** NA and EU Region Downtime - Storm Legion - 8:00am PST/4:00pm GMT 11/13/12! **

Good afternoon, RIFTers!

You've all been waiting for it - tomorrow brings the release of Storm Legion and the accompanying downtime for the patch to RIFT 2.0!

ALL RIFT SHARDS, for both North America and European regions, will be coming down at the same time tomorrow: 8:00am PST / 4:00pm GMT, 11/13/12.

We're saying ** 4 hour downtime ** though obviously we want to keep it much shorter than that! (Usually it's more like 2. But you know, expansion. CRAZY AMOUNTS OF NEW STUFF.)

Status updates will be here on this thread throughout the downtime to give you up-to-the-latest info on when shards will be unlocking.

I'll see you in the morning for 2.0!

Good morning gentleelfs and ladydwarves! - And miss bahmis and mathosirs and ethfolks and kel-ladies!

You know what time it is!

NA and EU shards are coming down for the 2.0 update now. :)

Server updates are running! :)

Datas... datas everywhere...

Update is ongoing, nothing surprising to report yet. :)

We're updating some configurations for both NA and EU servers soon, expect to see things pop off of the shard list in a bit here. :)

NA shards are reconfigured and locked and being verified (which will take us a bit yet!)

EU shard configuration-amation will be running soon. :)

Nothing new and exciting yet - update is proceeding as usual, if you can call this usual. :P

EU configurations are running now. :)

EU shards are coming back up and will be getting validated shortly!

Taking care of some final housecleaning and cross-checks to prepare your cabins for takeoff. :)

Ready... set....

NA and EU shards are now unlocked - welcome to Storm Legion. :)
