    You are working with old code, in crazy conditions, and doing your best to make the player base happy.

    And we love you! We the people with common sense and level heads love you!

    Well, right now, the residents of Rathe and Tunare would STRONGLY disagree with the OP. Rathe has been down for about 4 hours, Tunare for over 3

    it's ironic but i remember tons and tons of random emergency downtime from my youth, i went to bed a lot of nights without eq to keep me warm cuz of 'emergency patches and maintanance' and stuff...

    remember that scrolling tickertape and hanging out in chat on the server select was a great experience

    this is kind of like nostalgiac right now

    LOL Poor bastards ha ha this is a lot of down time they must be working their buts off trying to fix what ever is wrong. I work in IT at a casino and I KNOW when something is down this long, someone is going to sleep very well soon. Ive had it happen to me a couple of times. I remember when I installed a phone switch (Avaya Definity) I stayed up 3 days no lie punching down all the 66 blocks and installing the software.

    I'm sure they're not hanging out watching a movie and eating pizza right now...

    But when it becomes pretty much expected that your game is going to be down 10% of the time in any given month, it might be time to spend some money and put in some work prior to things hitting the fan and going wrong.

    Maybe they should have a test server to test patch before they break everything.

    you most certainly dont speak for me. I wont be renewing my sub. I dont pay my money to have access to a game that is constantly offline and under never-ending maintenance.

    Agreed, why are you not internal testing this crap on a cloned test server before you roll this stuff out?
    It's like the whole place is being run by 17 year old interns with no clue how to run things.

    Been playing MMO's since 1999. I dont ever recall anything remotely close to this level of bad. Not sure who is working at daybreak, but 17 year olds might be giving them too much credit.
  20. Cicelee Augur

    Is the game constantly offline? I mean yes the past two days has been a huge patch with a once every xyz years server merge.

    It feels like, and maybe I am just nieve, that the game has its monthly patch which usually lasts 4-12 hours at most. I think one 12 hour downtime every 31 days does not constitute "constantly offline"...
