We just posted the following update on Network News:

Quote:

Starting on Wednesday, September 29th, we will be performing preventative network maintenance in our Frankfurt datacenter. This will require a temporary interruption in service beginning at 06:00 AM GMT on that date, which will affect all European players.

We expect the downtime to be approximately one hour, although we will do everything we can to expedite the process. Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding during this rare interruption!

Reminds me that i have to do maintenance at my workplace.

Quote:

Starting on Friday, October 1st, i will be performing preventative network maintenance in our datacenter (i will be dusting out my work computer). This will require a temporary interruption in service beginning at 08:00 on that date, which will affect two thirds of employees there (there will be 60 angry people). I shall use nearby gas station that has pressurized air with a gauge to clean the dust.

I expect the downtime to be approximately one hour, although i will do everything ican to expedite the process. Thanks in advance for patience and understanding during this rare interruption and hopefully less angry calls then last time.

It's a good thing you work in gaming industry.

did the time change? I'm in Europe and my connection was uninterrupted throughout the mentioned time period. Does that mean I should expect interruptions later or is it done now?

distilledwill · Sep 29, 2010, 07:48 AM // 07:48

Well, thats fine by me - I won't be back until 5pm! At least some of the connection problems will be sorted.

Network operations has confirmed to us that the maintenance has been completed. May be you played in a non-EU district?

Ah, I'm glad to hear it

I left from international district so I guess I was on the American servers during that time. Thanks for the reply!

I really really hope that this was not any preparation to move GW Euro servers/datacenter to other location. After movement of US servers they are so crappy now.

aspi · Sep 29, 2010, 04:29 PM // 16:29

I hope this will solve my terrible ping problem. Thanks.

Highlander Of Alba · Sep 29, 2010, 05:36 PM // 17:36

Well never had lagg for a very long time but,

Since 6p.m GMT have had nothing but rubberbanding, freeze, 007

this has even been on INT/ AM /EURO

AS from Scotland and part of the euro fix?? this has made matters a lot worse for myself.

Never had it so bad had to quit and hope that the fix / completed some time ago has prevented any log on on any account due to the probs above.

MArcSinus · Sep 29, 2010, 10:18 PM // 22:18

Thnx for letting us know, saved me a deathlevel session.

Fluffy Kittens · Sep 30, 2010, 10:58 AM // 10:58

Still having huge lags, never had any problem before this maintenance. They probably changed server so only german people don't have problems but everyone else has.

Dark-NighT · Sep 30, 2010, 02:11 PM // 14:11

Going to test it now, but thanks for the work anyway, it really needed some optimizing.

Mintha Syl · Sep 30, 2010, 05:54 PM // 17:54

I'm having some lag, but I don't know if it depends from server changes (I don't think maintenance could change anything in bad???) cause I had it at times in the last few days. I hope it's just a temporary issue

Leek · Sep 30, 2010, 06:26 PM // 18:26

Looks like international districts and UK players are F'd right now. I've had three UK'ers err7 out of PvP matches in the last 10 mins.

Hopefully, this gets fixed soon.

Although, we did just load against some euros and only one of them made it in, which was nice.

Dark-NighT · Sep 30, 2010, 08:17 PM // 20:17

So far i didnt notice any lag at all, traveling seems to go just a bit quicker as well, however some UK players in our guild have trouble staying connected.

Fluffy Kittens · Oct 04, 2010, 08:19 AM // 08:19

Ok its quite bad these days.. gettin lags and errors for no reasons (I'm from croatia)
