NC's standing notes: once maintenance begins you are disconnected from the game, and the schedule and details can change at any time — changes are announced as updates to the same notice.

The new rhythm: weekly maintenance + weekly notes

Two windows in, the pattern is established: a maintenance window mid-week, itemized patch notes published with it (this week's: Founder's Pack cross-character and economy tuning). For players that means the practical routine is: finish trading and turn-ins before the window, expect login lock during it, and read the notes after for what changed. The known-issues mirror tracks what is still broken between windows.
