kevinmd88 1 Report post Posted August 15, 2017 Every time you guys take a realm down for maintenance, chats become overrun with people asking how long it will take, whether Elysium's being taken down for good, lots of trolls, etc. Totally understanding nothing can be done about what people say, but as for the first one there (people asking how long it will take), please begin answering that question in the system-message broadcast. Whether it's an actual estimate of how much downtime to expect, or simply stating that it will take as long as it takes and you won't estimate it - either would be good because people who ask that particular question are generally sincere. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining about the need for the maintenance itself. In fact, I'm extremely happy to see things are being taken care of. I'm a systems administrator myself, I get it. My only suggestion here is to address that particular detail. Thank you, and you Elysium folks rock. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted August 16, 2017 It really doesn't matter, it'll go back up when the system/dev teams are finished with their work during the downtime. Giving an estimate just pins them to a time crunch they don't really need when it's obvious that displacing thousand of people at once is going to ruffle feathers until they open the realm back up again. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
