Hi Famine,
I must admit that I noticed more than the added delay the sig:
Glen 'Soulwish/Famine' Swan
Senior Assistant Community Manager
“Conveying player feedback and communication between the developers and the community”
There has been a notable lack of communication from the devs after the recent nerfs. Is there something you could do from your position to correct that please?
wow... midnight est now
LOL great job FC, though i must at least give credit for prompt updates in the downtime thread.

Downtime during downtime added to downtime while waiting through downtime.
Can anyone else hear Means laughing from the distance while playing his magic horse MMO? Those 4 year olds are too young to bitch about downtimes.

Well the latest downtime has extended a lot.
I suggest that as a bit of a restoration of goodwill in the community Funcom do the following:
1. Revert the latest change in xp/sk from quests.
2. Fix s10 so that ICE drops, bounties drop sometimes and relays drop more often (the s10 nerf caused heavy inflation in case that went unnoticed).
3. Give 10 instalvl tokens to all those kind enough to post on the forum while being so patient.
4. Give all the FC staff who have been working for what must have been a horrendous 16 hour day a day off to recover and a bonus.
the downtime is just an FC ploy to get the forum posting numbers up...been pretty quiet around here lately.
Utopia

Fam's too disciplined to respond to that, it will be Lind's call on what gets said I would think.
Regardless of who is to blame, the AO staff are the ones that get to do damage control.
Can we expect some uptime event like giant Koala bears storming Bor /s OI OI OI OI and dropping Angus Young outfits and koala bear social weapons? Probably not. I'd be happy w/ being able to logon.
Improved list
1. Free 10 stack of premium xp stims
2. Bounties and ICE from bosses only
3. Um no.
4. No issues with the original #4, except maybe EXTEND THEIR WORK DOWNTIME TO 2 DAYS!

I'd just be happy if they were honest and upfront with us (not claiming they are lying now, as I have no real reason to suspect so). The recent ninja nerfs, and half truths have left quite a bad taste in a lot of people's mouths. It would be nice for them to just be upfront with us, so then we would at least know what we were in for.

My Story
Don't feed the Mensa Tralalalala
Everyday I'm Shuffling.
I hate ninja nerfs too. I hate undocumented nerfs even more. Its okay if you don't announce it, but after the fact you should list it publicly. It is like saying it was beneath them to acknowledge there was a problem.
Sounds like something Vhab would do, create an 'Undocumented Nerf's Compendium.'
Isn't it past 12pm gmt?

you did not read the update, they added another 5 hours... lol
"The maintenance downtime has to be extended by 5 hours. This is due to some uncontrollable complications that cropped up during the downtime. We sincerely apologize for this extended delay and we are working with our external hosting partners to get things back up as soon as possible.
The new uptime for the servers is set at Midnight EST / 5am GMT."

Well, I'm speechless, but not hand-cuffed.
I guess I'm used to long waits. I am a Robert Jordan (and somewhat Brandon Sanderson) fan afterall. ><
Silly me checking the login screen to check for updates.
