Type of Maintenance - Notice on website

[titanic95594]

Well, most of the time they don't know when they will have to do maintenance. Do you know when to repair a problem when there is not a problem with it? Same with that. They just don't know when. And the shutdown for adding new content to the game still should be a surprise, who would like to spoil and put players on the edge of their seats when it comes?

A) All they would be saying is game content is coming in today's update. Besides, it wouldn't be that much of a surprise because it comes out on test, and they don't need to do this notice for the test site.

B) To let some players know why the game servers are suddenly offline during the weekend or they randomly got kicked off. So they would post a notice saying the game is under Emergency Maintainance, bug fix patch included or none.

I think everyone should be informed because it's such an easy notice to type up. The release notes would be posted after the game received the update, to save time.

I think it is possible. On another game, the game tells you when they are going to do a maintainence, or update. If they're fixing something, the game just takes it out and give us a heads up about whats happening.

POTCO has been releasing the sneak peak things, and the game news on the side of your POTCO log in screen tells you what just got released, so not much of a surprise really..... lol
