LoyallyI noticed this a day or two ago! Planet mine craft goes offline around 8 pm (Gmt)

Yes I know what you mean its annoying.

Thank you everybody

I use to blame everything on global warming...

If I understood correctly, the downtime you're talking about is for things like daily backups, maintenance, any sort of patches they might want to add, etc.
It usually goes down twice a day around the same times for like 5-10 min so just make a note of when it happens so you're not surprised when it does.

I'm not sure what you're referring to. I notice that the site occasionally gets slow-- I assume this is usually when archiving data, which I understand happens often-- and goes offline for a few minutes, but that doesn't happen for extended periods of time, for the most part. We still have upwards of 95% up-time though, as I understand it.

What do you mean? The only kind of offline I've experienced with PMC is when it says: Error 522, cannot connect to host server.
