I can't believe Sony would bring down the servers on a Friday night. They claim a "brief" downtime? Yeah right. I've seen this before with EQ1 and a couple of weeks ago with EQ2 when it was down for a day or so. Brief downtime 9 hours later!!! I JUST WANNA PLAY!!!!!!
Too much downtown for this POS. Friggin bring down the server every friggin day at 10am is not enough?? WTF... and now what? unexpected down time too?? + scheduled maintenance?? Friggin bullsh1t.
It least for you the daily downtime is at 10am. A time when you should be working/schooling or sleeping on weekend. But for me, who normaly sleep at about 2am. The daily downtime is at 11pm, which is the best time for long hour gaming.
I did not experience any unscheduled downtime, but I only played from 7/8pm to 11pm (GMT+8).
Anyone know which servers downtime is at around 4am to 10am (GMT+8) so that I can play longer on weekend nights. Still new so I can affort to start anew.
Oh and to answer the above question. Yes there is a usual downtime with everquest.. both of them. They have to do server maintenance every day. Normall it happens at like.. 5 am. But for some reason they're doing it at 9 am. Blah.
I'm actually adapting to the daily downtime well. It usually doesn't last too long so I'm cool with it. I just wish there was some special in game sound for system wide messages... sometimes I miss them.
