Hotfix for cards or just maintenance?
  

“Most Americans are close to total ignorance about the world. They are ignorant. That is an unhealthy condition in a country in which foreign policy has to be endorsed by the people if it is to be pursued. And it makes it much more difficult for any president to pursue an intelligent policy that does justice to the complexity of the world.”

Is it possible that my game actually runs better right after the maintenance period?
I am not really a code or IT person so i don t really know what maintenance entails.

Maintenance means that your game will run better for about 24 hours. Then it will return to the same shitty crap you see every day. I meant 24 hours from the start of the maintenance, just to be clear.

So it's like defragmenting hard drive after an update/patch/hotfix ?
I mean in both cases game run like shit again the next day anyway.

Historically, DDO maintenance has been scheduled shortly after Windows updates have been released. They also do maintenance, I believe, to get complete backups of their databases before they upload and apply the next game Updates. Since Windows Updates came out this past Tuesday, I'm betting Monday's maintenance is to install those.

Because you linked an imgur gallery rather than just the individual pictures.

Bullshit.

You HOPE but we all know that there are some variables that get lost during reboots and your crack staff has to re-enter them (e.g., Oops, this beta dev code was turned on - ON THE PRODUCTION SERVERS, WHY THE FUCK WOULD IT BE ON AS A DEFAULT IN THE FIRST PLACE????)

Well since last time you made a maintenance like that, and I said the same thing... to be proven wrong.

I won't say anything... You might take the opportunity to plug some hole in a sneaky way.

I think you've inspired a new slogan!
"Turdbin: turning over more leaves than a tea company since before you could put paralizer on your heavy pick"
  

Turdbin, keep changing the DDO rules, because McDonalds sold over 200 billion hamburgers by changing the recipe for their Special Sauce every couple of months to keep interest up.
