Rant... does it really take 5 hours?

To update the server? Is that the time it takes to raze the old hamsters and raise the new ones? 

Finished my gardening work and thought I'd log in for a few. By the time this is done, I'll be sound asleep... lol

Yes, I'm getting old. And yes, I'm in Japan so, GMT +9...

Sigh.

This company can afford to run shadow servers; have one running while the other is updating, then switch over to the already-updated server and then update the other one.

That way there is no downtime and they have a backup in case things 'go south'.

I'm guessing so based on the region where the player resides. I did not get the message on my EU account, but I read the requested information—month, day, and year. I went to my account settings because I did not enter my birthdate originally.  The interesting part, however, is that for my birthdate, I can only enter the month and day.  There is no year option.  So, there is no way my EU account knows how old I am; it is just my month and day of birth.  Now, since I did not enter the date before, I made sure I was born in July - I need the birthday coupon 🤣.

Just yesterday, on login to my EU account, I got the pop up advising me to fill in the requested information. Clicking on that button opened a menu where the year could be set and saved.

Here's mine for the EU account - only the month and day are offered/shown.

And on the Date of Birth change, I can actually remove it.

As I mentioned earlier, I only set it to July 2 to get the birthday coupon.
