Server Patches and Emerald Halls

[pedigr]

Come on SoE, this is the [insert high number here]th week that youve shut the servers down on Monday morning for, Im guessing, some stupid patch, like "some lvl 1 named isnt dropping loot in "Queens Colony" Lots of guilds *DONT* clear Emerald Halls in 4 hours and need a day or two and most of them are family guilds, cant sit up until 4am every week night and spend time in the weekend doing it instead. Along comes Monday, and we get kicked out, with lockout timers, again as we sit at the start of the third floor. How about not shutting the servers down every other day for some mindless patch but instead wait into Thursday or something. If you insist of creating high end raid content that takes days (like the interview with 2nd dawn who took four and frankly, Im suprised they found four days of server uptime), then give us the time window to do it. and for all the wine/cheese ppl out there -> /dev/nul

<p>Although I can understand your frustration, perhaps it might be a good idea to begin your EH raids on Friday night?</p><p>I think it's pretty well known that the servers are down every weekday morning.</p>

While I agree that downtime sucks when it comes to EH, I don't see SOE stopping patches anytime soon.  As was mentioned, perhaps you could try zoning in on Friday?  Aside from server crashes or surprise downtimes occasionally that's an almost guaranteed 3 days with EH. The best you can really do is cope with it, eventually you'll start clearing the zone faster and faster.
