did it take you to a page that says you have to enter your game login or something? basically the way it's set up is they currently only let account holders view the forums.

when I first went there I just had to enter my account details (I think) and then later in the day they activated it for me

for now though, the thread says:

US Servers Downtime for Update - 27th of May, 10am GMT

The servers will come down for an update on 27th of May at 10 am GMT (06:00am EST/12:00 CET). The downtime is scheduled to last about 4 hours.

Update notes will follow during downtime.

They actually went down about 40 minutes early, there was a notice in-game saying 40 mins to go then bam the servers disappeared seconds later :(


Patch notes for this downtime are as follows:

General

* Grouped players that are apprenticed will now get their kill XP capped to the correct level.
* Characters should now always get zoned back from a PvP game
* Characters should now be able to move away from their spot, without the server thinking that they are hacking
* Using a lower rank ability should not lock up your character anymore


Quests

* Players should no longer lose destiny quests if their quest log is full
* Corrected some typos in various quest texts
* Updated directions in the quest "A Dangerous Challenge"
* The flame on the Torch of Eiglophian will now die after a while in Fields of the Dead.


Playfields

* Fix a lot of graphics lag issues caused by particles in Tarantia Noble, Field of the Dead and Eiglophian Mountains which should result in much lesser lag in those playfields


Player Characters

Necromancer
* Necromancer - you no longer lose the Cannibalism spell when investing the second feat

Guardian
* Guardian - Fixed a problem where the third rank in Counterstrike Stance was not giving you the damage shield while in defensive stance.

Bear Shaman
* Bear Shaman should now correctly recieve Blood Flow (Rank 3), Claws of Stone (Rank 2), and Spirit of the Bear (Rank 2) at level 40. (Note: If you are past level level 40, you will gain these spells at level 45, 50, or 55 instead.)

Dark Templar
*Feat - the Dread Shadow pet will successfully spawn again.


NPCs

* Ragall the food and drink merchant has received a fresh stock of merchandise.
* Ranger archetype NPCs will no longer cause issues with the player's HP becoming desynced.


Crafting

* Bow/Crossbow now require wood
* More than 50 alchemy items have been added to vendors


City Building

* Requirement checks and consumption of resources when building PVE city buildings should be fixed.


GUI

* Changed the chat colors to be more like what players are used from other games.
* The guild chat text is now green
* Removed the DirectX 10 option from the option panel.
* Removed the 'Remove from Spellbook' functionality
* OOC chat channel should no longer be inactive after teleports.

^^^ at the top there when I was saying 'account details' I meant your actual game login details, cos they tie the forums to your game login

Obligitory "welcome to the pain aussie WoW players have felt for the last couple of years" comment goes here.

back up

every mmo that ever came out, and there was a lot before wow, is subject to this

UO has Aussie servers.

EQ (after it was stable) would remain up for 3 and 4 months at a time.

So I dunno ...

is it not logging into the charcters for anyone else?

keeps saying authenticating charcter with server. and takes like 10mins!

I'm referring to the downtime/maintenance during Aussie peak times that we've had to suffer since launch, that's only gotten better in the past couple of months.

When will they fix the stupid mobs that are swimming upside down?

you dunno if plenty of mmo's before WoW had downtime for patching?!
maybe I shouldn't have said 'every mmo that ever came out' - maybe I should've said 'plenty of mmo's' :)

it's not like it's something that only WoW players have ever experienced, was my reason for making my comment

downtime is annoying but I do no notice any lag in game at all unless i'm seeding torrents at 100k

but i have noticed that you can push the combo button when it has 1s left on cooldown and then start your combo
