Did that happen yet? I was working but I’ve been browsing the forums for a bit now and that hasn’t happened yet.

Probably as long as the cookie in your browser says you’re logged in. As soon as the cookie says it’s expired and it tries to route you to the log in screen is when it will happen to you.

It’s been 8+ hours already. I don’t think “soon” qualifies anymore.

I have been playing since GW1 and I don’t think I have ever heard of ANet having to shut the servers down. It may have happened once in the last however many years but this is weird for them and if they say they need to shut it down then it must be a bad one …

Very bad one. The issue itself doesn’t look so bad (items becoming Soulbound to another character) but the consequences in long term could be disastrous (with these items being moved around or even deleted) and the damage caused is huge (it seems other things were also affected), that’s why the servers were shut down and a roll back is needed.

They did shut them down once before tho it was well announced and lasted an hour or two. The restart time for servers was also announced. That was much different tho than the current shut down as that was scheduled.

We are closing this thread as this has been completed.
