- Restart your router/modem
MMO Game Service Patterns
MMORPGs follow predictable weekly maintenance cycles and longer downtime for major content patches.
MMOs extend maintenance without notice when patches introduce critical bugs. Login queues after maintenance are common and not an outage. World/realm-specific issues may not affect all players.
