Why are the servers offline?

Just curious. You at Cryptic elected to take them down, and I want to know why.

You see, there isn't a whole lot of time where many of us can play the game. Weekend evenings represent the main time we can play for extended periods.

Yet, you chose... yes, you chose... to take the servers down this evening.

I was just curious what your reasoning was behind this. Just looking for an explanation. Thank you.

    Very well. Then why weren't the servers simply restarted? Why are they still down?

    Presumably, our offering $15 a month to Cryptic is for an assurance that they won't take down the servers at the slightest provocation.

    Because they decide to do the scheduled maintenance now rather than taking down the servers a second time.

    So yeah... You are getting your moneys worth.

    I just downloaded a patch, but it says I'm not allowed to enter the server.

    Maybe it's because they are not done with the maintenance yet? (rhetorical question)

    scheduled maintenance in 3 hours... servers crash before then, they descide to do the maintenance then? I dont see why people are complaining... honestly, theres no need to take the servers down more than needed.

    since they were already down it would take less time than if they were to take it down later then people would complain that they should have done it earlier when the server crashed.

    They banned you with the recent patch.

    That's why there is so much complaining and nagging. All women. ;)

    indeed, cryptic's servers crashed and they decided "hey TRIBBLE it let's just get this patch in now"

    it's the nature of MMOs at launch. some minor server hickups as well as frequent patching.

    you're paying for a month of time what you'd pay to go see a god damned MOVIE in an eveing, seems to me you're getting your moneis worth

    How about if they did everything to just keep the servers up, no matter how buggy it was and never tried to patch anything up or have any maintenances. So that people could play?

    What I'm saying I rather see Cryptic actually fixing and tuning things up and adding patches that add content/fix bugs even if it meant having servers down for few hours.
