As much as i wish to play LOTRO all day tomorrow,
i'm glad that the team is making any necessary maintenance. I can always play a bit tomorrow early in the morning & the next day.

Sometimes these take two or even up to four weeks to complete. There's no real good time to do these, but they are necessary. Do these include the upgrades that were mentioned on stream last week with the switch from 32-bit to 64-bit?

Yeah, the 2nd Cordovan Comment for this Thread is pretty much the "Update Notes". Maintenance almost never has anything discussed beyond that it's happening.

Well, this time the Europeans will be thankful that they can play the greater part of Wednesday and start early on Thursday (it being scheduled for 6pm of Wednesday to 7am of Thursday)


Greetings, Polymachos
It is 2pm until 1am for most of Europe. For those who works in normal hours it actually eliminates possibility to play tomorrow.

oops, I told my kin the wrong ending time, but I guess they won't stay up to wait for the server to come back online in the middle of the night

Hi Cordovan,
To me, since last Wednesday, the servers have seem slower than normal, by which I mean in delvings the mobs are de-agroing mid fight (a very laggy fight), sometimes the delving stones aren't spawning with quest rings, skill execution is consistently up to around 3-4 seconds, all of this is new/worse since last weeks downtime. Will this Wednesdays prolonged downtime address these issues?

The health does not appear to be getting any better, and actually seems to be getting progressively worse. Perhaps you folks should get second, and third, opinions.

People discuss this but it's all relative. Things "have" been slowly getting better but "slowly". We see the consistent "bumps in the road" where it gets a rough again and the endless cycle of this for many who have played over the years.

It's like people complaining about the recent longer Maintenance Downtimes. Historically we have had very quick Downtimes for Maintenance and even for Updates.

Here in 2024 and especially in recent weeks + Months we've had longer. Relatively recently yes longer average downtimes, historically quick downtimes.

Glad you agree with me, that in recent months, the health of the game has been getting worse.
