Maintenance Notification – February 6, 2012
St??phane Lo Presti
We are conducting planned server maintenance on Monday, February 6, 2012. The maintenance will start at 9:00 PM PST (5:00 AM GMT Tuesday, February 7, 2012) and will last about 4 hours. Players may get disconnected and be unable to log in during the maintenance window. Please see the Guild Wars Support Forums if you have any questions. Thank you for your understanding!

Let the speculations about WoC part 3 coming next week commence!

Tbh i had some issues during last week. Prolly not related, but hope that if is something due to servers will get fixed.
Or yeah, 3rd part of WoC could be near(which makes sense considering how close is GW2).

Server downgrade time....
Lordkrall
Why would they downgrade servers when they will have a quite big influx of players with the final part of WoC? That would be quite stupid, wouldnt it?
Swingline
If its a server downgrade I would like to know which individual at Anet to direct my hate mail to please.
Xsiriss
Seeing as they haven't even put out the second part of the ele update, WoC is probably not on their mind.
BuD
Probably another friends list disconnecting bug fix.

My rl birthday is on Feb. the 6th, do I get a sweetroll from Anet or an arrow to the knee? 
Gill Halendt
I doubt they'll need to do maintenance in order to release WoC Part III...

I'm constantly amazed at how reliable GW is as a game. This is like only the 9th time in 7 years we've had any such thing and if you read the note it says you may get disconnections not we're taking the whole game down.
Now compare this to SWTOR who not only takes the entire game down every week for 6 hours, it also takes out the official forums.
The way GW1 handles 'servers' with updates, patches and even infrastructure changes really is the best in the business.

We shall see.

lmao, servers every once in awhile just need to flush the system. One person makes a joke and people take it to heart.

Well, I just got the "Guild Wars is shutting down now. Wish us luck, and if we don't return, remember us fondly"-type message.
I wonder how many people are currently running around Kamadan/LA panicing...

Are these still ongoing?
My guildwars browser looks weird, no notifications on the right, and there's an abnormally large gap between the "Remember account name and security answer" and the "Create account or add key" is this because of the maintenance?
Oh, and when I try to log in, it says connecting for several seconds, the crashes and asks if I'd like to send a report to arenanet..

I was gonna report that , but cant. Yes still undergoing maint.
It hangs up if I click the X to close out of full screen mode ( windowed mode not affected ). If I input password and when the cancel box comes up, if I click cancel it crashed the game. However waiting for the cancel box to eventually return the err code = 058 you can click OK , then close the game without the AppHng or crash.

If that's the case (email and char name are the ones of your account) I suggest you to change at least one of them.

I just got another update today, but there's no update notes yet.
I don't like when updates are not documented... it gets me paranoid. Many Indie games do that on Steam all the time, and you can't help but wonder: "What has changed?"
It's not even in the support forums. I guess they are rather busy.

Why is my client downloading files? Wouldn't be nice of them if they actually let us know what the heck they're doing? I mean I could get all paranoid and pretend that anet went insane and started uploading viruses into my PC. XD

With large-scale betas for GW2 coming up and plans for new GW1 content being minimal, I would assume most undocumented updates are for one of two things.
1. Preloading content for the final part of WoC. Even if it's not ready yet, some model/texture assets could be done and ready to preload.
2. Preparation for migrating HoM/title status, character names, etc to GW2. This is something they probably want available in the beta tests to make sure there aren't any major issues on release day.
If I had to speculate on the recent change to the login screen mentioned earlier, I would say it's a space/placeholder for a yet to be added link. Perhaps to a site to register which character names you wish to reserve, some account linking info, or maybe even beta info/registration.
We might be months from a release date, but we're only weeks from what Anet said will be "many" of us getting a chance to play GW2. That would be a great time to stress-test the bridge between the two games and make sure it doesn't break when its biggest day comes around.

Observer mode is very broken.
a-kyle
so what was the big update? oh never mind
cosyfiep
the last update was probably to fix something from the maintenance that didnt get fixed right and since we dont know what the maintenance was about they arent going to tell us what the update to fix something from the maintenance was. (if you follow that).
that is my theory and I am sticking to it.
