Here's a Suggestion

How about setting a goal of going a full DAY without Virtue and ONLY Virtue Server shutting down right in the middle of a mission, dumping us ignominously from the game? I'm sure it can be done.

How about acting like an adult and not throwing a hissy-fit over one server going down when you can still play on the other ten. If you are one of the people that chooses to limit yourself to a single server then you have only yourself to blame when you can't play on the rare occasions a server is down for scheduled maintenance.

I think it would be better to not do maintenance on Virtue so it can crash more.


total kick to the gut

This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.

If Virtue keeps crashing, then I see nothing wrong with complaining. But if it is down to fix a problem, complaining about that seems kinda dumb.

I can understand the frustration {being on the receiving end myself more than once} but I very much doubt the Devs are having it crash on purpose. I might go so far as to assume they're working on making it more stable, though that might be a leap of faith on my behalf.

Either way, wrong forum, I'm sure.

Surely, it didn't shut down without warning. Typically with scheduled maintenances there's an Admin message (or several at intervals) prior to shutdown.

Forbin Sweety he's not referring to scheduled maintenance Virtue has been having some serious CRASH problems on a daily basis for ohhh what is it now 5-6 days. Now.. the Devs are aware of it and it was been posted by a RED name that the issue is being looked into and a fix will be in place when they figure out why. Until then OP best I can say is grin and bear it. Happened to me a few days ago during a Silver Mantis SF. When the server finally came back 6 of the original 8 of us returned and completed it. Now keep in mind here folks we are not talking HOURS off line either... as soon as it crashes someone at NC is working to get it back. I think the day we did that SF it was down maybe 30 minutes.

It's annoying when your in the middle of something like that but they will figure it out and correct it. Now before I completely lose my mind can someone tell me an easy way to find and defeat 200 Marcone Family Bosses? It's all I need for the accolade and I have been hunting off and on for 4 days and have 75 LOL We are talking RED side here people LOL

Some will say PO, but I have found St Marts, upper right hand corner on the map (NE) before the coast with the DE mobs. There are a some buildings there with the bosses. I basically run a big loop repeatedly around those couple of blocks. I usually can get done in under an hour (or half hour - I haven't ran it in a while and forget, but it is short). If the mobs don't respawn, just hop a few blocks away and then come back.

I understand what he's upset about Wendy, and I haven't criticized anyone discussing it in the correct part of the forums when it actually crashed. But this isn't the case here. The OP wasn't making a suggestion, he was ranting. And the OP isn't an MMO virgin. He/she's been around long enough to know server instability crops up occasionally and requires maintenance. The devs don't have a magic wand they can wave that keeps the server gerbils alive and healthy all the time.


I see Penny already suggested St Marts so best of luck getting the badge completed.
