did not give me enough time to do anything meaningful / log off properly / get to a safe place.
