On Thursday, August 30 at 8:00AM CDT (1:00PM GMT), we will be conducting database maintenance on portions of the PlayNC website. Customers will not be able to access their accounts or purchase products or merchandise in the store. The Support Center and Knowledge Base will also not be available during this maintenance window, which we expect to last up to three hours. We will post more information if there are any extra issues that may prolong this period of maintenance beyond the anticipated time. We apologize for the inconvenience.
So expect some messageboard issues..... Until the maintenance is done.
Where do you get that boards are affected? It clearly states PlayNC website, which is completely different from the LineageII site, let alone the boards.
Unless I'm totally off the chart here... (which may be true)
You are, actually. The boards, the L2 site... everything is part of the PlayNC master site.
However, judging from what I read in the notice, it is just the account / support / shop section of the master site that looks to be under maintenance.
Which does not say that they aren't on the same server.
I think the boards do have their own database. Data is transferred from the PlayNC master db to it every now and then.
The ants were spending a fine winter's day drying grain collected in the summertime. A Grasshopper, perishing with famine, passed by and earnestly begged for a little food. The Ants inquired of him, "Why did you not treasure up food during the summer?' He replied, "I had not leisure enough. I passed the days in singing." They then said in derision: "If you were foolish enough to sing all the summer, you must dance supperless to bed in the winter."
The moral of course is that it is thrifty to prepare today for the wants of tomorrow.
