yea, that downtime during primetime is pretty brootal, especially on day 1. But I'm sure Turbine isnt stupid and knows its 'primetime', so this must be a pretty important fix, so ill cut them some slack :P

I have always found it interesting that Turbine calls these "hotfixes". I work in IT and the very nature of a "hotfix" is a fix that you can keep the system "hot", or running while you fix it. I know they use this term to contrast to their normal "scheduled" updates, I just think they could have used a better word. Another company I knows actually keeps their servers running when they apply "hotfixes".

I'd be more upset about it if they were a common thing. As it stands, they're very rare with this game.

Well, the last tier of everyone's crafting skills were reset, so I'm alright with losing an hour of playtime if they can fix that. Especially since I was at work while it was down, so it really didn't inconvenience me in any way.
