We will ba having our regularly scheduled server maintenance tonight at 11pm PST. Tonight's maintenance is only a restart. We expect maintenance to run about 3 hours so during that time you will not be able to access the servers.

We thank you for your patience and apologize for the inconvenience.

    Are you asking if they can implement server time in the game itself? Because that's already there for a very long time z.z

    It's taking long because they are building the snowmen one by one and adding some lag to them.

    I don't understand how your technician can take 1 more hour then expected to reboot the servers, and still not be fired 5 years ago. If i pull this off with my customers, i would have been lynched 100 times over already.

    I like when people talk without having any clue of what things are.
    Shuting down servers to do a maintance is not like you shut down your TV. With the servers is more than pressing a button on a remote controler.
    sylenthunder already explained how its done on other thread. Ask him , maybe he will be nice to repeat that again.

    The fact that they are taking longer, has nothing to do on how a reboot is done. I know exactly how a server rack is rebooted, takes me 30 minutes alone just to power down everything correctly.

    The fact is, they say it will take "about" 3 hours, and every single time it's 5 hours. That's a 2 hour difference in expectation and that is what pisses people off.

    If they say it will take 5 hours, then people will come back after 5 hours, and see that the servers are up and running, aka no complaining.
