🛠 Server Maintenance - Wednesday, May 20 - AoE: DE, AoE II: DE

Who the ■■■■ starts work at 2pm?

I second that. The lack of in game notification is frustrating.

I am also disappointed you removed the ability to play without your servers. There is absolutely no reason I cannot play with friends right now.

However I appreciate the efforts you put in updating this game. Thank you.

== UPDATE ==

MAINTENANCE COMPLETE!

Thank you for your patience during the downtime! Please let us know if you encounter any issues connecting to the game or multiplayer services.

Happy hunting!

The globe is round, you know that right? There are people playing from Europe, America, Asia, … That pretty much already covers the timezones not to mention people play at different times. Which time would you pick to please everyone? I am sure devs have got their statistics on server utilization and act accordingly.

Everyone can see the number of only players at steam. There is a clear pattern. Around the time of the maintainance it is always peak hour.

Well, you made a very good point. I just checked that myself and … oh boy! How comes the patching happens at this very time? Looks like the timing could not be any worse.
