When will the maintenance window start/expected end on Friday?

Thanks

And better to get it out stable then spend 2 days buggy; that is it's better to let us play 2 days as-is, then fight with the new patch onlive until Friday anyway.

I actually like that it is postponed, better this way. Was quite buggy and extremely laggy on the test servers.

Not that I wish to make excuses for the lag, but for the right mind, please do note that the entire cluster was running on a single server with a single uplink (that's 24 zones). Obviously it'll be spread out to several boxes and connections as soon as it hits live.

Sounds comforting, though I have no idea what you just said xD

Yay! Great for us who play with really crappy systems, at least the test server was a lot smoother and looked better at lowest possible settings than the "normal" server. Great difference in general, hopefully it also gives a boost in bigger battles when my comp goes from frames per second to frames per minute

Unfortunate but very necessary with the many missing models and minor bugs. Glad it will actually be pushed back slightly.

Oldest player still in the game. Perpetuum for life.

Devs correct me if im wrong

Chris on the liver server each island is its own server with multiple uplinks on the test server they used only one server with one uplink meaning all data comeing from the server to clients was getting bottled up because we were all in the same area, especially when we did the invasion test. 30 clients pinging the server saying here I am tell the other 29 clients where I am. server is said yeah no problem.... uplink said oh *** thats alot of information to fit threw this little wire. Not to mention the one server was running the great fortess with all its turrets and all the other POS's.

TL:DR on test server 1 server for all things, on live server each island gets its own server AFAIK.

Khader, I believe currently it's like 3 islands to a server.

Mild numeric inaccuracies and loose interpretation aside, this is mostly correct.

Like saying a few mongols spent an afternoon talking with neighbors in Asia a few years ago?

It wasn't me.. just saying, in case rumors start ...
