Nobody is asking you to praise them. There is a middle ground, however, which involves not being part of the problem.
The Australian server was never a 'done deal' - the fact that we campaigned hard and long finally made them set one up here earlier than they would have liked to. After the hardware arrived and the server set-up, there was only a few weeks to try and load test it. Getting players was always a struggle with the servers down every evening, and the last weeks daily 2GB patches chased even more away. A lot of people and large outfits stated they wouldn't even use the server until after launch, as they had beta uber-characters and friends on the US servers, and they would not move. So who to blame? There's plenty of blame to go around.
TR obviously, NC are nothing but scum on the bottom of my boot. and lets face it, red and black just looks better.
the beta worked fine - any amount of testing would not have given the current issue, which is a new build on a new server, the problems have been worldwide, the current issue we have is a network issue - making assumptions as to what could would and should be done without appropriate information just makes us look like tools. yes its annoying not being able to play the game we have waited so long to play - but being tools about it doesn't help resolve the issue.
TR for sure! everything is fast and fun, NC..lol if u like travelling aroudn the world in slomo, cept i do like the impact everything they have does, but im sure with certs u can make TR hit just as nice
Ok folks, I know you've all been waiting patiently. We've implemented a set of changes and right now, we're happy with the performance metrics we're seeing for the Australian servers. We will continue to monitor this server very closely, and if it starts going sideways we will bring it back down. We're going to be bringing the Briggs server back online in a few moments. Please report any new issues you find. We'll be listening.
Hey Epi I'm going to sort lunch and jump on vent later on if you want to hit up Connery again. or maybe Briggs if its still up.
There is no middle ground! There is only Worship or Destroy! As we can not destroy SOE, we must hate.
Why not just tell us the problem? I'm kinda handy with a computer. Maybe we could help? EDIT: Ninja'd. Wow.
Thx Veratu, that MSY website can be a ***** to read and then there's the queue in store only to be told its out of stock, you've done well under the circumstances.
