Server Update Announcement/Heads Up

[Varka]

So here I was, just swimming back towards my camp when suddenly, BAM!, the game froze aka server update. So the only thing I can hope for at this time is to have some of my skills saved once I reincarnate.

Having a Server Update Announcement would really help plus insuring there would be any be any incident like the one mentioned above.

However, most of all, it would really benefit those players who are from oversees since the time most of people in Europe would be sleeping when the updates are implemented, on the other hand, that's the perfect time for most people in the Americas.

It was a crash (fairly sure)
Updates are always preceded with "server going down in 2 minutes" or something similar.

Yes, this was a crash. Updates are announced some minutes before, but don't expect anything more like a regular shedule. The reasons are obvious (working on Salem, 2 devs...blablabla). Locking this.

Edit: Oh, and don't bother asking for your char back. No refunds, many better men have died like this before.
