A life without City Of Heroes, a life where we aint the hero that saves the world and a place where we have made many allies along the way . . . . . .

12 hour downtime and 6 hours forum downtime . . . . . . may we all hold hands and make it through this dark day, a day where there are no heroes.

Maybe as part of your "decent into insanity" you could cosplay as various player characters and jump around as if you're a character running around in the game so that we can pretend the UStream screen is the game's screen. This might help some people cope with the withdrawal symptoms.

Was it this morning? May just be a glitch with their site. I know that I haven't been on moderating anyone.

Edit: Back in. Thanks, Z!


Double edit: Oh, hai. Double First After Red Name! *raises trophy*

At some point I anticipate that I'll be singing "Send in the Clowns" followed by a Broadway review of my favorite musicals.

It's "Send in the [Mastermind] Clowns."

Been in there already today, and so far it's been pretty much as predicted last night...

Player1: Are the servers back up yet?
Player2: When will the servers be back up?
Player3: How long until the servers are back up?
Player4: (long rambling story about their character and a carton of pistachio ice cream)
Player5: WHY ARE THE SERVERS DOWN???
Player6: Are the servers back up yet?

All in all, still a fun thing to watch.

Well hopefully you people will have a battle royal on the Ustream around 10pm BST, Z vs Positron, the fight of the century, winner takes all.

Can the plucky Z claim Positrons place and become lead dev for the incarnate system or will he be forced out of his Community Manager job and become just a regular mod.

Find out soooooonn

Today we experience a flippin' 12 hour downtime wtf. This is my only day off this week and I won't be able to play again for about 10 days. I was looking forward to playing today, but I guess that is shot. If it takes 12 hours to merge NA and EU server lists, you are not ready to do it. I have done some database work and this seems like along time for a simple program. I have always supported the devs, but this time I call bullcrap!

You're upset that it's been announced for at least a week, two weeks, that this was going to be happening and you had time to prepare/know?

Actually if I'm not mistaken all the physical servers (even the "EU" ones) are already co-located in the US. The EU servers started out over in Europe but they were moved here. This server list merge is just a logical/GUI move, not a physical one.
