Thank you for the heads up. This lead in time will be valuable to players and alliances that use their brains. I was a bit upset about having to wait more...but I thought about, so now...thanks. ------------- |

Thanks for the heads up ... I'll take this opportunity to mention that the lag, non-responsiveness to clicks, hangs on commands, and dropped chat text issues that I experienced for several months during the spring - which were then fixed - have reappeared following the chat disconnect incident of several days ago.

CANNOT WAIT. Trade v2 brings more depth, thought, and choice into aspects of the game that, unlike military and diplomacy, do not require direct PvP to enjoy. Not bashing those aspects, just saying it will be nice to be able to dive into a more developed aspect of the game without fear of getting razed to the ground! By the way, could someone convert the downtime to EST? I'm not sure what "server time" means exactly. ------------- http://elgea.illyriad.co.uk/a/p/157483" rel="nofollow">

Ya'll are forgetting a major part! Sure update is close but then you got 4 hours research and then 8 hours to do the skinning/mining/herbing. :P So add 12 hours ontop of all that before you really get going. ------------- Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands, so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so you will not be dependent on anybody. |

I'd like to remind everyone I've spoken to over the last few days exactly what I said... and to those I haven't GM Luna said SHOULD take now more than and hour NOT will DEFINATELY NOT take more than an hour.... Remember Illy teaches us patience... If you can't remember that remember the games we're all probably refugees from!!! Wanna go back there? NO? Didn't think so... Take deep breathes....

We're experiencing a little issue (probably related to the, as ever, beautifully documented Microsoft server patch) getting the cache controllers restarted. TC is working diligently on it, and please bear with us a while longer. SC
