Just take the game down already

Its obvious there are some serious problems with the game still. Sooner or later Cryptic needs to bite the bullet and take the game down for longer than an hr to fix these issues. Might as well do it now on a weekday. You're already getting grief from whiny fanboys.

Yes, reboot it now.

Then maybe I can play later tonight.

Yes, this is now getting beyond a slight inconvenience. We had downtime before the weekend, during the weekend, after the weekend, and yet still they don't seem to have sorted the issue. Do they even know what they're doing?

it should be brought down for a day, analyze the whole shard or run some serious diagnostics or something, find the issue and correct it. it needs more then another 2 hour downtime, what makes you think another downtime will be the last where the last 6 days worth have failed? it needs to be brought down and properly fixed or upgraded to something easier to manage without loosing anything.

Because it's not that simple. They're obviously doing maintenance they hope will fix things but sometimes it doesn't. In an online environment what you THINK fixes things in a small farm (ie with just maybe 10 dev's on a server) can still be an issue when thousands jump into it. Even if they took it down for 24 hours to fix things they think are the root cause, they might not be and in the end that downtime was that long for nothing (and we'd be back at square one.)

I don't like the downtime anymore than the next person but sadly, MMO's go through this on occasion especially with basically full game revamps which this expansion did.
