This is useless data unless there is an interpretation, to form a semblance of information
I agree. Useless FUD (probably from someone who doesn't understand where Windows really puts its local files). Let's stay focussed here. One person claiming to miss some filess has NOTHING to do with the server being off-line (even if his files really were missing).
I would be happy to come work for pwe and do what your company has failed to do.
1. Setup Mirror Servers Worldwide(Cloud For Non-Techies)
2. Fire the patch writers / Network Admins
3. Trash the crappy launcher (big problem)
4. Trash the pando media booster (bigger problem)
5. Spend money made on infrastructure upgrades
6. Dont nerf or punish members instead reward them for dealing with previous company fails.
7. Dont release new content until other issues are fully fixed.
8. Move from file based databases that require lots of file locks and defrags to MYSQL.
9. Dont BS the memberbase.
Anyone else wish to add to the list?
I agree with 1,3,4,5,8,9...

There are hidden files, and files that are in the game itself that are made into code, and then hard coded into other files, but mostly the exe file has those files hard coded.
Well even if Brandon is on a tour in Europe, there's suppose to be an assistant community manager taking over for him when he's not available. I mean that's just plain good business. No telling us ANYTHING is a sure fire way to drive away the player base.
Now granted, I mean this isn't the worst downtime yet. the worst ever on record was when another MMO that shall not be named went down for 3 days.. with no posting and no notice and no updates whatsoever. That.. that's the longest on record. I'm surprised people even bothered to come BACK after that.
Ah well. I was going to enjoy some more romulan interaction.. er I mean. Romulan Federation interaction.. because it's not like the romulans are definitely their OWN faction. We end up working for either the KDF or the Federation. Slave labor, with a price! Whoo!
ya, but its SOMETHING...and since most people plan in advance skill training, 50k sp went to an extra half days possible loss for those unable to plan ahead.
I'll take a days worth of refined dil. We've lost twice that in combined forced down times and server "oopsies"...thats not much to ask.
Temporal Servers are a heavily guarded secret that is only available to certain top secret government organizations. They are the only type of server that will give a countdown to unexpected server crashes.
Well, fortunately for anyone that actually works in IT, we know by what you just posted you have no idea what your talking about.
That others listened and went "Ohh YEaa" proves the Lemming Theory beyond a doubt.

Okay, I'll bite. Which item(s) in the list do you take issue with exactly, unless your problem is that he left out "fire anyone in mid-level management associated with QA or SDLC"?
Or do you perhaps not know what those acronyms stand for, given that you think he doesn't know what he's talking about? If the two of you were sitting in one of my meetings, and he presented that list, to have you counter with "he has no idea what he's talking about", my recommendation to our collective boss would be to replace you.
But please, do tell me how that makes me a lemming. For the life of me, I can't believe the number of people who a) apologize for Cryptic's incompetence, and b) attack those who don't (which is far, far worse).

Tell me then, why I, as a gamer, and having played probably 25 different MMO's, have seen online games that pretty much has everything he just posted?
Well, fortunately for anyone with a bit gaming experience, we know by what you just posted that you are either a really poor IT guy or you have just given up..
BTW what the hell has Pando with StO to do?! Get that filthy TRIBBLE off my comp! (Well it already is but yeah)
So how long is the server going to be down? I see no emergency maintenance notice or and scheduled maintenance notice. So what is going on? Did everyone go home?????????
PWE_BRANFLAKES is touring PWE facilities in EUROPE server down issues is unknown to him. Lets hope hes an early waker or will get a phone call shortly. But They are unaware of server issue. I havent tried tribble server that may or may not be up. If tribble is down then good chance neverwinter is down as well. But our time should be COMPENSATED. Still waiting on tribble weekend for Rommie weekend. But yeah. Hmmm maybe a scimitar hehehe.

Not those files.

Those are just the files you see.

None of the above means broken.
I blame Big-O because he didn't include servers in his health care plan... :rolleyes:
