There will be a short hotfix the morning of the 10th to turn on the Frostfell trees.

When is the hotfix planned for Thursday, Dec 10th? If you don't know a time now, could you post an approximate time when you find out?

Figure 8AM PST for approximately 1 hour.Should be less than that...all they are doing is flipping it on...no major DL's or what not.

It doesn't follow the pattern of other holiday events (automatically activated at 12:01AM on the go-live day without a patch) so it would be nice to know when we can get in there and play.

12-09-2009, 07:03 PM

Er... Hotfix for "frostfell tree"? So I guess Frostfell will be the 11th for EU? There's a down time from 2 to 6am PST already, will the hotfix be launched for all servers at the same time?

Kiara

12-09-2009, 07:54 PM

We're checking on the hotfix time. I'll be sure to let you all know just as soon as I know.

Is this ANOTHER hotfix besides that patch? *edit* Sorry, Kiara, apparently you and I were posting at about the same time. LOL! I would like to know if there are two separate things going on, though, as well as what time exactly we can expect Frostfell to be live?

The downtime from 2 to 6am is a company wide downtime to maintenance some technical thing or other that is totally over my head.Thus the question about hotfixinating as they will conflict.

is test server included in that "all server's hotfix"?

Ansek

12-09-2009, 10:05 PM

So, EU servers are coming down for the GU54 patch, then up for an hour then down for another 9hrs?

Kiara

12-09-2009, 10:17 PM

Unfortunately yes. Five hours of the downtime is for maintenance for all of SOE's systems and not related to EQII. We're hoping to bring the servers up before 10... but we think that's a safe estimate to get everyone properly tested and hotfixed.We'll update you with info as we get it.

Catria

12-09-2009, 10:47 PM

Personally I would almost rather the servers not come up until 10 whether they are ready earlier or not ... makes it easier to plan for those of us that like to go for discovery credits.

janmystique

12-09-2009, 11:20 PM

I suppose that 1am - 10am PST is not so bad - it allows time for a slow start to the day. If I translate that correctly in to GMT, (it is currently 2.15am here) I make that 9am - 6pm.

That's at least eight hours of downtime tomorrow. On top of the over two hours that we had today. Your operations folks could have planned these updates juuuuuust a bit better.

Catria

12-10-2009, 12:16 PM

This is PURELY SPECULATION on my part...I'm guessing that someone forgot to tell the server gnomes that it had been decided that the EQ2 servers should remain down until Frostfell was also patched in, so all the servers came back up after the maintenance. If this is the case, the EQ2 servers will likely come down again when the devs get to work and realize what happened and they will patch in Frostfell then. I don't see any official word anywhere that Frostfell has been pushed back to the 11th.

Hecula

I can verify that on Antonia Bayle server there was no Frostfell tree in Qeynos Harbor as of approximately 8AM PST even though the server was up. This flies in the face of what the schedule said, and I haven't seen any word from any SOE personnel about why the server was even up much less why there was no Frostfell.

I'm trying to find out what's going on with the EU servers and I'll post an update as soon as I have one.Please keep the snark out of this and be civil. No one is ignoring or forgetting about the EU servers.

So often, the European server updates are delayed. Today, the servers have been down from 5 am this morning - had a couple of hours with no Frostfell from 7 am till 9 am and then down most of the rest of the time. And, as I started this message, was still down. It is now 19.20.Without being in the least bit provocative or sarcastic, I would feel better were some explanation forthcoming.

Sorry if I happened to come off as snarky or contributed to that, was just trying to lighten the mood. I am not bright.I, like most people here, never read that folks are unhappy and have some obstacle to their being able to play and are happy about it.I do hope the EU servers are up and running soon. I don't think the devs or anyone else would want it any different.So...yes, I do know that Worldwide discoveries is not related to the electric slide.I would suggest, in the most innocent of snarkless language, to consider making a few toons on the US servers.This, unfortunately, doesn't seem like the first time folks have had issues come their way in the EU with servers and maintainence.I am not saying that as a solution, but at least while you wait next time...you could level up another toon on the US servers. Heck, maybe you'll like it./shrugWish you all the best btw. Robo

Euro players will stop being rude as you call it.. i see it different the minute you update the US servers during their prime time and then without information delay the downtime with a few hours.But i wanna bet you are afraid to do that.

Even tho you state otherwise, it seems obvious that the euro servers are again an afterthought, our money appears to be as good as anybody elses why don't we get the same service, instead of Soe's middle finger time after time after time

I honestly could care less about an explanation.I can tell you already what they are going to say:I am sorry but some stuff happened what we could not forsee but we are working on it right now.I could understand this if it was the first time it happened, but it is not the first time.In a proper company the responsible peoples would have been fired and replaced by compentent people a long time ago.JUST FIX IT AND MAKE SURE IT DOES NOT HAPPEN AGAIN!

How about locking the US servers, so that everyone is treated fairly and equally round here? Won't happen though as it's easier just to keep saying looking for more updates and hope we all go away. Hope that's polite enough for you, but it's becoming a standard thing round here lately. No LoN Tournaments; no EU distributor for your games, no 7 day head start if you don't want to pay over $70 (without any guarantee the game will arrive in time) and now no Frostfell before or at the same time as the US. Happy Frostfell, indeed!!!
