Extended maintenance does not necessarily mean a patch though, just could be a quick defrag and go. Yes, I said defrag. This is DBG after all.
 
Those server gerbils need a break sometime too!

Sic and CWTN might take longer to release because of the A holes

I'm excited for them, but sad cause I am not sure I can afford all 4, me and my first world probs :P
Whenever they come out, I'm happy for the taste and to know that they are being improved than what we got to use. The knuckleheads that ruined it, are talking about such a waste of time, the plugins get improved all the time, get monthly fixes for EQ's game updates and are put together for only $20 for the YEAR...I can't see the time you take to try and reverse code or hack or whatever is the right term, to try and save that $20. $1.67 a month and the time is takes to do all that every month..hahahahaha c'mon. Anyways, I enjoy the work done and find I can focus more on having fun. 😊
 
I know DBG posted a take down time of 09:00 EDT / 06:00 PDT, but did they give an estimated duration? I tried to check the forums over there but didn’t see anything.
 
6 hours as durango said lilwizzie said they believe that dbg said is what has been said. some say
 
LoL at 'Please watch our Socials' ...you have a company website where it should be the very first place to find info about your business. They even state the website forums will be in in read only format.
 

EverQuest Official #announcements-and-news:

Global downtime is being extended 2 hours (to 2pm PT). We apologize for this inconvenience and will update via socials and Discord as soon as we have further news to share. Thank you for your patience.
 
They new I took a day off work today to play EQ and most of all not miss my guilds raid today. Pretty sure thr Chief doc called DB and told them am not making today and he will have to fill in on some of my procedures for today that could not be postponed.
 
Well at least the servers are now up but still locked. Maybe the 2 hour extension was an attempt to under promise and then over deliver.
 
The new TLP server shows an interesting twist in the timeline. As expansions are released, the server will transition from straight truebox, then to 3 accts per, and finally to no truebox. Perhaps an acknowledgement that running multiple toons is a way of life for many?
