DST Maintenance

Hello everyone--it seems a post was not made, but we are indeed doing quick server maintenance to adjust for Daylight Savings Time.

East servers are now back up and open.

West servers will go down several minutes before 2AM (when the time switches), and will hopefully be back up within the hour.

Sorry for the short notice.

    There is no patch; tonight's maintenance is only to change the clocks. I will update this thread when servers are open.

    2 unnecessary updates per year to get a fantasy world to have a same clock routine as the real world.... whilst most of the users of that fantasy world don't even have the same time zone to start with... What's the point of DST Maint?

    so events are at the same real world time year round (at least for those on same DST schedule)

    That logic fails me.
    At least by not adapting to real world clocks for that small percentage of people coincidentally using the same timezone, there might be this little chance that for the rest of the world that one hour lap makes it a little easier to also try those events from time to time.
    And I know... NOW the morai server exists, but it didn't exist back when I made my char so I would actually consider it more fair for it not to change << when something starts at 5am my time I might consider getting up early for it.. but not if it instantly goes changing back to 4am for the spoiled few. (and don't tell me I'm the only player in my timezone stuck on a server that doesn't do events at normal hours for my region)

    Thanks for the update BI >> back to play...

    You really need that mouth of yours washed with soap. Yes, I get that your angry, but taking your anger out on some GM, who probably has nothing to do with the actual shutdowns, is rude.

    Anyways, it does appear that something went wrong. With anyone who logged out before the server went down, everything is fine. For people logged in when it shut down, something went wrong. Aside from causing deleted items, duplicated items, etc, it also seems to have moved people to previous locations and deleted experience gained near shutdown time.

    The servers are based in one time zone. You choose the server you play on. The US uses DST, thus the US server time is adjusted. Don't like it? Play on another server, or better yet play some other game and quit your QQing here.

    Arent you overexagerating a bit?
    Let me answer for you.
    Yes you are.
    Who are you to tell others that their mouth needs to be washed with soap.
    You are just a player.
    Yes the guy is a little bit rude but you are more rude than him.

    And after being rude you realized that things went wrong.
    Arent you something?

    Actually, what becomes of you is directly connected to what becomes of me and vice versa.
    Sweetiebot server status?

    Wow even Sweetiebot is salty in this thread.

    And anyone who's been playing for any length of time (like Mosz) should know a couple of things:

    1. There is always maintenance on DST change. East coast may not have gotten a warning but west coast did...

    2. The game does not save before server shutdown, ever, so doing anything important beforehand is a bad idea.

    1. i...didnt complain about dst maint, i even defended the need for it.

    2. just plain incorrect, it normally does save in the last seconds, otherwise people would be forcesaving every maint

    Let me answer for you.
    Yes you are.

    No, read below. Also, each new sentence does not need to be on another line. It's incredibly difficult to read.
    Who are you to tell others that their mouth needs to be washed with soap.
    You are just a player.
    Yes the guy is a little bit rude but you are more rude than him.

    You don't read the forums much do you? Mosz likes to be rude a lot and cause arguments. The other day I told them I'd start to point out every time they acted up. This was one of those times. This is not being rude, this is me pointing out their behavior again with exaggerated language. The GM doesn't need that flack when they were probably just a messenger.
    And after being rude you realized that things went wrong.
    Arent you something?

    I realized something was wrong before I read that post. So don't get high and mighty. My point was that they were being rude to the GM. They could have pointed out something was wrong without being rude. Then proceed to go to ticket support and be nice if something really did happen.

    One of my characters lost some daily quest experience, but you don't see me taking it out on the GM. I'm annoyed, but, meh, it's a game.
    2. The game does not save before server shutdown, ever, so doing anything important beforehand is a bad idea.

    What? When? I've never seen it do this before.
