Soooo, do they never test run launch to see if it works, cause every mod so far has failed, guess will take normal 2 days to a week to sort bugs, maybe it's the Lag ++ module that's not producing enough rubber banding, oh well we can only live in hope.
Actually what is funny to me is that people expect it to be up at all. Every expansion/mod/big update I have seen for every MMO i have played has these issues. It is just not realistic to think they will go off without a hitch. The issue is with how they forecast the downtime. The servers will be coming down on Tuesday for a patch of indeterminate length and may be up and down all day. That needs to be the tagline in the launcher.
Just imagine the stress the team must be under ... good luck guys and gals
There are more than BIS players in this game RIP Real Tiamat, RIP Real Demogorgon RIP real Temple of the spider. Why remove non bis content to give to bis players ???? FORCING the majority of your player base to play 4 mod old dungeons and trial will have a bad result on player base Changes are getting so bad i would rather prefer no new changes (RIP ICE FISHING in winter fest)

Notice no notice or updates on twitter, forums, or facebook about servers being down. What means of communication am i forgetting to check?
I was able to log in and invoke on one toon, switching booted me. Just a hunch, but figured the server is not making additional instances. Collected professions from gateway, thought I'd do some SCA to pass the time - yeah, pretty sure they rebooted.
if they just give us a real time to come back or even say the next day, i think people would be much happier then coming back every hour to find they added yet another hour of waiting and teasing people by turning the server on for 1 min and back off again

We're aware that the gates of Strongholds are having issues. We've sent our masons to check it out.

you know here in italy we are quite used to wait, the burocracy is like a life maze where you have to proove to be dead to pass over the next phase...NW is the same, it has to be dead to proove us it went good the new mod expansion!
The servers are in America. They should be used to Americans by now:

I can read. That does not say that the servers are down.
No... it's their cute little way of saying they are down... without saying they are down.
Honestly... I dont know why they think they can pull of a module release anywhere near their original ETA, nor why they think they can do it without a major server issue after it is supposedly "live".
Every module release has been FUBAR on the day of the update... taking hours longer than they originally estimate. Simple patches cant even be done within their projected ETA's.
The entire community has been putting up with this since launch... and quite frankly, it is getting... no... it IS old. We are tired of it.
Oh... and now this...

More cuteness. It doesnt make anyone smile... its not cute... nor is it professional.
Well, there goes that. My wife said I could spend $50.00 USD on this game if it actually came online (AND WORKING) by 1pm EST. Sorry Cryptic.. no $50.00 for you.

Whenever I had to do server maintanience or major software updates it was always at 2am.
That way if dragons got into the server room we had extra time to fix it BEFORE peak network usage hours....
Why are you complaining? As it has been said time and time again, the PW server works flawless, if ppl would not try to log in, there would be no log in issues, lags, rubberbanding etc. It is our fault, sorry PW.

Should I start making whipping sound effects? Nah, that's just crass.
I'm bummed because I opened a buncha refining packs I'd been storing around, hoping to get a 15% off coupon. And I got one! Was gonna use it on VIP packs when BAM!!!!!!!!!!!
Server inaccessible. and since apparently time the server is down counts towards the timestamp of things, and coupons only last 2 hours, there goes 400ish zen

Boo was rather tasty for a miniature giant space hamster. But could've used a little garlic, I think.

That doesn't mean "the game" - the gates of strongholds is a map transfer, right? Hopefully, they're aware there are problems entering the game too
