If we have a total wipe, the race is on to lock up all the names again.

If you could, what name would you steal from your fellow players?

She seems to think that progress has been made in the right direction, as well.

Shit, I wish my job was as easy as BSing around on a Twitter page while everyone else worked.

Most likely the Update 9 code achieved self awareness and is either releasing itself early, or taking over a factory full of killer robots somewhere.

You have just suffered -30d12 points of INT damage from "Inris" special attack just for reading the above post.

Inris. Fucking whiny, drama queen. And not even the good kind of entertaining drama. More like pre-teen, bubble-gum bullshit that dumbs me down a level everytime I read what she posted.

I can't speak to why, but it wouldn't load for me. I checked there first after I couldn't log onto the game, then came here.

Lo, and as the servers went down, thousands voices cried out in terror and simultaneously hit Turbine's Facebook page to find out why their planet had exploded.

Any bets this doesnt get resolved until at least Monday sometime? They probably will not even start looking into it until Monday 9AM. For a large multi-million dollar gaming comapany, they seem to have strange ideas on emergencies and work hours.

9-5, monday to friday is working time, and thats that. If anything happens outside that time the customers can just bend over and take it up the old poop chute until the next working day.

Sad when a freaking McDonalds has a longer operating hours/work week then they do. And probably better emergency planning to boot.

But I have faith that they will give us 10% XP boost for a few days to make up for not really giving a shit, like they usually do.  Angry



Actually, as a company the runs MMORPG, f2p with a store, then every minute they're down, they are losing money.  No players, no access sends players away.  No access means no money spent in the stores.  Most of the company is probably 9-5, but not their server group.

Yeah.  There is absolutely no way that they don't have 24/7 server support.  You don't run a company based on a 24/7 service without 24/7 support.

At any rate, it's not as bad as WoW.  I played that for a year, and the server went down unexpectedly every 4-6 weeks.  Sometimes for most of a day. 

Anyone read any good books lately?  I'm reading "The Great Reset" by Richard Florida.   I think he's a bit of starry-eyed optimist, but it's thought-provoking reading.
