Hey everyone!

I know we've had a lot of planned midnight downtime recently, but it's Monday night and we have some maintenance that needs doing, including a resync of our database servers.

So we'll be taking the site offline around 1 am eastern time. I don't expect things will take very long, less than an hour hopefully.

Thank you for being patient with us! Having a regular time when we take the site offline and do maintenance helps us stay ahead of potential problems and makes necessary things like backups a lot more straightforward.

Don't say nobody gets on at midnight.....a lot of people in Central standard time use midnight as a starting time for new quests, autopricing, a start on recycling....etc. I work during the day, and the middle of the night is when I do by 'Betaing. But the site needs maintenance, and I guess LESS people are on at that time than other times. Just stinks cause three times in the last week I have tried to get online, and the site was down.

Like others have said, I've noticed the decrease in random Sql attacks since you guys have been doing the planned downtimes... and I love it!

Best of luck with tonight's maintenance, and thanks, as always, for keeping us so informed!

I agree with Chook, I think scheduled maintenance is a small price to pay for the AMAZING site performance we've been experiencing. GO ALX!
