Except one VERY important mistake. It hadn't been a FULL 21 days when the server went down. The server switched to phase 2 21 days ago from today, which means that the phase timer didn't start counting down until the server came back up, at around 7 or 8 am pacific 21 days ago, meaning that the timer wasn't at 0 when the server went down at 4 am pacific today(and that's not even counting the server downtime we've had with publish 19 and doule exp week, etc....). So yeah, don't go thinking that it should have happened today, cause as much as I was hoping, I was pretty sure it wasn't happening.

Have you read my post? Have you even read how the phase change works?? If you did, you would understand 2 things.


1. It almost NEVER will change on the extra 3 week date (ie: Today..) To me, that's a MINIMUM on the date change so that we have an idea on the next phase shift...


2. It will ALWAYS change after the 3 weeks, but after a server reset (it is REQUIRED)...


That is the reason why i put the post there... so that there is a central location for these questions... hmm... maybe i'll add an interesting faq..

dude, i havent played in months and even I KNOW how this works.



It works by server ticks, not by days in a week. so 3 weeks of server ticks is what is required...



This means that when a server is offline for maintenance or for upgrades it does NOT tick, so it can take 2-4 days longer than '3 weeks' for it to come back online with the phase shift.



3 weeks of server ticks DOES NOT equal 3 weeks in real life. you need to account for downtimes.



It has been like this since day one. you guys need to read on how this works

You read the sticky... and you expect the phase to change "on time"...


these two statments are in direct conflict... go back and read the stickies or heck any post on this board... it goes by minutes of server uptime... not weeks or days... when it hits minute 0 it will change on the next server reset... so while minute 0 may very well be today (it probably isn't) the phase will not change untill the server resets next, which is thursday or saturday.

I just got glowie saturday... and I read the stickys... now I know everything I need to know.

and if it was that simple a system... wouldn't all the servers be on the same phase?

I think my posts are completely accurate...


Read all the other posts that everyone else has posted here.. they all understand how this works... obviously you don't... That's why i posted a second date... in case the first server switch is wrong... In fact, now that i know this, i am going to change that again and only show ONE date i think it will switch... obviously some people think the first date i put in is the EXACT date it will change...


And don't blame me for the phases not switching... as the others has posted here, its based on seconds, and can be interrupted based on downtime...


Thanks ZeroK0ol, NiobeAmnas and CityHall for explaining this process in an easy and clear way.. although it already is in the sticky!
