Site down for early morning maintenance

[Kat Sheffield]

Pirates went down for maintenance at the usual 3:15am last night. One thing that I am hoping is that my pirate who got "stuck" after the boss battle crashed will be "unstuck" - I was told that it takes a server restart to fix this, and sometimes it can be days. Otherwise, my pirate is showing up as 'Already Online' and I can't get on that one and play. But more than that, I'm hoping that whatever they did was to work on the issues that are keeping so many of our friends from being able to jump on the game and play. Has anyone noticed any improvements in the game play? No longer crashing when going into the High Seas? Cutting down on the choppiness and lag? TPing to someone no longer takes 10 minutes? Weapons no longer getting stuck? I want good news here! I miss my guildies who haven't been able to play since the update came along and messed things up for them.
