Yes, downtime IS an estimate - sometimes it takess less time, sometimes more, and you don't know till it is completed.
Fizbad: Cryptic does "document - the maintenance post was amde last night and has been updated frequently since maintenance began. Read a little. And don't ever, on any network (unless you are the CIO) expect a detailed message of everything that was accomplished during the maintenance. They will tell you what you need to play your game, and you do not need to know more than that.
Received about 20-24 mb / patched 103 mb , starting game to select characters, ..."The server is unavailble at this time" , i guess its almost completed.

how long this maintenance it`s goining i would apriciate an aswer it`s already 2 hours after the time set to finish and i still got server offline
You should look at the time. It said it starts at 7am PDT and estimated downtime is 3 hours. That took it to 10am PDT. By the time is going to take longer as the launcher says till 11am PDT. So for me it will be done in 40 mins as I am on MDT and it is only 11:20am

I couldn't agree more, it blows my mind how many people flip out every week about it. I mean... EVERY WEEK. Same time, same day. Cryptic has been doing it at this time every day every week for YEARS. All of their games come down on Thursday morning for maintenance and I played STO for years before Neverwinter and it's always been the same. I can probably count on one hand the number of times it hasn't happened at this time in the past three or four years. Yes, they do emergency stuff now and then, but.. Thursday morning 7AM Pacific, 10AM Eastern (etc) every week.
Every week.
Thursday morning, 7AM Pacific time (that is -- local time for Cryptic over there in the bay area).
Just tattoo it on your bloody hand if you can't remember.
Can some bright spark please explain what that is in GMT as it's now 18.00 GMT & the server is down
they really need to get their timing right . I was in the middle of a dungeon at just after 15:00uk time and the server went down ,, now it said between 15:00 and 17:00 utc time .UTC time is an hr behind uk time!! http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/timezone/utc
so the server should have gone down at 16h00 uk time .
its great that you do this maintenance but please please get your times right
i realise this is not really right thread but right one is closed
