And by Turbine's remaining staff as well!


But I'll bite ...
Monday's downtime is so they can move the games to Dan's Discount Data-center, with their iron clad uptime promise - at least 95% uptime or your next month is 25% off!

Turbine will wisely use the savings to pay a special bonus to Producers to thank them for sticking it to, er, I mean sticking with, the company through these difficult times.

In addition to the lower rate, Turbine will also enjoy month to month billing instead of the yearly contract required by the previous data-center, allowing them to waste less of their hard earned bonuses if WB pulls the plug on short notice.

Thanks for playing, see you in the game soon (TM)!
  

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.

Usually, when there are major OS/application and network level patches, it takes awhile to generate the stats to fine tune it, apply patches for the patches or just revert if it is a total failure. It is a bad time to actually introduce your data level patches (hard to tell if the issues were caused by game code or the infrastructure).

I used to schedule a downtime 3 days later in anticipation of tuning the infrastructure. It seems they lag a week for tuning.  This is the type of downtime where they would also introduce some of their stealth fixes.

Monday's down time is a hotfix for a bug that ate off the table in the Leaky Dinky and died on Cuntovans pillow.

Don't care. Fix something - thereis nothing to fix (it's DDO). Prevent ppl from doing eXploits - don't give flying kite (there will always be a new one.Fix my damn toon - come on (as at first one).
Speculations - IDK&IDC.

Guys, have you ever noticed that they always do maintenance directly before and after special events? Nothing to see here, move along.

Cos it sucks?? Roll Eyes
  

Dear players,

The D&D rules you were familiar with were too simple to understand, so we're continuing our move away from them to needlessly confusing subsystems that will make your play experience less fun and invalidate old builds and loot. We hope you have fun working out what the fuck MRR, PRR, MP, SP, RP, CL, MCL and all the other bullshit we made up whilst drunk means.

Love,

People who don't know how to fix their own mistakes cleanly

maybe they will try to fix the lag generated by the fucking turbine border router on PNAP side... Since the maintenance will affect everything.

Warner's is December 31st, sadly.  Or happily.  Or irrelevantly.
