    Just a quick reminder Cryptic. You plug the power lead into the server and feed the hamster, not the other way round.

    Must be a bad time for them right now if it takes this long--and I can sympathize.

    What peeves me more than the downtime is the too-clever-by-half sniping of the several sarcastoles who think software development and server management are easy. The dev and net teams are working on a weekend while you guys sit back in your comfy chairs and fire off half-witty japes at their expense.

    I, too, am working this weekend to ensure that my customer base, along with my entire team, guaranteeing 24-hour coverage during a critical cutover period. I happen to be off-shift right now, but I'll be driving in the middle of the night in to the office to make sure that all is well and that we can react instantly should an issue arise. (Just to be clear: I don't work for Cryptic; my team doesn't write computer games.)

    I think that a little respect for the professionals providing you with a head start purely as a courtesy would go a long way. If you think that having paid money guarantees that the power will stay on, or that the water main won't break, or that the toaster will always toast, you should re-examine your thought processes. (Not only that, but the 30 days you get for buying the game doesn't include the head start--technically, you haven't paid for this time at all because your per-license price is the same as everyone else's.)

    lol well I was charged an extra $5.00 for the preorder ontop of the game price so I did pay for this time, not that I'm complaining about the down time it happens I'm a network engeneer and a server farm isn't an easy thing to keep online. it's not their falt. but I'd still like a few cp for having to deal with my insanly boaring life while I'm stuck off line lol j/k

    Now this is going to be a long queue.... seriously long since no one is going to be logging off right after they logged on.

    Why it took so long:

    One of their propeller head technicians went all "I CAN"T TAKE THIS S*** ANYMORE!!!"

    And ran off.

    One Two Three Four!

    Chewing out a rhythm on my bubble gum
    The sun is out and I want some
    It's not hard, not far to reach
    We can hitch a ride
    To Rockaway Beach

    Up on the roof, out on the street
    Down in the playground the hot concrete
    Bus ride is too slow
    They blast out the disco on the radio

    Rock Rock Rockaway Beach
    Rock Rock Rockaway Beach
    Rock Rock Rockaway Beach
    We can hitch a ride
    To Rockaway Beach (X2)
