I'm messing around on Yamato and just a minute or two ago needed to recall from the hedge maze back to the house and had the problem of not going anywhere after casting recall a few times. Just as I was deciding maybe I would need to walk/run to somewhere and log out, recall worked and I got home. However, I noticed that it's exactly the same part of the hour as yesterday when the same problem happened on Yamato, except for being a different hour in the day. This has happened now two times within less than day that you can't recall on Yamato shortly after the "top of the hour." So this happened just now on Yamato at shortly after 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time, i.e., at approximately 11:03 a.m. to 11:04 a.m.
Is there a connection? I wonder. It used to be, when we still had guild/faction info posted on the website, that it was updated several hours after shard maintenance. Perhaps that program is still running, although we don't see the results anywhere and is causing too much stress on the servers at certain times of the day.
Could we maybe start posting the times when we notice this oddity of "travel" spells not working at all or working, but with a noticeable delay between time of casting and time of "traveling"? Maybe there IS a pattern to when it's happening for each shard and it's connected to predictable but behind-the-scenes activities.
