Not too uncommon right after a new issue releases.

There's always something that only shows up when the issue goes live no matter how well tested it got in beta. It'll take a few short tweaks and patches to get it all straight again.

Hey, maybe they're fixing drop rates and some of the odd emote bugs.

Actually, it's usually not down that often at all. Maintenance is typically only on Mondays and Fridays. Builds usually get pushed live on Tuesdays, but even that's not something which happens with any regularity. There are sometimes cases of emergency maintenance to correct server issues and whatnot, but for the most part you only miss 2 hours of playtime twice a week.

That's not about meh!

Used to be every day Mon-Fri for two hours.

The current Monday/Friday only cycle is really nice.


City of Heroes was my first MMO, & my favorite computer game.

Often? We're down less often than a certain popular one. Which has routine maintenance one day a week, sure, but it's pretty much that whole day. Anywhere from 8-12 hours on Tuesdays. We only have up to 2 hours, usually just 1, on Mondays and Fridays. With a total of 168 hours a week, CoH is only normally down about 2.38% of the time. That's not "often".
