Now please, if you already have the update sod off for the rest of us :D
Huh you made me blush now (and I'm a man damned!). I guess I need to be more careful with my whines that there aren't new ArtAsset files in the future.Quote:

BUT PLEASE AT LEAST INFORM PEOPLE!
This "maintenance" day that turned into a patch day has been a farce from the begining. No times were mentioned until very late. And there has been no official information as to the length of the downtime.
If people knew from the start that the downtime would be (example) Monday 3am to Tuesday 3am - then all would be happy and we would not have this farce on the forums / twitter with people asking every 2 seconds the same question. When are the servers backup ? Why can´t i connect? Why am i stuck at examine programs? etc....
Information makes the world go round - use it!
When will you @Turbine finally inform ALL players via Launcher that the Game is offline? Please DO! We will never be able to patch because some dumb nut already patched can't understand a single thing. Please INFORM everyone!Quote:

There is NO issue, people are waiting in line to get into the game. The line moves at a certain pace. It is like getting on the new ride at an amusement park, either you get in line and wait with everybody else, or you decide to try again later. Perhaps you get lucky and hop in line when everybody else is getting a bite to eat or something. But the point is, there is nothing for Turbine to fix. It doesn't matter if they have people tweeting about their contest because what would those people do? Stand there and look at the server and say "Yup, it's a Server".
So let me reiterate... There is nothing that needs to be fixed other than learning a bit of patience.
However, until the game servers do come up, many of the people that already patched will try to log in, see the servers are down, and restart their client. Others will restart their client to check that everything was updated. And both groups will add to the load.Quote:

The question was whether there is limit to no of concurrent connections available. Theorytically stack is infinite but practically its limited by the physical m/y available . So the "Not in such specific terms no" is not right. I would say yes there is limit to number of request which can handled by a server or server farm and it depends on the number of factor.Quote:

This seems rather like a huge headache... I miss the way this was done with Moria and having a client update able to be downloaded days in advance of the expansion going live.
Still can't connect.
This is an absolute nightmare, and if the answer is "be patient", I'm not reassured at all, because more people will be joining the queue as the day goes on, since many in the US are not home from work yet.
By far the worst launch day in the history of LOTRO, as far as I can remember.

I found it helpful to listen to http://youtu.be/LoF_a0-7xVQ whilst i was reading this.
As someone who preordered on the first day it came out, I can tell you that is most definitely not the case. I've been trying on two computers for almost 2 hours and I still have yet to patch.Quote:

Thanks!Quote:

Im not saying its solvable, but, for us in the EU area it is getting quite important with information about times, as you say morning, we have nothing to relate to. Its better you say a time span, then we can relate to it and can avoid sitting at the computer as irritated muppets :)Quote:

I know lots of people don't know much about computers, so here's the issue - you keep hearing about the patch server 'load', right? Now, look up 'load' in a dictionary and you'll clearly see it refers to a weight or mass that is being supported.
So, think about your player characters for a moment. Do you have a lithe elf character? If so, chances are you patched quickly, since they don't add much weight to the server.
"Ooh!", I hear you exclaim, "I have a hobbit! They're tiny! I'll patch soon!". Not so fast, bub. Since when does a hobbit do anything without bringing enough food along for a small army? Sure, sure.. your hobbit might not be confused for an elephant, but with that slack of double breakfasts, snacks and several late day meals in his pack, you're going to be waiting a looong while.
Oh, and don't you dwarves get excited and start yelling, "Bharuk Khazad!" just yet. Yes, you're somewhat tiny, too, but c'mon, what self-respecting dwarf doesn't lug an axe the size of a mule across his back? Pfft. Maybe we can melt that axe down and turn it into another server and THEN you'd have a chance.
And Men? Yeah, you guys add a lot of load, partly because of your weight and, if these forums are anything to go by, partly because of your whining. Yes, yes.. carbon dioxide doesn't way much, but neither does a snowflake, yet get enough of them on a branch and *CRACK!*.. it breaks. And, trust me, there's heaps of whining going on, and all that CO2 ... well, it's just suffocating. I know, I know - you guys have those short life spans and all, right? But guess what? A few hours ain't that big a thang, friends.
So, all of you log off so I can patch. :-)
On a more serious note, once patched, I hereby pledge to shut down my launcher and let some other lucky person get in the queue.
I've heard that only people with Elebrandir's Horseshoe equipped when they logged out can patch now.
When will the rest of us be allowed to patch?
:cool:
It would have been good to have a sort of check...if patched disconnect from PATCH server to free up queue!
