“I just got a notification that the server is shutting down in 60 seconds. Can’t you let us know about it earlier when you do maintenance?”
Whenever we plan maintenance, our goal is to tell the players about it at least a day in advance. Sometimes, however, urgent maintenance is needed, and it’s only possible to give a couple of hours’ notice (or less). We try hard to avoid giving players these shorter notification windows. Occasionally, a server has to be shut down and restarted immediately. This is when you encounter the infamous 60 seconds notification message in the game.
Game servers are built out of multiple devices all working together to create the game world and its inhabitants. If one device does not work properly, the rest of the units may be brought down automatically to protect the game world, and an automated 60 seconds notification is then broadcast to allow you to find a safe spot before the server shuts down. So this notification, though abrupt, is a feature provided to give players at least enough time to finish their last combat/crafting, and log out in a safe spot rather than experiencing a sudden crash without warning.
We work hard to make the game servers as stable as possible, but sometimes crashes happen despite our steadfast efforts. Each crash is investigated and followed up with measures to avoid having the same problem occur again in the future.
