England is open, your welcome there! In fact I insist you go there, I'm sure there currently holding the 'Welcome GG' sign already at customs! I should also notify you that there is no country that exists above England, this is in fact a lie. Do not go up there, you'll uhm.. fall off the border. However I am sure if such a country would exist, it would be excellent to visit.

Yea.. that's it!

I'm not European and I object to being called one! I just happen to live here and have bought my copy of the game here... I'm really from Down Under (the nice one, next to the large one)

Make sure you bring change too! Our train station toilets CHARGE for you to use them!!! [I will never forget my reaction first time i went to england and saw that! If it wasnt for the 3 hour train ride, i would've refused to pay! But then again i suppose thats how they get you]

From the pictures I've seen, Britain has some lovely looking countryside, and lots of castles and other old buildings to look at.

We do. And one of the richest documented histories in the world. It's has a rich tapestry of beautiful countryside, exciting built environments and a rich and expansive culture.

The snag is most people who live here forget to see the good stuff.

When you see things almost on a daily basis you tend to forget though that it is a good tourist attraction.

Cardiff castle for one i see almost every single day when i go to town yet i've only ever been in there once Though if i was a tourist, i'ld probs make that one of the first things i went to see [followed by the millenium stadium and new cardiff bay].

And make sure that you're swift to use them too. I remember taking too long once and having the door slowly slide open in front of me....

Thats because everywhere we go, the news, the media, the TV itself (I dont watch the doombox for a reason, y'know), even most public places...we get this storm of reminders of how inferior we have become.

Sorry, I am a tad bitter. People tend to become when its things they have no real power over. *shrug*

Note that a good Beta organising team would explain why to the testers after they've done it (or before if it's not urgent). Especially if people voice concerns of it being a "us vs them" action.

The *last* thing they want is to split their Beta testers and upset them. Upset volunteers don't volunteer for things.

They needed a server to test the patch on, and the Euro Test is smaller, so it was the one to be rolled back to I16 - rolling the American one back and leaving the Euro one still with I17 on it would have been silly - they'd have cut off the majority of the beta testers from being able to test.

In other words we got picked cause there the bigger boy in the playground? I'm not being naive but that's a pretty childish system.

Even if it's more convenient to do it to our 'Test' server, they hardly warned us either in advance.

The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.



Mind you any rollback should be followed up with a restore of the previous Database state once the emergency had past, so EU players can continue testing the higher end game. Of course a Level Bump would achieve the same process so I wouldn't be surprised if the characters are not restored but instead a scheduled Level Bump happens, which is essentially the same thing in terms of Testing.
