Long downtime December 10th – server status

Although it sucks when they have to bring the servers down, I understand that they have to sometimes. Today though, I have to give them kudos for actually having a big obvious post on the EQ2 players page. That is the first time I noticed that at least, and since it is a longer downtime, it is good that they made a post about it. Here is what they said:

Server Downtime – Thursday, December 10, 2009 from 1:00-10:00 AM PST -12/09/09. Beginning at 2:00 AM PST on Thursday, December 10, 2009, all SOE game servers will be offline for hardware maintenance. This includes all of our MMOs as well as TCGs. We expect the downtime to last around 4 hours. For the EQII servers this downtime will extend to 10am PST.

We need to hotfix in the morning to clear up some bugs and to turn on Frostfell. However we cannot hotfix immediately after the maintenance.

This downtime will be for all servers so that we can turn on Frostfell and the hotfixes at the same time for everyone. We realize that this will mean downtime during peak hours for some and we apologize for the inconvenience this presents. Thank you for your patience and we’ll update this thread with any new information.

We apologize for this interruption and will resume all affected services as soon as the maintenance is completed.

Until next blog post,

Frostfell! December 10th

Frostfell is back! Woot! With the hotfix scheduled for December 10th, Frostfell will make its way back into the game and be there until January 7, 2010 (another hotfix that day). Familiar features will return, such as Frostfell quests, Frostfell decorations and how can we forget, snowball fights. EQ2 players report that there will be a Frostfell collection again (new one? I hope so; however, I do think one of my alts is missing one thing from last year’s Frostfell, so the same returning one might not be too bad either). Gardy Ex-Giftgiver will have a new quest. EQ2 players also state that a new feature is that Santa Glug will offer new presents to anyone who asks, once a day. Um, didn’t Mr. Glug do that last year too? There will apparently though be new items to purchase in the Wonderland Village as well as new craftable items. One thing to keep in mind, is that now with this years Frostfell, when you throw a fruitcake at someone, it will give them a fruitcake to throw right back at you.
