    Server Patch and Maintenance

    Greetings! All Live dimensions will be taken down for patching and maintainance

    tomorrow (14/08) at 10am GMT. Estimated downtime is 5 hours."

    I dont know about you, but to me, this sounds good(apart from the 5 hours downtime, but I aint home during that period.)

    Could this bring good news?

    Cz, any comment on this?

    It's re-enabling the bank/tax system with some brand new no-exploit enhancements. That and deleting everyone's implants and taking out implant shops from the stores... thus we're all 50% OEd

    My guess and it can only be a guess until something official is said, would be that the servers are getting code in preperation for the booster pack / something big in the not too distant future.

    It is common practice to upload loads of new features, graphics, additional things to the server and then leave them "switched off" until a client patch unlocks them and gives you access to them.
    OSI were forever doing just that with UO, update the server code first and in some instances it was months before those new features were actually unlocked with a client patch.

    We can also hope that they maybe attempting to increase performance of the servers again.
    Then again, they may have encountered problems and have decided to retrieve a backup from a week ago

    the current agreement seems to be

    about the banking systems exploit fix.

    maybe also some log checking to catch them weasels who knows.

    i like the theory about uploading unlockable stuff as well but i will be surprised if the booster pack hits us THAT soon.

    my guess would be that it appears somewhere around the time ac2 and swg are released
