^^^Exactly this^^^. The game may not get regular updates anymore. But, they did do a patch of sorts back earlier in the year, maybe February, to allow the return of the GE's. Speaking of which, I wish they would skip the maintenance during GE's. They are too limited of events to miss any available time.
I've been a systems admin for ~25 years. A good portion of my job is taking care of the systems. They might have to take them offline to replace the fault-tolerant hardware, or put system updates on it, etc. That said, I know nothing of game server hardware. My guess is that it is like regular server hardware. There's usually redundancy within the individual servers, as well as redundancy with other servers so they could potentially avoid downtime.
In our business, we support the US financial market and we have a 99.99% uptime guarantee. If we are down more than that, we get fined. Depending on the SLA (service level agreement), they can be incredibly expensive. I know the last time we had an issue, we paid more than $1000 per MINUTE we were down beyond that .01% downtime allowance. So, it probably goes without saying everything is redundant. We have 3 US sites, they all replicate and any of them can switch and be the "live" host at any time the system detects an issue. Each site has Cox Cable, ATT Fiber, and a fast bonded cellular option as a last resort. We also have a 10 gigabit connection between those sites for replication. There is a lot of hardware. Why am I telling you all this? Because it gives a rough idea of what all is involved in being up as much as they are. I assume with TD1 being over 4.5 years old, they have scaled their servers dedicated to this game back quite a bit. I do know I experienced a lot more game issues since the free game giveaway. I think the spike of newer players caught up to the servers power.
Hello guys I never played division game. I watched gameplay on youtube and I completely love this game. Desipite all I have played shooter games all of them was fps, It really impressed me even it's trhird person perspective, graphics and enviroment are crazy, I only wish there to be single player campaign, Can I have single player mode?
