That means nothing. That page is only updated every 15 minutes. The servers are all up and green

It doesn't matter what time of the day it is, nor who is on. Hence the emergency part of the maintenance. It was a hotfix that needed to be applied immediately.

They're absolutely tested. This one in particular was not tested very well, but even the ones that are tested for stupidly long periods of time can have issues.

Test Server != Live Server. What works perfectly fine on Test can work disastrously on Live. That's been proven time and time again.

They probably didn't read those posts because it was suggested by one of the PvP'ers! :O

LOL Sorry. I felt like burning someone/something.

That doesn't mean we shouldn't :P

I was wondering when someone was going to wander in here with the "calm down" post

I am calm and this is how I'm choosing to waste my time until the servers are back up. By posting incessantly until it's fixed! Lmao

The hotfix? Or the extended down time?

The hotfix resolves a crashing issue with the Alpha slot which apparently would cause map server disconnects during TF's and take away all rewards.

The extended down time seems to be because one of the server rats passed out

Uh...yes. You can either read this thread you're posting in, or look at the original announcement that's been updated about 4-5 times now.

Hehe.

Av also posted an update saying they're "waiting to bring up the servers". Whatever that means.

Edit: "We're running into problems with one of our systems and expect a further delay of at least 15 minutes. We'll get there!" according to the latest update.

First off, Welcome back to the game

I've been playing non-stop with maybe a month or 2 here and there break, and the game has never been more stable. At least for me anyway. There is currently an issue that requires an immediate fix. This isn't a "regular maintenance window".

That being said, maintenance was also changed from every morning to every Thursday morning back in Oct 2009. So no, this isn't normal.

That's generally because it's a notebook. You can try the manufacturer of your notebook for the latest drivers, or you'll have to use a third party for newer drivers. There are a few places that repackage the latest drivers so notebook users can bypass the silly manufacturer defaults. I haven't had a notebook in quite a while so can't remember off the top of my head, but a Google search will help you out, or someone might chime in

Edit: You can try here. Try out the ones Master-Blade posted first, as they're from nVidia. But if they don't work try the other I posted. Although lately GPU manufacturers are pushing more and more towards supporting notebook GPU's with their newer drivers, some notebook manufacturers still bork up the INF files so you can't install directly from nVidia or AMD. It's one of the silliest faux-pas I've ever come across, but up until recently apparently no one cared.

You just explained why it's working for you and you don't even know it

You used your bank card for one transaction, and paypal for another. The issues doesn't exist if you're using more than one card/paypal account to make purchases. The problems arise when you try to make more than one purchase with the same credit card. It's totally ridiculous. For some silly reason, NCSoft believes if they only allow you to make 1 purchase per credit card per every 24 hours, they're actually deterring fraudulent activity.

You would think purchasing from multiple cards/accounts would set off a red flag much faster than charging $59 to one credit card. *rolls eyes*


In this time of technological wonders, there are plenty of other ways to protect yourselves from fraud. I think it's time to update training in the financial department.
