It seems the patcher gave Mythic some fits today, below is the whole story in two posts by Sanya from the Camelot Herald, these are in the order that they were posted. It is good to know all is well. Patcher Problems There are some problems with our patcher this morning. We are working on them - I'll edit this story as needed to give you the latest news. Edit 12:28 PM: If you had problems connecting earlier, please try again, it should be fine. We are continuing to work on optimizing the patcher, but the essential problem is resolved for most users - some of you may still be having problems (hence we're continuing to work =)). Patcher Repairs and Additions At 3:45 PM EST, we will be taking down the patcher equipment to add more boxes and make some tweaks to prevent a recurrence of this morning's troubles. One result of the changes will mean we will from now on be able to add to our patcher capacity at a moment's notice. The new configuration will also be better able to handle larger patches. We don't expect the downtime to be very long, but I'll let you know if something comes up. You can still play while this is going on, but if you're in the middle of getting the patch when we bring down the machine, you'll time out and be unable to finish until we bring it back. Edit: Gah, where has the afternoon gone. We brought the new improved patcher up at 3:47, and it seems to be going great. If y'all have any issues, let me know.
