Any update on servers 'dying'?

You may want to read the user agreement. Service is not guaranteed - here, or on any other game.
I wonder if they'll extend our PAID FOR account by a day, being as we havent been able to play a game that we have PAID for. This is hapening more and more often now

Why?
Because it's the real world, and "stuff happens." If this were actually a *vital* service, there would be, instead, uptime guarantees and penalties. But since nobody's life support equipment is running on COH ("No, really! Need h34l0r!") ... go read a book, watch a movie or otherwise relax.

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.

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.

(Xbox LIVE went down =over the Christmas holidays= a few years ago. For several days. You have no idea what panic looks like until you've been through something like that.)

They all laughed at me when I said I wanted to be a comedian.
But I showed them, and nobody's laughing at me now!

The problem is not that the servers are down, it's that they won't tell us exactly what's going on.
It's this kind of crap that makes me glad I waited until close to free-time before paying. I couldn't imagine having to deal with being in the dark like this for 6 years.

Wow, i wish that i could be as relentless in defence of the people in charge as you are. You're wonderful.

Your comment draws no surprise that you come off as yet another self-righteous, self-absorbed techie? It's simply a matter of people venting their frustrations with this game and it's "many" prolonged down-times. Your need to respond in such a vindictive and denigrating way clearly shows you have no character. Hopefully you reside in one of the less-popluated servers.

Seriously, though, I find it hilarious how people rant and whine about stuff like this. If you ever bothered to check, you'd find that I can be a very vocal critic of the Devs on a number of topics. I also realise that my technical knowledge is pretty minimal, and I can't even being to imagine how complex the server farms they run are.
This is nothing to do with 'being a suckup' or 'brown-nosing the Devs'. I will honestly laugh at anyone who would ever call me a 'Dev fanboi'. This is a matter of the servers are down. They will be back up when they are fixed. I know I sure as hell don't have even a fraction of the skill needed to do anything to do with servers, and I bet the vast majority of whiners here don't either.
It's common sense. But, hey;

When maintenance runs all day, we as customers, have a very valid complaint. Your dev apologetic attiude is only adding to the problem here.

I would wager that's about as close to any 'exactly what happened' post you'd get. Do you honestly think you'd understand if they told you exactly what was wrong? If so, you're smarter than I am...

Man, threads like this make my day I love how people can disagree with someone on the internet, and suddenly they know everything about a complete stranger they've never met before (mostly because they live the other side of the Pond) and are making judgemental comments about them.
Ah, humanity. Never change, you're too amusing.

I'm pretty sure you have no idea wht the phrase Common Sense means.
Posting a complaint about the game servers being down all day is valid. Your posts are nothing more than attempts to belittle others for offering their feedback for the downtime.
You are more of a problem than anyone else. Shut up and allow others to cry and moan, and it will end before you know it.
You have a sad life if reading a thread on the internet makes your day.

That is not "Dev apologetic." I'm as affected by it as you are. It's pointing out a *fact* to someone arguing for recompense. I know, awful thing those, facts.

And nope, it's the evening. It's an amusing way to wind down, watching other people make prats of themselves

It's pointless to try and reason with people who are complaining. It's akin to throwing water balloons at a wall to try and make a hole. Just let the wall be there. It's not hurting you.

In the words of a distinguished gentleman with more technical skill than I, "Woob woob woob! (Nyuk nyuk nyuk!)"

My pointing that out once is not hurting you either, and yet you feel the need to start insulting me and calling me a "dev apologist."

So you needed to post why?
Because it's the internet? Come on, Bill, we both know that common sense got banned here years ago
