As a guess they may be doing some quick unscheduled maintenance in order to be ready for the extra load of the 2XP weekend. *shrugs*

2x XP weekend?
Too many alts to list.
Great question any info would be appreciated
I was about to ask this question myself. I was just surprised I didn't see any announcements about it, so I was worried that something was wrong.
It probably is the Double Exp weekend, though. I'd forgotten about that (or, more accurately, I didn't think it'd be starting this early on Friday)
It was supposed to be up and going by 6am. I was on earlier and all was good. Must be some type of repairs or something.
I had asked in one of the Mako threads if there was any intention of bringing it down today -- alas, this appears to be the response....

I was also displeased to find the servers are down. One would think they would have taken care of any issues -before- Double XP Weekend and not during.
Although to be fair, the dev's are usually kind enough that if this becomes a major issue they would probably extend the weekend or repeat it some time soon.
Yeah, I was puzzled as well. Makes sense that they might do a quick maintenance right before going live on 2xp, but odd timing to still be down with no word.
.......OR maybe it's the standard weekly maintenance like the popup said when they brought the servers down and someone got the time wrong in the announcement.
Just sayin'.

Or it could be unexpected power failures, anything.. shrug... it happens, even with the best back up systems.

Code:
I24 Proc Chance = (Enhanced Recharge + Activation Time) * (Current PPM * 1.25) / 60*(1 + .75*(.15*Radius - 0.011*Radius*(360-Arc)/30)) Single Target Radius = 0. AoE Non-Cone Arc = 360.
Unexpected downtimes are by definition unexpected by everyone including the devs and as such cannot be announced ahead of time.

Come on. If you can't believe random popup messages, then what's this (virtual) world coming to?

Logged in after not logging in at all yesterday, all servers grey.*cries quietly to self*
That was almost 3 hours ago, but alas, server status says they are still down.

Engrave has posted 8 times since 2005. What does Engrave post about? Why are the servers down when they said the servers will be up and it's a special Double XP day.
It's like stealing a kid's puppy. Or leaving everyone standing at the gates of Disneyl;and but letting no one in. It's letting the ice cream melt but not serving it to anyone. It's evil.
Grabbed an early shift at work so I could be home by 9am and get me some Friday Double XP's as the rest of the weekend doesn't lend itself to much playtime and WHAMMO!
DENIED!

Refresh Server Status ...
Things can and do go wrong but I would have hoped that there would have been a post somewhere to say there are problems.

You do realize that the devs are in a different time zone where they are probably just getting up and getting ready to go to work.
random always seems to happen on 2xp w/e's... thats why i get my 2xp everyday in AE...

Hm, yeah. I did my Time Zone Math wrong. I keep forgetting that they're on the West Coast. (Since I'm currently in Europe, but I'm originally from Philadelphia, so that's what I tend to think of as "US Time")
With all weekend to play, I'm not particularly worried. As long as it's not down all weekend 
On another subject, despite what it says, the Server Status page really doesn't seem to update on its own. Or maybe it's just Chrome.
Anybody know why?
