During the daily server maintenance, there are a couple of technical tasks to fulfill.
First of all, a world backup is created automatically to have a rollback available for critical situations.
The downtime can also be used to upstream server-side updates or fixes, when there are any.
Also, changes on the server software and hardware have to be done in that time. This includes tasks like adding
additional machines, updating the server's operating system or changing the routing configurations.
The daily maintenance plays also a key role for the world ecosystem in Albion Online.
It will cause territory changes on the map and also shuffle the resource node allocation. That means that ores, wood but also
chests are changing their location after the downtime and will respawn somewhere with full capacities.
