Sick of server shutdowns

They did warn you, like 7 hours ago when they posted the Server maint thread.

Oh and logic would tell you every Tuesday at 11pm there is maintenance... usually...

+ a little thing in game, warning when the server will shut down and it means maintenance.

I love how... one dimensional a LOT of the posts from the normal moderators.... are when replying to/closing of threads.

Though this thread isn't about that, as others have said their USUALLY is maintenance every TUESDAY at 1am my time, which can differ depending on your time zone that you are in. Also there usually is some kind of warning when the servers shutdown, albeit lately its been a very short notice just before the server get shut down, I kind of miss the hour message that would pop up every 15 minutes to warn us of imminent danger of the server shutting down for the various necessary maintenance's; however, I for one as well as others have questioned what exactly they do with so many maintenance's, and still no fixes to the numerous bugs that continue to plague this really... fairly decent game, albeit it has declined in the past few years (for me) but as does every game. (Maintenance's whether we like it or not, does help the game run smoother, and hopefully keep new glitches from arising)

Despite the infamous uproar on the forums when we got new mods after one of the communities favorite left/got fired (still a little unclear what happened exactly), the game is still thriving to some extent, or else the game really would be deserted by now, and there would be far fewer players... playing to try and enjoy this game for all its worth... for as long as possible.

Also... Toxie/Alk/Sabbel if your reading this... cheers!

Cheers indeed! Now get on vent with us!!

and @ OP so it's not off topic, check the forums every tuesday when they have normally had maintenance for like, 2 or 3 years?

believe me, you dun want announcements.. on german server we had announcement every 10 mins -.-

I do, and I miss them, an hour warning is far better than the 500 seconds we get, by that time people who arent paying attention to world chat/has not read the forums and doesn't know maintenance is closing in are well half way into an instance, and whether there is a fee to it or not, it really does suck losing progress, just because of a bad warning system, its not like it's unpredictable, like the weather can be, sure people should be aware of it by now, but as pwi has proven to us, maintenance really doesn't happen EVERY single Tuesday, it is NOT consistent; however, someone on their staff knows when maints are, and should be able to relay the message to the right person, and get the message out to everyone (in a timely manner like 1 hour +), so everyone can enjoy/make proper plans for the night without feeling cheated out of something.

Ten-Twenty minutes should be enough time/intervals... no matter how annoying it is to some, to make sure that everyone sees/reads the message, and we don't have (AS MANY) stragglers failing to see the warning, and then coming on forums just to QQ about bad/fail warning system, or even lack thereof. xD

it wasn't 1 hour warning, we had that red text whole day
