Hopefully they should be posted shortly.. Haven't been able to log in to forums all morning, so I would guess blue-names couldn't either.

Keeping my fingers crossed.

After 4 hrs since downtime started I bet a lot of people are asking the same question. What I am curious about is ..... why does a 'hotfix' take 6 hrs in the first place? hehe

I would think the time is needed to test out the hotfix before it goes live, to make sure something didn't get worse? More often than not, they have been getting hotfixes and updates done sooner than anticipated. Staying optimistic this morning!

hi how long till 12? i mean how much of maint left?

[Astarti]

hotfix is the new word for update so patience and the cup of coffee is the answer to ur question

[Arbornal]

2 hours from now. Forum time right now is 3:00 pm, so by 5:00 pm forum time.

Hotfix =/= Update

My response was tongue-in-cheek, I was referring to the relation between the term "HOTfix" and the 6 hr downtime required. Isn't that more like a "LUKEWARMfix" or "ROOMTEMPERATUREfix"?

I have nothing but kudos for the tech team, but sometimes the downtime required for what eventually turns out to be trivial changes is quite extensive. A lot of rumors fly around as to why it takes so long but perhaps a lil Official explanation from the devs would help to sooth peoples nerves while they suffer from LOTRO withdrawal?

Jus' sayin'

Just like you guys, I had to wait for the maintenance to reach a certain point so I could login and post them, which I am going to do right now.

Just for technicality purposes, my pc time is not forum time. You can see forum time at the very bottom of the page.

Wow, thanks! I don't think I ever saw that option before on the forums. I have now changed it to my pc time.

Thanks again!

Since the Team is aware that the server will be brought down at a specific time, maybe post the release/hotfix notes 2 minutes before that happens?

BTW, The posted performance fixes for MT area are GREATLY appreciated, as is the floor tile fix for DA!

Yeah except that sometimes things don't work the way they should and then - last-minute - they're not being released. They'd be on the release notes but not in the game. Imagine the flaming here... Oh and what good are release-notes in a forum that's down for maintenance?

However I wonder why it's so important. You can't even check if this stuff's really working, as long as the game's down. These notes could be posted the minute we can log in again if it was for me...

And I don't understand the flaming on downtimes anyways. I don't think they'd take the game down and then go for a 6hour-coffee-break. This game is still the income of our devs, they won't take it offline for no reason and keep it down longer than necessary.

This was also a maintenance window for our entire WB Games back end including the Account sites which is why all websites were down as well as games.

"We have made additional updates to Minas Tirith and the Pelennor Fields to improve performance."

Looks like there is.

Again they go passed the time they posted. 6-12 should have been enought time to do all they wanted. Remember, Measure twice cut once is good way of doing things.
