Test (and Test Copy) likely to have an extended downtime 4/9

[Glip_the_Gnome]

<p>Hey guys! So we're updating some stuff that's going to require some behind the scenes database maintenance and we're hoping to get it up on Test at some point tomorrow afternoon. Due to the maintenance Test will probably be down for a couple hours when we update, which is a little longer than usual. </p><p>I'll give more details as they are available tomorrow, but I just wanted to give everyone a quick heads up! <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

<p>Quick update: I'm currently hope to bring the server down around 5:00pm PST. This is pending a few things on our side though, so we may need to delay it -- but that is the current plan.</p>

<p>Looks like we're actually ahead of schedule. We're going to bring down the servers at 4:15 pacific time.</p>

Assuming this has something to do with the data base changes: Daily TS missions vanish from the journal when zoning. Purr~

<p>I was expecting the downtime today, even knew it would be this afternoon. But could you have atleast gave a 5 min warning on the Server.<img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> Was in the middle of a instance, even a 5 min warning would have let us get to a safe place.</p>

Sorry guys, but there was absolutely no system announcement of any kind. Client just sort of went away and eventually gave us a black screen.</p>

<p>Something isn't right in whatever was done.  I meant to do a /bug last night but forgot.  Broker transactions are taking forever, a /target Micki, /follow Micki hotkey was not responding, little stuff.  The follow hotkey I've used forever - it would do the target part fine but not the follow.   Zone to Vasty worked fine.   That's about all I noticed different so far.</p>

Seconding the borked Broker: Buying one stack of raws, waiting waiting waiting, falling asleep before I can buy the next 200. Message: "You have a consigment transaction in progress. Please try again." Please fix that, it's horrible! Purr~
