    I posted a link which also gave the time, date, person that posted it and so fourth. People should be reading that thread (which is why I linked it) for actual updates not this thread as it'll get convoluted with people posting the facebook/twitter updates for the next 20 minutes when the downtime is supposed to end in 30 (hopefully)

    Also, if I was trolling you wouldn't ever know it ;)

    Oh yes, we ban people for telling the truth all the time! :rolleyes:

    It's HOW you present your information not the content of your information that tends to get people warned/banned.

    nice u wasted so much time in your sig - i do not see it anyway :)

    We really need a new community manager, smirk is terrible at his job!

    Smirk is awesome! Like, have you ever watched his livestreams? He's one hell of an entertainer with an awesome sense of humor!

    Yea, he could keep us a bit more up to date and informed on what's happening with updates etc. but he sure as hell aint "Terrible"! He's a breath of fresh air IMO. But that's just me... Me: Someone who has a little patience and doesn't see being kept in the dark about a few weekly GAME updates detrimental and the End of all Things in the real world! :rolleyes:

    I uh, well, I stopped watching the streams because of Smirk. They could have a five minute stream where they were giving away ten copies of everything to everybody that was there for at least two minutes of the five minutes, and I simply couldn't do it.

    How does a rainstorm effect server updating?

    Plus I thought they had servers in a location other than the Cryptic building.

    Because the staff were stuck waiting for taxis to take them back to the office from the pub? :D

    Cryptic employees drinking coffee during maint -> Lightning storm -> Lightning strikes nearby -> An employee is scared brickless -> Spills coffee on a console -> Extended maint

    Obviously.

    All it would take is a few second power outage during an update to make them have to start over. This is what MIGHT have happened? Who knows?

    I have watched his live streams and i wouldn't call them entertaining at all, but that doesnt matter. What matters is he keeps us informed on whats going on with the game, which he does a terrible job of.

    God forbid their infrastructure is that ill-protected. I doubt it's that bad.

    Reminds me of a company I worked for once who's developer support server was an old PC under a person's desk that would occasionally be kicked on and off.

    Good Times.

    And this, seriously, is why we need an *open* maintenance thread.

    Also, the console explodes, killing a nearby redshirt.

    That would not be the case, the servers are on UPSs for this reason. Forgot to click the quote checkbox.

    I doubt even the all mighty Cryptic can control what happens to the local power supplier due to Storms or whatever! lol :P

    Do we know of a time frame that we should be looking for the server to come back online? Its very inconvenient having to wait around with very little information. It would be one thing to let us know that we wouldn't be able to log in until 5pm PST, just let us know, so that we can plan the rest of our day. I for one have the day off, and was hoping to actually level up, but it looks like that's not going to happen anytime soon.
