    Nope. New dev made a wicked costume set. Things worked on in the background. More devs hired on for the Cryptic North team in Washington.

    We might be getting somewhere. Though I admit its taking a long damn time.

    It takes a long time to do development. Now using WoW as an example, the time it takes for them to release say one of their quick updates, it had been worked on by a second team for at least 3 months prior to the last patch being released, before actually being handed off to being worked on by the live team, and the second team went to work on a new update. It takes a while, a lot more time than people would think, to develop large scale content for a game.

    Wasn't even talking to your post, I already knew your post wasn't serious. But as it lacked humor and funny it didn't rate on my funny meter since it's one of those jokes that's done to death :tongue:

    (my contribution to the stupid comments selection)
    The worst bit about when the game is offline.
    it keeps doing it while I'm asleep so I miss out.:frown:
    I only find out it wasn't working the next day on the forums, by then it's working again.

    Yeah, when the servers actually do crash, it sucks.

    I was poking fun at all of the recent "game is dying" threads though.

    That works for large scale content development. And that's content heavy expansions that come out every once in a while.

    We got one expansion for a game that lacks content in general as a launch title. We haven't gotten one ever since. Events don't count as large scale content, even when defining large scale content on a Cryptic level.

    It's a GIF, the hosting website is using MOD REWRITE trick to redirect requests for .JPG to .GIF files. Presumably to get past certain websites and forums not allowing posting of animated images.

    I can assure you that from what I hear they are investing a little money into CO for once to attempt to make some content that may allow the game to last for a while.

    Just sit tight and wait!

    Probably the "Careers" link on Cryptic's homepage. When they're hiring software engineers in Seattle, that's Cryptic North, whose main job is apparently CO.

    The thread should have ended right there. People should have felt enough shame to shut down their ability to type. But here we are, page whatever.

    Then again, I assumed it was a server outage that I missed. :biggrin:

    But no, there were like four other doom threads going before I first posted this, so I decided to have fun with it.

    Nope , it was Kojiro doing a great windup because of the usual Doom threads.


    OH, I'm not kidding about the server downs. I think only 2 have ever been while I'm awake, most are over night for me.
