Also, I'll be watching this thread for a few more hours tonight should you guys spot anything odd or encounter any issues. This should not be the case but we want to ensure no problem arise.

Thanks all for your time and patience this evening and have a great night!

If we see the Slasher wearing Hello Kitty Underpants at server up, we will know where they came from!

The Evil Hello Kitty underpants are safe! They survived the update, for a moment there I thought I'd have to get a group together and wrestle them back from the Slasher - whew!

OMG they cut funding so bad we lost the EC! JK i know you guys were hard at work tonight making updates to the backend, but you broke the front end and now we cant play. No use in DL the 2d would take forever to reset macros. Just keep us posted on your estimated fix for the EC please!

Actually I use the EC .. it's probably a server config file mixup, and we'll have it resolved as soon as we can.

Hey all,

We will be working to resolve the EC issues in the morning, at this time please use the Classic client. I am updating the Herald now to reflect this and will update again once the issue is resolved.

Best,
"at this time please use the Classic client." hmm..... how about NOoooo. I would rather try to eat soup with chopsticks.

To be fair Galen, we DID have warning and they are providing updates. Better to have spent this (soon to be past) evening engaged in a different activity (another game, movie, house work, etc etc etc) and give them time to get this migration done CORRECTLY instead of rushing it and logging into a gameplay and customer service NIGHTMARE.

EDIT: And of course the shards came up while I was posting this :p
To be fair, Dermott, my post was not in any way about the shards being down, or about it taking too long.

What? Considering that everything about the UI, from macros to screen resolution, has to be manually setup for each installation of each client, simply saying "Oh use the classic client for now" is not a viable option. And this isn't going to be looked at until morning? Seriously?

Wow. They just totally disregarded the EC.

Well, that pisses me off. I don't have time to download the classic client tonight. I thought EC was the "main" client?

Guess what, I won't have time to touch UO until Thursday night. So if I lose anything (plants growing, vendors, etc.) I WILL be cancelling my account and I WILL demand my money back. You shouldn't be forced to have BOTH clients.

Hmm and now I see James' post about waiting until morning is gone, and the Herald announcement has been changed to "currently investigating". Does this mean the issue might yet be fixed tonight? (Probably about the time I am 98% finished with the classic client download...) Or does this mean it will still be morning but you're just not saying so...

Correct, immediately after I updated that information it was decided to continue the investigation this evening. So apologies for the misinformation, but it was for a good reason :)

There's no guarantee it will be fixed before the AM, however, they are working on it.

Thanks,

Well I just recently came back to UO here in the last week or so. I wont say I would go to that extreme. However, I do no like the 2d client at all anymore I wont play UO on it. With that being said if this is an example of how the EC gets treated.... well lets just say I might loose interest before its time for next months sub again.

I understand. Thanks for the update. And, uh, a long flu-infested week has left me in a really crappy mood (pun fully intended) which is where my crabbiness comes from--I apologize for directing that crabbiness your way.

Imagine how those of us who preferred UOKR felt when they completely pulled the plug on that!

I find it very interesting so see people who have used the EC do not want to go back to the CC Client. This is exactly how I felt after using UOKR.

I think it's a good thing and I'm glad to see more people are becoming open to something besides the CC Client.

UOKR>EC Client>CC Cllient.

If we could get the option for UOKR Graphics or higher resolution then the EC would be a good thing. It's more stable and has some nice feature but from a visual standpoint it's a huge stepbackwards from UOKR.

Anyhow...Gettin' a kick out of people gettin' irate over the lack of love for the EC. I'm with ya....but just think how us fans of UOKR felt.

If UOKR was still available...I'd be using that client.:popcorn:

Re: [UO Herald] Scheduled Maintenance 7/13/10 - All Shards

In Europa 2 pm is about 6.30 pm.
This means that there is an entire day of non-playing because the most people have been playing in the afternoon and evening hours. It's not right. The maintenance, also if it is a special maintenance, have to be made in other hours, early hours.
Iìm very angry. This is a very injustice
You do understand that if the hours change, someone ELSE is just affected instead of YOU. It doesn't change to where no one is affected. Besides. It's only a day, not the end of the world. Unless the intern hits the delete button too many times... :D
