Its s good one to, stop taking the servers down for "necessary maintenance as it never lasts the alloted time, i can understand if its like this week and its down for 12 hours because your upgrading hardware but when you "screw up" and something in the patch forces more downtime, just try and get it right the first time.

I know im probably going to get slated for posting this but it pisses me off as i dont have much game time as it is

I'm confused...never fix or update anything ever again? Never any maintenance? Just let the servers slowly burn themselves out over the next several weeks?

Yeah....no thanks.


There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan.

Yeah, I'm confused as well. "Necessary maintenance" generally means that it's necessary, and can't be avoided.

The game going down for maintenance > the game never being available ever again.

But it IS an idea.
It's just, y'know, bad.

You guys had just better hope I'm careful with my coffee, or this is going to become a single-player game for me real fast.

Calling it a bad idea is a compliment.

If the devs did this they'd earn the computer version of a Darwin Award.

What i meant was use the 2 hours and keep to the 2 hours or atleast try to, you didnt understand that or i didnt explain it properly also i did say this downtime is fine as they are upgrading hardware

Stuff happens. Unexpected stuff happens unexpectedly.


If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

Yeah, they DO try to keep it to 2 hours. But if something doesn't go the way they expected it to, it takes a bit longer. Unexpected problems can't be accounted for, and we shouldn't expect them to.

Tell you what, YOU go and do a better job than they are doing, and THEN you can kvetch and whine with some foundation.

Until then?

Heck, they alloted 12 hours today and used only 9. Then they said they'd have to take the servers down for a short period (I'm forgetting), and then ended up not needing to do so. That's two wins today!

What this means is that they are getting smarter about allotting time for errors. They're padding their downtime properly. Previously they weren't padding their downtime properly.

I would much rather be told downtime would be 3 hours and have it back in 2 (early!), than be told downtime would be "between one and two hours" and have it back in 2 (just squeaking under the wire there). I would much rather be told 5 hours and have it back in 3 (early!), than be told 2 hours and have it back in 3 (late).

I used to fiddle with my back feet music for a black onyx. My entire room absorbed every echo. The music was . . . thud like. The music was . . . thud like. I usually played such things as rough-neck and thug. Opaque melodies that would bug most people. Music from the other side of the fence.

We might have believed that if nearly all of your 11 posts weren't complaining about the servers.

Sorry to disappoint you but you are the only one putting on the Crying act with your bizarre suggestion that the devs should stop maintaining the servers,

and somehow magically anticipate unexpected problems before they happen.

Oh and why are you having a hissy-fit over the responses you are getting to your suggestion when you flat out admitted in your initial post that you knew it would generate controversy but you didn't care because you wanted to vent.

If you want people to take your ideas seriously as opposed to a childish rant, then you should take the time to write your idea in a clear concise manner that is easy to understand. It's not the fault of anyone responding if they don't understand what you intended to say if you didn't explain yourself clearly because you were posting incoherently.
