It's a bitch-lard-ass of a windows update, it started to randomly fucking download when I was in the middle of running a dungeon and I couldn't pause it or stop it either.

Any idea what windows maintenance means?
Or why it has to go for so long? I'm getting withdrawal symptoms from not commercing.

You know that point in time where Windows says it needs to restart for updates, gives you about 14 ininutes to decide whether to restart/postpone before it does it for you? That Windows maintenance. No idea why it's 4.5 hours though. They usually only go down for 2 hours tops when it's a windows update.

So their server goes down because of windows update.

Ahahahahahaha that's kinda funny. Windows screws me again.

That's a simplification of what they're doing.
They're applying security patches & updates to the OS and the database, doing a full reboot, running database cleanups and optimizations and several other bits of routine maintenance.
Part of why it takes so long is that they're doing this to a minimum of 30 servers, just counting the game channels.

Less lag...?

Unlikely, lag is a result of their bad design practices, database optimization is just tweaking and cleaning indexes and statistics for the most part, which shouldn't have a notable impact if done weekly, you'd see the impact of that if it
wasn't done weekly when certain things would start to choke randomly.
In short; What they do in these won't often make us "better" unless they do something to fundamentally change things, but it keeps us from getting "worse".

Sounds like they're coding in TI-basic.

If they knew what they were doing and understood basic client server relationships TI-Basic could do better than what we've got, but alas no matter what you program in if you don't understand the basic paradigm you're working with crap comes out 80% of the time.

Where did you find that? Didn't see it at all on the main site. So they're following suit with MabiTW?

It was added to our itemdb (and translated) with this morning's patch, along with pegasus and some changes to flight boost, fox disguises, and what looks disturbingly like a 20 minute expiration on all those wings ( they all got tagged with a flag named destroytime_20min ).
