    Ever think maybe they are doing it in stages instead of one big lump? They are probably doing the Arc update then will do the server update. At least that is my guess.

    Morai dailies, base quests, nuema runs are not really a problem in my opinion

    But aba/sot weekly, FSP, UCH, lunar, PV should maybe not be started now yeah

    Ya it looks like the maintenance is complete. All games, minus Cryptic games, should be functioning. If you come across any Arc related issues, let me know and we'll investigate.

    The following sites and services will be offline during this period

    All Arcgames.com pages
    Perfect World Entertainment Titles (Neverwinter, Star Trek Online and Champions Online will remain online)


    So, does this mean that holding off on completing anything in game for three hours for this supposed maintenance for PW to go down was unnecessary? b:angry

    Maintenance was only supposed to last an hour, if that, but we had to give a 4 hour window in case anything went wrong. It appears however, that someone found a way to magically do maintenance without having to pull the servers offline until the very last minute, and for only a few minutes. It was to my understanding that during this time, everything should have been unavailable, but as you see that was not the case. Everything was only unavailable for 10 minutes at most.

    I'm just as confused as all of you.

    Edit: And to answer the last post, yes the servers should not be going down after this. I'll post here. along with FB/Twitter if that changes, but so far I haven't heard anything.

    In the end you're treated like us all. No communication at all.
    Thanks for doing your best, Sparkie

    Nope, can't log in, keeps saying has timed out and, of course, check MY connection. Well, it's not my connection, it's ARC's connection. I'll reiterate what the MAJORITY of players have suggested, once Arc is installed shouldn't have to run it to run the game. Also, we shouldn't have to make a walkaround to run the game without running Arc. I know Sparkie you are just passing along what info they(Arc/PWE) are giving you, so thank you for trying to keep us informed. Hopefully, before the day is out, I'll be able to do check ins at least. b:sad
