Daybreak is a total joke. I have NEVER heard of a software company taking their systems down for maintenance for supposedly 36 hours which will turn into 60-72 hours. The only time companies take systems down for days is when they have been hacked. Ans since is there is no news of a hack, the only other option is a bunch of clueless morons who do NOT understand the words "test server" or "test your **** 1st and then release when it is working". Nut far too many players accept poor customer service as the gold standard and as long as EQ does not shut down for good, then all is well.
If everybody would cancel their subs for 1 month, then maybe they would get the hint and not continue to treat us like **** and just take our money. But people are too afraid to do that and will just continue to accept updates that take twice as long as stated, poor customer service, more bugs with every update, etc.
Daybreak Systems Maintenance - April 20,2021
Daybreak Systems Undergoing Maintenance
Hello,
On 4/20 at 12 AM PDT we will be starting a 36 hour maintenance period on some of our internal systems. We have a large migration maintenance of our backend which will impact all game services. During this timeframe all servers will be shut down until the work is concluded. This maintenance is affecting all Daybreak titles. We'd like to thank you in advance for your patience.
The downtime includes time to do our regularly monthly update as soon as the gamewide Daybreak Maintenance is complete.
