Scheduled Maintenance: 12 Sep 2023

I would like to insist that I would love it if when this type of maintenance is done we had someone updating an indicator of the status of the process, something like:

I don't know what system is used AWS, Azure or other but it is EA's responsibility to make those decisions not EE's.

The maintenance was not a game update in any way, it was work on the physical hardware. It wasn't EE's decision when or their responsibility to carry it out. The servers themselves are located in the UK, or were when I was last told.

only the clown devs at envision think its ok to take a game down for a whole day to do some maintenance, twice in 2 weeks.

No imagination whatsoever on how to go about it in a better way.

hmm 10mins past the supposed restart, hope they fed the hamster :)

we will come back to paused game when I usually expect cp/rt after 12 hours. Once again this clown Kayln thinks this is ok.

give us some cp/rt packages.

Let's see, the indicated time must be an estimate.

If the different processes they have had to carry out, which we do not know if they are hardware, software or both, have been delayed over time, it will take a little longer for them to be available again.

And yes, it would be a great detail to give us a gift from the game during these offline times.

the indicator would be great , but i doubt we would get it , and yes i too would like to see some sort of compensation / gift for the interruption of the game , if you are fighting a war and have a planned attack which requires your base to be back to full rt , cp and move timer to have run out, these stoppages are a real pain on planning.
it may a small thing in the eyes of those not involved with playing the game , but it can be for those that do.

just putting it out there :)

Is there any news on how the process is going, 70, 80 or 90%?

Thanks @EE_kalyn

It is scheduled to finish at 18:00 UTC - so that makes it not there yet. Another hour to go to reach that time.

If it needs to be extended, then it will be after that - it's not server time as that is often European central time which at present is UTC+2 I believe.

As for compensation, this has been planned for quite some time and players were given plenty of warning about it so should have planned accordingly as I'm sure some will have. It's highly unlikely compensation will be given.

I'm starting to think that the developers have gone to see the new Apple product presentation and have forgotten to start the game.

And yes, german developers and me are in UTC+2 but now are 19:32. :-(

i saw a little activity , so looks like they haven't gone home. 15 mins left on window.
