[2019] Live Unscheduled Server Maintenance: Thursday, August 22

Hello All,

We will have an unscheduled maintenance at 1:30 p.m. PDT / 10:30 p.m. GMT+2. The downtime will last approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes to address latency and server performance issues.

With this maintenance:

• The Ranking System will be temporarily removed
• Chronos: The amount of NPCs in hunting zones will be restored back to normal. Timed Hunting Zones will still remain temporarily disabled.
• Naia: The amount of NPCs in extremely low populated hunting zones will be further reduced.
• Additional server adjustments will be made to address latency issues on the Naia server

Queue limit will be increased to allow in more players once we have confirmed server stability.

Thank you for your patience!

Servers are now up, we will be monitoring closely to see when queue can be adjusted. Thank you for your patience with us!

Update:

Our team is still monitoring the server performance for now until we can further increase the queue limit. We are also planning a major hardware adjustment that will require additional downtime, but should greatly increase the server performance. More details on this change will be shared tomorrow.

I can also tease some of the major events that we have scheduled to start soon on the Live servers:

• New Artifacts of Power
• Golden Compass Event - Lurin's Fortress
• Multiple Server Settings
• Attendance Checklist Event

We are still waiting to resolve the latency as you know, but we have not forgotten about compensation and will have a special pack available in the L2 Store next week.

Thank you again for being patient with us! 

The amount of NPCs for the Naia server is now the same as Chronos (original amount with the exception of No Timed Hunting Zones). We will monitor the server performance until tomorrow afternoon and will adjust the queue limits after confirming with the Dev team.
