What was patch 3.25.2

Patch 3.25.2 was an account system update that would allow sharing of microtransaction between POE1 and POE2. It was also going to merge accounts from all the platforms into one single account system.
You can read more about it on their official site here.

These changes sound good, so why the rollback?

Why the rollback?

This was a major patch and was suppose to take around 4 hours of down time to implement. But, a couple things went wrong:

• Migration took longer to run on actual servers, when compared to their test hardware. Which resulted in longer downtime.
• After the update many players were getting frequent disconnects caused by crashes in one of their servers.

They have figured the problem causing these crashes and will be trying to deploy the patch again in near future.

When will be the next update?

Grinding Gear Games have decided to delay the redeployment of this patch until Monday(NZT). You can read more about their future plans and the steps they are taking to resolve this issue here.
