Chessy downtime/crashes lately

[LowdownandShifty]

I've noticed Chessy has been going down between 6:30 and 9:30 (Eastern time) for the past few days. Anyone else noticing this? Two days ago it went down at 6:40 and lost about 30min of in-game time. It's down right now for me. Anyone else notice this?

Shards go down every morning for daily maintenance or they use to anyways. Chessy use to go down somewhere between 6:45 and 7:00 est. It's possible that it is going down a little bit later. It usually lasts 15-20 minutes.

Negative. The shard went down at about 6:00am for 10 mins of regular maintenance. Then went down at 7:19am before coming back up at 7:46.

Also, scheduled down-times are proceeded with a "The server is going down shortly" message. The ones that have been occurring later give no warning. Furthermore, the daily maintenance resets the server (e.g. champ spawns are deactivated), whereas these crashes simply revert to an earlier time (i.e. champ spawns that were active at downtime are still active upon login).

Don't know what to tell ya, maybe something with the connection/hops from you to the server. Yesterday I was up from server up until well after you posted that server was down and I was never kicked from the server.

I was not on this morning so I cannot comment on server availability this morning. Regardless of reason, I know it sucks to be booted and having to wait to get back on.

Does anyone know how to check hop status to Chesapeake?

I thought it was weird because I could connect to any other server, but not the one I frequent

I saw what you were talking about today. At 9:22 I got a disconnect notice and when I tried to log back in, Chessy was not there but I could log onto other shards. I did not notice a warning prior to it though there may have been one. I tried to log in again 10 minutes later and it was still down. I do not know when it came back up because I went and did a couple of other things but when I logged back in, I had appeared where I was 5 minutes before the server went down so there must have been some type of save before they took it down.

I noticed it pretty consistently for several weeks. I nearly expect it now. Is there someone we should notify on the dev team?
