[quote=ox0Shad0w0xo]@iAndykins: Sigh, you guys are taking this too literal. I didn't literally mean 1-2 hours every time, just more than a 2-3 minute warning. Also understand that even when it's "unscheduled" it doesn't mean they don't have a plan in place for what they're going to do. That would be unorganized and they wouldn't have an approximate end-time in place if they didn't already know what they were doing before they got started. When they say "unscheduled" it's referring to the fact that it wasn't part of the planned down time(scheduled maintenance/game update) for that week.

The only time I'd say that they are truly in a position where they can't give any warning, is when they have no idea how long it's going to take in those extreme emergency cases like yesterday. In those cases, there's no end time because they took the game down as soon as they found out something was wrong and shut things down to prevent any further mayhem. In that instance they likely go in with little to no plan so they don't give much information until they finish or after it's been down for a while.[/quote]

js it was more than just 2-3 minutes.. more like 20?

[quote=ox0Shad0w0xo]@Samygxz85 Hm, okay, just assumed it wasn't there as usual haha. I actually wasn't in-game yet, still thinking of names.

@SmashFace I didn't mean to postpone it, but just to keep us informed on what they're about to do in a general sense. It gives us time to finish whatever we were doing in-game while they work on finding the best way to fix whatever problems there are before they actually get started.[/quote]

Again, it's an unscheduled maintenance. They can't always alert 1-2 hours ahead of time if it's something severe. It's unscheduled, it's unpredictable.

there's been worse maintenance schedules in the past.

@ox0Shad0w0xo: Maybe they need to take the game down immediately? If servers start crashing then they need to take the game down right away. They don't have time to wait 1-2 hours so they can alert everyone, if it needs to be fixed it needs to be fixed.

[quote=ox0Shad0w0xo]I actually agree with him. It's unscheduled sure, but they still plan out what they need to do during the maintenance. They could at least give an in-game notice maybe 1-2 hours ahead of time. Not hard to say okay we're going to start a maintenance soon instead of suddenly kicking everyone. They used to give in-game notices before every maintenance. Posting it on the site a few minutes before isn't much warning either since who constantly checks the site while playing lol.[/quote]

they did have an in game message, i came back after eating at 11.29 pst and saw the message maybe it was there just at that time but it was there

To the people saying she wants the game to be crap, no, she means she wants them to have the game working after each patch rather than having each patch be added in with game breaking glitches.

[quote=noykedem08]Legit, it's annoying. Too many maintenance checks in 2 days... Both unscheduled too, like at least give us a fair warning about them.[/quote]

Do you know what Unscheduled means?

Pretty sure she meant she doesn't have a kanna yet because Nexon didn't give free slots out this time.

[quote=FallenGhost]I hope they don't give us a crappy compensation ( if they do :o ) like a stupid char slot.. ._.[/quote]

I actually would like that because I plan to get a slot soon for Kanna (link skill) and it would save me $5.

Where do you get 3 days from? It's barely approaching 24 hours from the start time of yesterdays unscheduled maintenance. That's 2 maintenance's and a game update in less than a day. Although I was already expecting something to go wrong with our shiny new JMS content. So no big deal.

If they don't maintain the game there would be no game. It'd be nice if the would run smoothly after every patch but oh well.
