The planned maintenance window
Maintenance was scheduled to begin on October 4 at 22:00 PDT / October 5 at 07:00 CEST, or October 5 at 08:00 Moscow time. The announced eight-hour duration gave a planned end of 16:00 Moscow time, with a UTC window of 05:00–13:00. This is a calculation of the scheduled window, not a verified actual completion time.
What was announced for the downtime
NC warned that players would be disconnected when maintenance began and that login would be temporarily unavailable. Those warnings referred to the October 4–5 window. By October 15 the dates had passed; this news item cannot be used to determine current server availability.
Which changes were announced
The main changes were the end of advanced access and the commercial launch. The same notice described changes to character deletion, interactions with quest objects and several fixes, including Duty and the English title Vanguard of Atreia.
