Maintenance is complete!

We're having an additional maintenance to fix an issue with the Refinement Cache and to do network maintenance. Estimated downtime can possibly be up to six hours, but may end early. We'll update you here, on Twitter and on Facebook.
Patch notes can be found here: http://bit.ly/1Lhk6Ol

    Eh, there's network maintenance included. That's probably why.

    Fair enough, but can't they do that when there's not an event running? like.. idk during the next regular maintenance in 2 days? Same goes for the cache issues, which won't come back before the next maintenance anyway. Just keep the store locked. The bug is already a week old and can't harm anyone anymore. Those few extra days without the store don't make any difference now.
    -edit-
    ok 3 days. It's past midnight here. my bad.

    Depends on the window they have. When the IT team says "this is the time we have available to do network maintenance" (which may not be just for NW but for the entirety of the data center) then event or no, it has to be done.

    Let's hope they will extend the event duration due to maintaince.

    By saying additional maintenance, does that mean we'll have another maintenance in 2 days time? I surely hope not, but if so, why can't both be done at the same time?

    That would depend on what needs to be done for the network maintenance. "Network maintenance" can mean any one of a thousand things, quarterly checks of equipment, backups, etc. Now, they can probably save some time from the weekly scheduled maintenance by doing some of the things they'd ordinarily be doing then, tomorrow. However, if a patch is involved there'll still have to be a separate maintenance because the aforementioned maintenance will likely be covering more than just the NW servers, while maintenance for patching covers the NW shards only.

    Not to Obfuscate the question any more with Conjecture, But I doubt the Network maintenance is what may take up to 6 hours, the fix for the PVP cache probably involves some interactions that they might actually have to test before they release it back to us.
    Cross your fingers and hope they actually test it before turning back on to break more things.

    FWIW, STO just posted to their FB page that they're going to be down at least 3hr tomorrow for the same reason. I would presume the extra fix being implemented is part of the reason that NW will be expected to be down longer. However, it still has the chance of ending early.

    What I'm reading is that the network maintenance will be done first and prioritized over all other tasks....then we get the extra downtime to implement the fix, which is only slightly more than the standard estimate.

    ...this would probably then mean that the the Protector's Jubilee would either have to be terminated early, or extended for another week...

    Any specific reason why the PTS is also not available?

    Realistically-speaking, even regular maintenance takes 6-8 hours before everyone can log back on anyway.. lol

    2xRP starts on Thursday so I'd rather then run six hours downtime now instead of doing it on Thursday and eating six hours into 2x RP.

    really ??? additional maintenance 6 hours ???
    Dev ? u are crazy ?
    is additional maintenance , dont update MOD.
    Ops...
    Additional Maintenance = 6 Hours
    Maintenance Week = 12 hours
    Update Mod = 1 Week...

    that way it will turn water in Africa , Finishing in second. Note that the amount of players are decreasing.
    We need something that will strengthen and not that make you guys lose more players .

    if there is a test server , it means that when it comes to the official turns with all fixed bugs.
    Admit that it is not only because of a grant that you guys need 6 hours of maintenance

    Honestly, I had stopped playing , I am returning the more I realize that does not change anything .

    If it takes 6 hours, it better takes 6 hours today instead of adding more down time on Thursday, the 2 X RP day.

    EDIT: somebody said that already.

    observe the revolt level of players, and tell me if the attitude of you is correct ???? It's very inconsiderate to the players, today for example in my country is a holiday tomorrow and also started the game yesterday, since donatei to start well, would use my holiday to level and have fun, oh what happens? you spoil everything, I am disappointed and frustrated, my only day off and all I wanted was to play! Congratulations ¬¬'

    Some players always suffer more than others

    Revolt is not the term I'd use. It's an extra maintenance and some players being penalized more than other due to timezones etc. is only natural.

    It sucks for you personally though.
