In all likelihood, the gateway issue probably isn't actually fixed, just addressed. I wouldn't be surprised if the others servers break upon reboot too, given how things have been handled so far.
That double XP is nice and all.. but it would be nice if we could.. you know.. play the game One day is ok for down time, but when it goes into two days, seriously let people know what is going on. Dont just be like "gateway issue" brah, be online soon!
Dear god, it's spreading. This reminds my of my attempts to cook in the tenth grade. Every time it would end in flames, and people just wanted me to stop f***ing up because it needed to be done, and done correctly.
Some of us are network technicians and administrators. So yeah, it'd really be nice to know whats actually going on. I know you are under some big PR hammer that says "NOOO" just saying.
Yeah, my patience is running thin. At first I was okay with it sure these things happen..but the length of this down time is obscene
I think this is my fault, guys. Wednesday I found that Waterson had completely unplayable lag. (Still does, its an issue for all NY/NJ FIOs customers.). So I made new characters on Connery. I should have known that i'm just not meant to play and that I'd be dooming the new server too, I think i'm going to go extort money from the Aussies by threatening to make a Briggs character unless they pay me off.
Just burn some sage and open all your windows. Note: Don't set it on fire, heat it up til it begins to smoke.
