This is your two-hour warning. Speak-up now if this is a bad time.

Keep the booze and Hulah dancers away from the Avlis Command Center! It's a secure area!

I recognize that to a large extent the answer to this question must be "it all depends," but I'm wondering you have an educated guess as to how long the cut-over will take? Not the best case scenario, but a realistic one with "oh-shits" factored in.

If all goes well, 1hr. There's really only one thing that could screw us up and in that case, we'll back off and try again on another night.

I am curious about this situation. If someone was here and they logged off avlis then back in would it free them up and what consequences would happen? would it give you the xp and finish the craft? screw up the table? just stop where it is? Im not asking to try it everyday but i have been stuck in this situation once and tried to wait it out but i didnt make it.

Shortly after hearing the server was about to go down, I found myself alone, in a fiendish trap in the Malikite Caverns, surrounded by 20 huge water elementals, every one of them tougher than me, and thinking to myself, oh boy, if I fall now, it's goodbye to all that aloe I just picked...

You'll have to ask if you want to know what happened next. See you at Elf gate. :-)
