Oh don't be silly, the reason is that SOE devs work normal hours and 9am West Coast US is 5pm UK/6pm Euro so anything they start at the beginning of the working day and doesn't work will break through our primetime. That's the risk you take playing a game developed by an American company.
My guess ? Security related.. considering yesterdays fiasco on Miller with a cheater ruining the game for everyone(nobody was banning him ALL day). I remember he had over 1500 kills last time I checked..
Sony's online game development division (SOE) is almost entirely US, isn't it? I know Sony isn't originally but Japanese Sony don't make PS2 afaik.
It's surely security related. If it were gameplay related, the servers would be left running and there'd be a fix in about two months.
I, for one, am glad they are working so hard on fixing this even though many workers are on holiday vacations already. Shows dedication.
Meanwhile at the SOE Server room : http://z0r.de/1621 Anyway thanks for the update - back to pressing the radom button till servers show up
Thanks for the update Keep pounding away at those stubborn ZOEs stuck in the Intertubez, they'll let go eventually. That's how the internet works, isn't it? All the things I see are transported to my computer through a tube? There must be some MAXes stuck in one of the tubes.
I think I'll just leave this here. Welcome to the 96% club guys! Luckily the servers were last night and I found my snow men! 10 of them = Snowblower title, now to get the Deep Freeze pistol's medal
Having a production system down sucks, every minute that ticks by is painful. Even worse when the system is a high profile MMO. I really feel for the devs
Any chances its going to be up today so we poor euro guys can acutaly have a chance to use todays soemas promo?
