In a realm constantly bleeding from the schemes of Great Houses, a bit of stability is a welcome sight—even if it's on the technical side. The developers are deploying this patch to address underlying server issues and ensure a smoother experience as you navigate the war-torn lands of Westeros. This isn't a content update, so don't expect new quests or balance changes; it's a maintenance patch to shore up the foundations.
How to Prepare for the Downtime
The most important part of this announcement is the pre-patch warning. Before the maintenance begins, make sure you log out in a safe area, like a major city or outpost. The developers also advise against using any daily content or temporary buff items right before the servers go down, as you risk losing them due to the shutdown and potential instability.
What time does the maintenance start in Europe?
The patch is scheduled for 00:40 AM Pacific Time. For players in Europe, this will be mid-morning on November 13. For example, that's 8:40 AM GMT in London or 9:40 AM CET in Berlin. It's best to wrap up your morning session well before then to avoid any issues.
Once the patch is complete, the servers should be more reliable, letting you get back to forging your path through the chaos of the Seven Kingdoms without unexpected disconnects.
