Today's downtime could be considered an "emergency patch" of sorts, as it is intended to correct an issue that arose from yesterday's update.<br /><br /><a href="http://forums.ageofconan.com/showthread.php?t=119131">The offending bug</a> causes certain socketed items to lose their sockets -- we are assured, however, that any socketed gems are still intact, and will reappear when the problem is fixed. The blanket figure of "5 hours" has been given for the downtime, which will commence at 7AM EDT on US servers, but community manager Famine <a href="http://forums.ageofconan.com/showpost.php?p=1369587&amp;postcount=7">has stated</a> that it will likely be closer to 1 or 2 hours. The patch has already been deployed to the European servers, and their downtime was roughly 3 and a half hours <a href="http://forums-eu.ageofconan.com/showthread.php?p=649378#post649378">going by this thread</a>.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/07/03/short-aoc-downtime-today-will-fix-socketed-item-bug/">Short AoC downtime today will fix socketed item bug</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Thu, 03 Jul 2008 05:30:00 EST.
