We'll be having a normal server restart tomorrow morning, starting at 7 AM Pacific. This will be just a server restart, not a patch.

Start time: 7 AM PST
Estimated end time: 8:30 AM PST

    This is what I imagine the Cryptic building looks like right now.

    Welcome back TT!

    Hopefully this server restart will stop the odd rubberbanding and lag I've been getting.

    Seriously it is horrible, for example:

    *Runs across The Desert Zone starting in Project Greenskin and ending at Stronghold* Mahusive lag spike and I get rubberbanded all the way back xD

    Wait... they mean that this maintenance will be performed on 1/3/13, right?

    Also, (and I realize they want to allow themselves extra time just in case), but does it take 2 hrs just to perform a server reboot?

    They probably said that just in case "something happens" :rolleyes:.

    *... correct.

    *When I was on QA for Jade Dynasty, even when we were just doing a basic server restart, we had to do a run of whiteglove checks, to be sure nothing had gone horribly wrong. In theory, restart + whiteglove = about an hour. The extra time beyond that is safety, especially if anything happens that requires debugging or a second restart. If we have an actual patch, it needs additional time for deeper testing.

    Thanks for the update & info!

    In addition to what TT said, keep in mind that this includes the STO servers and the linked servers between the two games. This is why the two games normally have maintenance at the same time.

    On a side note, I wonder if the maintenance window will go up when NWO launches?

    Wouldn't surprise me at all, especially in the first several months where they're still ironing out all the kinks.

    Well, there could be a SneakPatch to make Finkle Foundry costume pieces BoE instead of BoP....

    Gear could be nice too. But definitely the costume parts.

    Hope there is some new stuff coming out for CO soon.
    It would be good enough if there is sales for Z-store item.
    I didn't enjoy the Christmas event much cause I have no interest at all with action figures. Even though the Finkle mobs are challenging but they are not the type of robot I like.:D.
    I prefer robots made by Dr. Destroyer though.
