    If you look closely, SweetieBot's server statuses include latency. Likely she's pinging the servers to check their status, which normally would be accurate during a server shutdown. It's safe to assume the maintenance they're doing has only disabled logins, but that the servers themselves are still running during the switch while things are being synced up.

    That's pretty interesting. :o

    'Server status' under the community tab shows that the servers are indeed offline.

    There's a difference between the servers being offline for gameplay and genuinely being offline. In this case, you can still ping them, so the servers aren't technically down. For all intents and purposes though, as far as the playerbase is concerned, they are offline while the new servers are being set up.

    That makes sense.

    I've been wondering, why do people spam SweetieBot for server checks o.o? Much more simple, and quicker, to go to the Server Status tab instead of someone asking her every ~5mins o.o

    Greetings to all our beloved players!

    Tomorrow, at 11pm PDT, will be a special day!
    We're moving west servers to newer hardware, yay!b:victory

    All the West Servers will be down for approx. 3 hours.
    However, we'll try and reduce that time with all our GM powers.

    This upgrade should improve many latency problems,
    Which will reduce any future game-causing tantrums.

    Everything is aimed to be wrapped up by 3am PDT.
    We'll be working hard to this goal; we have coffee!

    Still... we can use your prayers.

    -The PWI Team

    It states here that the servers will be down

    And also, because the server status there does not update regularly, it can say offline for up to 10 minutes after the servers come back online, at least on my personal experience.

    No idea why people request regularly, though I will say for timing purposes it can be quite useful to have a sweetiebot confirmation of the servers coming online in the thread. Means for those of us who slept through maint, we can check for that post to figure out when certain spawns will happen, since most of the rare spawns (including but not limited to rare pets) happen a specific amount of time after the servers come back up.

    Hey Aedric,
    no ETA I'm afraid. We're almost done with the server files but then there are logs and logs and logs to switch. Not to mention final checks on all 4 servers. If you cornered me in a darkened alley, I'd yell "1 hour" at you as I run away before you can get me to explain why.
