Hi guys!
Servers will be going down in about 5 minutes (if you’re in game you will hopefully have seen the notification an hour ago) in preparation of Release 199.
The downtime is expected to be fairly lengthy, but we are unable to provide an ETA at this point.
Patch notes can be found here -[Coming Thursday AM] Release 199: New Decorative Props, Server Optimisation and Fixes!
Thanks!
Tables and Chairs!!!
That’s annoying. I think I have managed to pick the worst time to have planned 4 days away to go and see my folks 
Still, at least I’ll have something to look forward to when I come back. 
I missed the notice and was completely lost down the portal well (there is a hub connection between regions I can’t seem to remember.)
Starting in a strange city should be interesting.
Fairly lengthy… FAIRLY LENGTHLY!!!
Nooo!! You cant do this to me! 
Ehhm, gotta wonder what they call fairly lengthy, an hour, 2 hours, more?
Best I can give you is… likely more than 1 hour, unlikely more than 4 hours. (big emphasis on “unlikely” - if a problem occurs it could be longer, but let’s just hope that doesn’t happen!)
Awww maaaan! First my internet goes down. And not 20 minutes after it comes up, the servers go down.
If anyone needs me, I’ll be rocking myself to sleep in the corner.
anyone know if buffs timers stop after logging out and persist after maintenance?
I ate a teaching stew before in anticipation of the exp drop on log in.
If I’m guessing right and it has to do with queries on db which they didn’t run on production data 
- your guess is as good as theirs.
This downtime dropped ok me like a bomb, im not feeling well, im getting the shakes. I need my fix, this aint got ive more hooked on this game then idd care to admit. 
Actually im pretty sure they do pause once you log out, Im open to correction but im pretty sure its right
Teaching stuff should stay up - did more or less the same as you and from what i remember it worked okey.
They have to migrate data from what I read in the other topic, either schema changed or something similar. Those are lengthy processes and nothing can be done about it.
I picked a terrible night to get baked and mine diamonds 
It’s never a terrible night to get baked. Or mine diamonds. You can just go outside. There’s a bunch under your yard. Go Go.
some things pause, others dont. Thinks like status effects are tied to time spent “in world” so will pause, crafting queues etc will not pause but be fast forwarded when the server is brought back up. regeneration will also pause because fast forwarding it would be far too expensive.
Oh my god really?!? I’M GETTING A SHOVEL RIGHT NOW
Excellent touch btw, iv always despised feeling forced to spend hours in a game because iv used some sort of booster and would be letting it go to waste by logging out.
