From the State of the Network:
Wednesday April 7th, 8:30 AM - 1:00 PM PDT
Darktide, Harvestgain, Wintersebb, and Morningthaw are being taken down for unscheduled maintenance. They should be back up by or before 1PM PDT / 4PM EDT / 8PM GMT.
In light of yesterday's and today's unscheduled maintenance, we'd like to take a moment to explain what is going on. The good news is, we are currently working on moving the Asheron's Call databases to newer, faster servers. As we prepare the database servers for this transfer, we will sometimes need to take down the servers in order to keep our schedule, or decide that to prevent issues with the database, the best choice is to take the database down while we work. Yesterday and today's maintenance were issues of this type.
There may be other unscheduled downtimes in the future, but we plan to keep them during business hours, not during the prime playing hours. We'll also give plenty of warning in-game when we take down the servers, so players can log out in a safe spot.
We currently expect to complete the database transfer to faster servers by the May event.
