If the servers need to come down in a hurry, they need to come down. I'd rather skip an announcement and lose a half hour's work, than endure a full rollback in the case of database corruption.
Server crashes/downs are part of MMO life all the way back to early MUDS. Only a big deal if you let it be.

Edited by WINTER PROPHET: 9/24/2014 7:15:00 AMNo disagreement there. You've got a valid point. In an emergency they gotta do what they gotta do. Which is why I'm talking about "scheduled Maintenance".

I got an announcement for the last scheduled maintenance. It was about ten minutes before the servers came down, and appeared as I transitioned between an open world and the map, on my way back to the Tower. Perhaps you've just been missing them?

Ahhhhhh.... You see why people [i]dont[/i] get the notice? Because they aren't at "that menu". They are not "off planet". I'll RE-edit my original post based on our discussion and what you just contributed. During the beta I remember on the last day receiving those warnings, but they were "in orbit". You my friend, just helped very much. Thank you.
