Obligatory "I survived the 13.5 hour downtime thread"

It was great fun talking with everyone in Ustream while the servers were down, though! Glad I got to talk to a lot of you, lots of interesting people in our community

Hi MoltenSlowa,

We're really glad you could join us! Thank you all for your patience as we worked to bring the servers back online. It was a real pleasure for all of us in the community team to be able to interact with you.

All the best,
~Freitag

Where's my T-Shirt?

It was fun, especially your story about your bright lime green fancy party pants, it made me chuckle.

Also doesn't Dr Aeon look slightly terrified in this picture:

Think I saw about 5 minutes of the ustream, between taking family to the hospital, getting prescriptions, and rushing right from there to work.

Ah well...

Remember that if you're a European player, and there was a collision with your account name, you will need to pre-pend "EU" to your account name. So, if you account name was: "Friday13" before, and there was a collision, your new account name is: "EUFriday13".

All the best!

Can we please have the ability to recolour our globals? I'd rather not be stuck with a grunge coloured one for the rest of my days =[

The UStream was very cool, it was a shame the chat box was so utterly buggified to make and techy cry in distress and required multiple relogs and such.

Also, the spam was just...well, lets just say I may need some anger management after all this....seriously... *sigh*

I survived the downtime. My global didn't. *Sigh*

I had a blast, apparently for the fact that I kept saying stuff that the devs found amusing. Well, Z and War Witch got on me for reminding them of Chik-Fil-A. lol

Was also amused that my comment about a mastermind summoning clones of TheNet was met with "I do nobody's bidding!", and he even pronounced my name right. Haha. Thanks for sticking with us for so long guys, and I was glad to get to know some of the other community members I didn't really know much about.

P.S. He's totally Arbiter Background.

I survived and thoroughly enjoyed the show playing in the backgroud of my desktop while working most of the day.

Was a bit frustrated at the chat interface not working in Firefox and being locked out of the conversation & trivia contests til I got home and switched rigs/setups but was still fun.

I survived US Stream !

BackFire, the chat box hated IE and Chrome too, so it wasn't just you was a right royal pain in the skit plate, I tell ya...

I survived - and it was fun too

Here, Freitag, this is for you:

I'm not sure if I survived...check, check...oh, it looks like I did!

Thanks again to everyone for coming out today and hanging out in Ustream, and being so patient with the downtime today. We had a whopping 1500 users tuned in at one point, and we hope that all of you had a good time. I think I can speak for everyone who jumped into the stream at the studio we had a blast talking to you guys, and time flew by.

I also hope that some (if not all) of you are popping into other servers now that we've gone global, and getting to know the wider community. I'll probably be jumping into some servers tonight as well to say "Hey!"

Thanks again to everyone for tuning in, and remember that if you missed today's stream it was recorded and is up for viewing on Ustream. I do recommend watching it in bursts, though. And please definitely get out there and check out some of the formerly across-the-pond servers! We're a big global community now!

I managed to survive it. Even my global remained intact.

Also, Beastyle, given your love of all things Transformers perhaps you might want to check this out. I whipped it up a couple of years ago and it's gone down rather well.

how's this work now? first post after a redname that was reply/quoting my own post...?


derp.

I thought the UStream webcast was a lot of fun. The chat part kept slowing things up for me, but then I figured out we can watch the video on Facebook without the chat and the slowness disappeared.

It was fun getting to see so many different Devs throughout the day. And I was really glad that you guys recorded it so I could see the parts/Devs I missed. Thank you for doing this chat, everyone!

Hi Haggard!

We're glad you enjoyed it. We're also very grateful to the developers for taking the time to come by and chat. We're really happy we're able to record the whole stream, so that people who weren't able to make all or part of the cast are able to see what they missed.
