Server still down :O

[Snipezilla]

Sooooooo... What goodies do we get for this extended downtime

[Trixter79]

Apparently Greenscale's massive bulk is causing the servers to go overtime on the update.
NO ETA AT THIS TIME - will update you when we have more info!

What does Greenscale have to do with the NA/ EU live server update?

What does Greenscale have to do with the NA/ EU live server update?

The fact that prime and live aren't separate?

I have this interesting mental picture of the Trion team trying to shoehorn a massive dragon through a funnel into a server.

I had a more NC-17 thought.

Anytime i do any kind of data transfer of any kind i always see an ETA. Seems to me problem isnt with the transfer of data to the server. Just a guess, the patch is bonked in some way.

One hopes those of us in EU/UK will not get penalised for missing daily log in....

Atm, im just hoping for some form of communication on whats going on. This is the 1 thing that drives me mad when crap goes sideways. This obv is not a problem with migration of data to the server. It would never take the almost 5 hours that the server has been down to do. Yet we are being told "Apparently Greenscale's massive bulk is causing the servers to go overtime on the update.

This post after this amount of time is obv a bone being thrown our way. How about a little more honesty

[Leocadia]

Boy, am I glad that Prime will not take away from Live. /sarcasm

I frankly don't give a rat's furry crack about Prime. It's obnoxious to lock Live because of it. Yes yes, they didn't buy enough hardware or whatever to keep them separate. I just wish they had done whatever they need to do to not have them linked.

What more info do you need? I think they've done ok holding us updated of the situation. Is it always a need for some people to dig into negativities, I am thankful if there is problems and issues that they try to fix before going online. I don't wanna DC every 5 min cause they didn't do the proper job. Try to taste some real life for a few hours, it doesn't hurt

We are not penalised, because the reset is tomorrow 16.00 (summertime). And if you missed it, you get all items one day later. The calendar stopped always after 24 days. So you have a few days to catch up.

It's raid time.... just remove that quest or disable it and fix it..

The problem is not the lack of info provided. Its the info they provided being misleading or unrelated to the actual reason of the length of downtime involved. I quote original post "Apparently Greenscale's massive bulk is causing the servers to go overtime on the update.

We were told the problem was just a migration of data. This obv was misinformation. Im using that term in the efforts of just trying to be nice. At this point its obv a bonked patch. Im just saying Id rather an honest reason then to be thrown a bone

People do work!! And the re-set seemed to be noon in the UK, with BST being a factor obv. I thought they handled (as a newb) the mount issue very well; might hope for the same here..

so which is it? buffs with the patch? nerfs? what? it says what has changed, but which way, and on what souls?
do we have to jump on practice dummies too work it out?
do we have too stand with others too work out if we got screwed over or not?
are some souls now worthless to raid on ?
