Other servers are running the new version. Why is Ares such a crap server. Do the devs not have configuration control between servers? Where is quality assurance? Where is a note from management apologizing for gross mismanagement?

What makes ARES so different from the other servers? Why it takes twice as long for it to be upgraded?
Questions, questions ... and no answers. BAD!!!
BBs, maybe it is time to roll back Ares to Monday night. Start testing the upgrade somewhere safe, not on live servers. The upgrade is not worth much at this moment.
Dear Settlers,
Ares is still undergoing maintenance with no ETA yet. We'll keep you informed.
Like · Reply · 1 · 14 mins This is from facebook, 14 mins ago. I'm getting a little scared. When a server is down this long, something might have happened to the data, if you get my drift.
Keeping us informed.... Not so much... Keeping us in the dark... Definitely...
I wouldn't mind that it's down so much if there was an accurate "up time". When it gets close to that "up time", if they were responsible and customer friendly, they would extend it if they thought it would take more time, rather than leaving us in the dark. Good customer service goes a lot farther that way...
Welcome to the world of IT. There's no such thing as an accurate up time answer.
Then under promise and over deliver... One of the rules to follow in business
Based on what German BB's shared, they are undergoing a "database purge" (google it if you care), and the database scripts are apparently "always hard to predict, how long it will take to run". For the same reason, German XXL update was postponed and will not be added until they perform optimization (purge) on all databases (that's 14 servers in Germany) to avoid exactly what is happening here...
The other thing is there is no more communication since the 3:30 AM news post on the main page - guess Endesmor is still sleeping![]()
