Servers + SoE site down

[Jenifeal]

Would like to know what is the ETA on the maintenance today if someone can tell me.
And what is happening this week? Monday got a maintenance of 20 minutes in the afternoon for some "tradeskill stuff", the maintenance today i dont know why and the patch tomorrow.... was it really an emergency to do the maintenance today and not wait for the tomorrow patch?

nevermind.... just took a look after writing this to the topic in the other thread....

Monday's bounce was to fix bad file loads on the servers. This happened to affect tradeskills.

Today's downtime is network maintenance. They are replacing a major switch.

Tomorrow's downtime is a DATA (no code) patch. Without code changes, there will be no fix to this type of bug

They decided not to try and combine today's downtime with the patch because it could mean the servers would not be up until the evening.

I would like to add that all those shutdown are beeing irritating for us on the combine.... waiting on TSS for weeks now and getting those shut down without knowing why
