Give it another week or so and see when there regular downtime is going to be, so far they have been down two sundays in a row which is useless for anyone outside of north america. At least todays downtime is actually for a patch though. But yeah, not much I can say to compensate people from your part of the world with the crappy downtimes you guys get, we moan a lot in the EU but yours are usually peak time.

I play from Australia too so this is annoying but I'll live with it. As long as it's up over the weekends I'll be happy. The Enlightened take things Lightly

The two first downtimes where for maintainance, while this one is for the 1.01 patch that should fix some of the issues people have with some quests and chat channels. I am guessing they will go back to weekly downtimes after fixing the above issues.

No matter what time they patch, it's going to be primetime somewhere. All I can do is offer you a tissue. "Inside all of us is an adventure.."

BOW DOWN BEFORE THE GOD OF DEATH!	7/10/12 7:02:25 AM#12 Report this post Explain why you are reporting this post: (750 characters max.) Last night it was down to try and hotfix the chat issues. Today it's down for patch 1.0.1, which they say has a complete fix for the chat problems and lots more minor fixes (based on test server nots if they are accurate). If you read the launcher beofre you start the game you will have had a few days notice that all this was going to happen.

The source of your annoyance is your mistaken expectation that the rest of the world should follow your personal schedule. Your choices are to do nothing and remain annoyed, or realize how silly this expectation is and move on.

In search of a game with little or no downtime, you start playing a MMO at launch (facepalm).

It's annoying, but it's to be expected. The only real question is how much downtime are you willing to put up with to play the game? Join the League For Gamers.

I for once applaud them for fixing things so quick. This game has some really bad bugs, but with the first patch adjusting most of them already (at least I hope so) I see a bright future. And I there's a good change they're giving us some free gametime for it. At least my girlfriend got extra time with her buddy pass yesterday, because of the dowtime. Anyway, you can't really judge an MMO by their first month. Any MMO has major downtime then. And luckely it's not as bad as for example Diablo 3 (not even an MMO).

Just curious, but which other MMOs (besides those made by Funcom) launched with servers being down for 4-5hours every other day for the first week, at least. People keep saying 'this is just normal', but I can't seem to think of any successful MMOs that have had this problem. Even WoW didn't have this many server downtimes, but they did have a big problem w/ Ques. Don't remember having this problem with LotRO, or Rift, or EQ2, or CoH, or Eve, or WoW, or Champions. So where are all these MMOs that have such clumsy launches? I know WAR had probably about the same number of bugs, but not as much server maintenance. Honestly curious on this.

MIght be a time zone thing but I havent seen the servers being down everyday at all.
