Server, Forums and Website Downtime – July 12, 2011
This announcement was posted last week, but we knew it would get drowned out by Fan Faire coverage, so here we go… from EverQuest2.com:
Beginning July 12, 2011 at 1:00 a.m. US Pacific Time, we’ll be performing maintenance on all games and services. During this maintenance, our forums, websites and games will also be unavailable. The estimated downtime for the maintenance is 7 hours.
We apologize for this interruption and will resume the affected services as soon as the maintenance is completed.
Trackback from your site.

It’s all Games and Services, so that would be Platform. Security upgrades maybe.

Ether Security or Hardware?

Everyone is tired from Fan Faire … taking the day off. Just kidding, it probably is security!

Smokejumper said kilts would go live on Tuesday, so it seems like there’s at least some game-specific patching as well as what seems to be SOE-wide maintenance.

The last of the EQ2 server upgrades are over the next 2 weeks I believe. The only un-upgraded servers will be the newest Russian servers, Vox, and Bazaar. The former because it is newer hardware (2007). The latter due to server population.

I just hope it is only 7 hours and not 10 or 12 as these things tend to be. LOL

As a business trying to keep customers, you would think they would just say 10 hours, and then be in a bit more of a positive light for being done in 9. Not impressed. If I would have seen a more realistic downtime, I would have gone to bed after work. Instead I’m just venting on some forum. Thanks, keep up the good work.

So this seems to be becoming typical… By 7hours they mean 13, and by updates/releases they mean re-doing their **** ups.

10 Hours and not a word on status…it becomes harder and harder to trust SOE for anything they say given update times. Half the time the Network page says the servers are all up while they are down. Today’s upgrade is over 3 hours from their posted time. I understand the need for security and upgrades, but why disrespect the customers by not posting update notes at least indicating the true status and length of downtime. Peeps just want to know and plan their day as well.

You forgot to mention that some people spend a lot of money on their chars/accounts. SOE is proving to be trash and unreliable.
