Unscheduled Server Maintenance

Oh I just realised what this is probably about. Earlier I glanced over and noticed a marquee about something going on with all channels below 10. It said something like "try and use channels 10 and higher."

Anyone else notice it?

In Khaini, yeah. It only showed up for 30 minutes though.

In Bello also, i thought they just got tired of it :S

In Deme as well... Probably due to volumes of people swarming into the top channels like usual. But curious that they would put a notice about it. Might be a problem with the servers, hence why they are fixing them.

I sent a ticket asking if there would be a Rollback for hacked chars and they said there was no rollback planned for this server check. FML.

Update: The unscheduled server maintenance has concluded early and the game is now open. Thank You

Does anyone know how early it opened? =/

About 2:10AM PDT.

I think it would be more fun say if they brought down only half of the chs to SC and then vise-versa.

Most SC's aren't about the individual channels - They're so all players are offline so they can do things like world transfers and name changes, and disk cleanup and database optimization. All things they can't do while the players are actively accessing their files.

For the ones that are about the channels, it's just easier to take everything down together and bring it back up together, that way you don't have to take anything back down if you discover further complications and have to restart. It also ensures noone gets lost on which ones are done vs which ones still need doing.

I see what you're getting at, I was thinking of Nexon ever wanted to do a "continuous service" thing. Then again, I do realise the risks involved in having characters online (altering the tables) while modifying them XD. But hey, can do to CS checks without bringing down the game :S.

CS is a separate server from the rest of the worlds & channels - When it's down you can't get into it and nothing done "in game" can modify it.

They could do rolling blackouts for some server functions, but it would really just piss players off even more than doing them all at once, because you'd be forced to keep CCing upwards/downwards/whatever to avoid the next channel reboot.

Still no monster book compensation so its in the next one?
