Feldon Update:
The downtime for Nagafen, Butcherblock, and LDL has been extended to around 10pm PDT this evening.
We apologize for the extended downtime. As a result of this, the team has already extended the Moonlight Enchantments event an extra day to make up for all the time that these servers will be missing.
Thank you again for your continued patience.
This makes 22 hours estimated downtime.
This, it should be noted, is in addition to the 12 hours of downtime (and uptime that was rolled back) that we had for last week’s abortive attempt at the database upgrade. Though one imagines that they’ll actually be testing it this time out to prevent the need for another rollback, I’m presuming that playing at any time whatsoever tonight will be very much at your own risk.
I guess at least residents of Butcherblock and LDL can be happy that they decided to do our upgrade after all. They were originally saying that they were just going to do Nagafen, which would presumably have left another 12 hour downtime in LDL and BB’s futures.

I hope players realize that means parts of the team are working every hour of server downtime. For salaried employees, that sucks.
