Update 3 - 10:02 PM PDT (5:02 PM GMT) - We're back online, folks. Thanks!
Update 2 - 9:35 AM PDT (4:35 PM GMT) - Hey again! Windows updates are done and the patch is being deployed now. There's still a chance we'll need a bit more time than the 3 hours initially requested, but it shouldn't be much more.
Update 1 - 8:40 AM PDT (3:40 PM GMT) - Hi all. There are Windows updates for the servers this week and they are taking longer than we'd like. While we still have 90 minutes in our scheduled downtime there is a chance we may need to extend. I'll post an update in one hour. Thanks!
Hey folks!
We're bringing the PC version of Trove offline at 7AM PDT (2PM GMT) on April 11, 2017 for the Depth Charge patch.
Expected downtime is roughly 3 hours but if we're online early, or need a bit more time, we'll update this post.
Thanks!
