Under Maintenance?!

[Raymac]

I'm so freaking pathetic. This kind of crap gets my hope up for something cool even though I know it is just routine.

Probably primary reason is moving/splitting infrastructure fore the Pro7 stuff - they wouldn't take the financial stuff down otherwise (no company wants to stop accepting payments unless there's a really important reason for it).

But as a side effect, we may see a beta announcement soon.

But the Pro7 stuff will be based in Europe.

I think the point is that, presumably, Pro7 doesn't want beta to begin until they've set up whatever system they'll have going forward to divide Pro7 and SOE's first party infrastructures.

Because otherwise, you get everybody playing beta on SOE's servers, making friends, and then the game releases and nobody wants to switch to Pro7's servers and breaking off the connections they'd made in beta.

Also, you want to get Pro7 in on the patching and support process in beta, too.

So, yeah. Pro7 will be based in Europe, but you want to have them set up before you do beta at all.

Yeah, that's why they need to bring down the transaction servers so they can set it up in Europe.

Hmm, first of all they need to create the infrastructure in Europland. I haven't heard whether they've even chosen the location.

The rest is just a data export amd import.

Just wanted to pop in and help set expectations. Unfortunately this is just SOE wide network maintenance to improve our infrastructure. The website is down along with our forums, logins, etc...

You spend too much time reading these forums.

So this week's theme is Maintenance week! They're putting up profiles of all the network and facility techs each day, but unfortunately we can't see them because the site is under maintenance.

I trust Bazil in this statement. This couldn't be wrong. It better not be wrong.
