Oooh that server transfer pack looks like a sweet deal. I may snag that for future use.

Aieee, and that's probably when I'll be in the hospital giving birth to my geekling. Priorities!

*makes a note to bribe her former roomie to log in and save some names on the new server for her* :)

No brainer question, I'm sure, but if we're VIPs, we have to transfer characters in order to play them on Exalted, right? As in...leave SGs and the rest behind?

crantz September 10 2011, 22:43:22 UTC

Yes. Like any other server transfer.

Thanks for the info!

Not sure why CoX thinks this is a bonus, though. Doesn't seem to be much of a VIP move if you have to give up your home server (and your SG, and your base and everything else.)

Well, people wouldn't be forced into doing this. It's the same as any other transfer... people want to do it.

Oh, fucking lovely. ALL the events except the Freedom invasion are on work days for me.

Boy, that'd be nice. It'd suck if I miss all the fun because I'm at work.

When exactly does the server go live? I need to know how early I can leap on tomorrow.

They just announced the downtime window as ending at 4pm Eastern. Given recent maintenance extensions and issues I suspect it will be an hour or two late, but they did give themselves an awfully large window this time - 9 hours!

Copypasta:

The Live European and North American City of Heroes servers will be offline for an extended publish on Tuesday, September 13, 2011.

Start Time: 4:00 a.m. PDT / 7:00 a.m. EDT / 12:00 p.m. BST / 13:00 CEST
Expected Duration: 9 hours
Expected Finish Time:1:00 p.m. PDT / 4:00 p.m. EDT / 9:00 p.m. BST / 22:00 CEST

This is for the implementation of Issue 21: convergence and patch notes will be posted after the downtime.

We apologise for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience!
