infinity just went pop to
Kittens ftw
Doooooooooooooooooom (tm).
Forse: lvl 22 FF/NRG Defender
Tam Krannock: lvl 37 Shield/Mace Tanker
Toppa Grace: lvl 25 Fire/Ice Blaster

Red Commissar: I'm in the Queen Mother. Only more awesome. And alive
Everything's falling apart, basically.
Union was first to go down, then Defiant, then Freedom, then global channels, then Infinity, etc.
As Manipulative Maiden said just before they died, "DOOOOOOOOOOOOOM".

Probably connected to the long downtime earlier today.

Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
There is an official announcement of 'No ETA' on the News board. I've been off work all day and I'm now at the point of being bored out of my skull...
@Wolfybane
-Defiant Server-
H: Wolfsbane(50 MA/ReGen), Orthoclase(50 Stone/Axe), Dreamhunter (50 Ill/Storm)
Daybreak(50 Fire/Kin) Tygrrforce (50 Hooman PB), Tygrrstryke(50 NRG/NRG), EbonWolf(50 WS)
V: Spektor(50 Spiddy)
Seems to be similar to last week when they upgraded the server hardware. Just hope they fix everything quicker this time.
Wibble.

Same here. The frequent and long downtimes (and we're told to expect more), and even more so the problems in their wake, can't be good for attracting players to the game when they hear about how much it's down. I expect the first few days of Freedom to be messy too, if the first day of VIP beta is any indication.

I guess they need to put more vitamins in their server hamster chow...

While it is annoying, I would rather these hiccups happen now and get fixed than after Freedom launches, since that will undoubtedly have its own bugs that need fixing.
@Winter. Because I'm Winter. Period.
I am a blaster first, and an alt-oholic second.
I thought this was gonna be another merge the servers complaint.

They just said another 2.5 hours downtime for ALL live servers . . . . frankly these last 2 "upgrades" have been ****.
[pardon my french but these last two upgrades have done nout 'cept more downtime, a whole thursday downtime more or less]
@Damz Find me on the global channel Union Chat. One of the best "chat channels" ingame!
Let's not panic. It could be something minor, like one of the Devs tripping over a power cable or maybe a mouse has chewed through some insulation. I'm sure it's just a small glitch.
Maybe Freedeom is so awesomely coded the servers are too excited to contain its awesomeness...
Yeah....
Sooo... This new hardware, who the hell built it? Lego?

The problem is these hiccups are going to happen then, too. Frankly, these last couple of weeks have made me lose confidence in the Freedom i21 launch, entirely, and I expect the game to have major issues, especially as the free-to-play floodgates open on the more populated servers.|

These last couple of weeks have shown a systematic problem with the way they go about rolling out updates and then testing them. Six hour maintenance windows should be ample time to get the hardware/software upgrades in place and run stress tests before ushering the systems live. That is, after all, why they've posted extended maintenance articles - so we'd know it would take longer than usual. Instead, both times, they've brought them up a little bit earlier than posted only to have to take them down, again, for emergency issues that should have been caught beforehand. It's better to wait a little longer on a posted extended maintenance to ensure everything goes right than it is to bring it up earlier only to have to anger your customers/players by having to take them all down again for another round of near 3 hour maintenance.
Sorry, but this isn't that other MMO with millions upon millions of people per server so they can't really hide behind the "we didn't know this issue was going to happen until we went live" excuse.
Partial Character List:
LENINA 198-DELTA - 50+3 DP/Kin Corruptor (Main) / Captiosus - 50+3 Energy/Energy Blaster
Highlands.Hellraiser - 50+1 DS/Fire Tanker / SpazRat - 50 Claw/SR Stalker
Col. Gregor Aktaybr - 45 Robots/Time MM
Union then Defiant then Freedom - all gone grey to me.
Now I don't truck with them thar facebooky twittery things when the official forums are here... so any chance of an update on what's happening?
By my mohawk shall ye know me!
