You can't make the game better if you don't try new things. Its the same thing as playing your character you'll never get better if you don't try some tricks to learn something new. The guys at Sony have a thankless job the bosses want money generating gadgets and we want our toons to handle and look like corvettes but cost like chevettes. I'm sure there will be problems and things I don't like as well as things I do but I'll login just like I always do and make the best of it because there just isn't anything else out there as big as this game. See yall in game later on

They are based in SD, so they aren't going to have people come in all hours of the night to patch the servers. Back in the day when they had 30+ servers, yea it was easy to have guys there 24/7.
I'm guessing this is Hero's Forge...

I'm guessing this is Hero's Forge, which means we not only deal with today's down time, but the inevitable emergency patches that will result from new crap implemented into the game. Top that off with a healthy dose of lag and new bugs resulting when new, half-tested stuff is put into the game, and we can likely expect lots of irritation over the course of the next few weeks.

I don't understand why they can't patch this stuff in the wee hours of the morning, say 3 AM Pacific, so the patches are done by the time early morning members are ready to play.

Cool. This isn't a patch. This has nothing at all to do with Everquest. Making things up is fun but makes you look stupid.

I'm guessing this is exactly what they say it is: Login server maintenance.

They used to do the patches at the wee hours. And they used to take alot longer.

It's only 9am Pacific, they've got another hour. Your game came down early?

Looks like servers aren't going down or going to be locked, just make sure you're logged in.
