The Live City of Heroes servers will be offline for a publish on Thursday, September 15, 2011.

Start Time: 8:00 a.m. PDT / 11:00 a.m. EDT / 4:00 p.m. BST / 17:00 CEST
Expected Duration: 10 hours
Expected Finish Time:12:00 p.m. PDT / 3:00 p.m. EDT / 8:00 p.m. BST / 21:00 CEST


While we expect the servers to be online sooner than scheduled, we will need time to test server stability after the publish. Patch notes will also be posted after the downtime.

Please note that as a result, the regular Thursday maintenance will NOT be taking place.

We apologise for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience!
My math says it's 4 hours...not 10. Am I wrong?

Yea, I just noticed that too.

I hope it's 4 hours and not 10.

I'm not going to ask how.

Hmmm...the in-game announcement a couple minutes ago said 2 hours.

Here's hoping!

*crosses fingers for 2 hours*

I will just say that this week is really starting to get under my skin.Ok the extended 9 hour downtime to put the big stuff on that was expected,then we had the servers go down as something broke another day screwed and now we have daily maintenance at 4 pm just in time to hit EU prime time,what happened to the normal 12 pm BST start time, just wish they would get their act together ,and stop changing times on us.I think this is the first time in 5 years that I have posted a negative post,but that's the way this week has got me could have something to do with what the doctor told me Tuesday as well that I will keep to myself.Ok rant over are we all enjoying this when we can play .

I kinda agree. I understand the need to fix things, but if this turns out to be another extended maintenance right in the middle of BST primetime (ie after I've put the kids to bed at 8) I'm gonna be very annoyed.

This is pretty standard for a new issue release... actually, from my perspective, it's gone off far better than most issue releases. And I say that as I'm not going to be able to play due to the perfect maintenance timing scheduled for right when I had a few hour break

You see how great this is... we've now got the FREEDOM to do other stuff three days out of seven.


It's 106 miles to Grandville, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing faceless helmets

... Hit it ...

I *was* a little disappointed that I'd managed to schedule a three day visit to my mum followed by a week's holiday in Scotland right at the Freedom release. Now I'm quite pleased that I'm not around for all the new issue teething problems. :-)

Today, I mowed my mum's lawn, and then we made a batch of redcurrant jelly. The lawn is neat, and the jelly is delicious.

And forum eat my post


Anyway, can you please think of EU players also. In last 30 days we lost around 3 days of game play, because of emergency fixes and new issue.

Please just start maintenance bit earlier, so it would be over before EU prime time.
