Emergency Maintenance - February 26, 2011 [EverQuest II]
from ZAM News (full)
|
On Saturday, February 26, the Everfrost, Guk and Unrest servers will come down around 6:15pm PST for an emergency maintenance. The estimated downtime is one hour. We assume that it will address the daily crashes that Everfrost has been experiencing. UPDATE : Greg"Rothgar"Spence announced that the Guk and Unrest servers will also be affected by the Everfrost maintenance as well. Bonus Experience will be extended to end at 3pm PST on 2/27 for these three servers. Unfortunately we are experiencing a network issue that will not be resolved until the servers are brought down for maintenance. We tried to make it until tomorrow morning but the problems continue to occur so we are going to perform the maintenance in 30 minutes. ETA for the maintenance is 1 to 1.5 hours. The double XP for today has been extended until 3pm PST Sunday for Guk, Unrest and Everfrost. Sunday's hot zone promotion will still begin at 10am. We apologize for this short notice.
