I think Parizad jinxed us with the original post of server going down for update and shouldn't be more then an hour.... I thought that when I read it.... but here we are 7/8 hr later... LOL.. NO MORE JINX.... but yea would be nice to know what type of issue.. connectivity issue isn't very clear I mean we all know we can't connect.. but not why we can't... Was it the update? can it be rolled back??? Will we be up tonight.. will they leave and go home and let us wonder? I mean everyone has questions... we all just looking for more clarity? Don't think that's alot to ask.... but us not getting it.. makes us all uneasy and jittery and all that.. since we are all sim attics..

starting to agree...just the other night was same thing. evenings only time to play and its down


i think we should get 247% skill speed for the same amount of time as we are down once it goes back up to make up for lost time lol

good thing is, i think i completed my first re-patterened chair for cc during all this down time!

Would it matter if we knew what type of issue? What can we do to help?
*The main answer to many of the questions in bold above are: "Who Knows?" Also, read a few posts back on what I said about timeframes.

They would let us know if they were going to keep the game closed throughout the night as they have done in the past.

I agree Wolfprince! I've been playing TSO for almost 6 years and nothing like this has ever happened in that time. Even when the game does go back up it will be late and have to work tomorrow so there goes another lost day of whatever you call it these days, (TSO or EALAND)

i think the same could be said for them, im sure they are just as commited to getting this right as we want it, you have to remember that this is a game and that like ALL games when updates happen there can be issues we can moan for hours and hours but its not going to get them moving anyfaster or get you anywhere, so if you are super unhappy and are paying then i suggest you stop paying use the free account option on TC3 and when the game is out of BETA status then maybe you might want to start paying again.
I am commited to EA-land as i was commited to TSO, and will love the game always and i thank all the guys that have worked so hard and getting to where it is, Yes there is down time but if you would rather them take the game offline untill they have it ready for full no beta version then im sure then can arrange that.

Not that it matters, nor could we be able to help.. but it would keep us from feeling as most are in all the previous post.. UPSET... it would calm peoples tempers.. just more info is all anyone here ever asks for.. as paying customers.. we should know what is going on... Sorry.. I'm not trying to whine here.. just want clarity is all.. I know they are working on it.. we all know that.. and we all know they work there butts off for us.. but, as most have stated in the past when it comes to INFO... we don't get much when there are issues like this.. it might help... as to calm peeps down some...

I am not a cheerleader by any means, I can whine and complain with the best of them. I quit back in 2005 because I had had enough but I am going to come to the defense of the Devs on this one.
I am guessing that the connectivity problems aren't something that is their fault. Devs are just what the abbreviation suggests....Developers. They are not server gurus. All was supposed to go well when they moved the servers something obviously didn't. The server guru's or a 3rd party that EA hired screwed up.
I am married to a server guru in another state that has absolutely nothing to do with EA, he has nothing to do with any part of development of anything anywhere. His job is to keep people's servers up and running.
The situation here may be completely different, but the dev's #1 job isn't to keep the servers up, they are probably pretty frustrated by something somewhat out of their control right now and they are trying to do the best they can.

You can choose to completely ignore me, I just had to listen to my husband vent about his job. He just went back to work after medical leave and had to listen to customer complaints all day because he works with so many incompetent people. It just got me thinking about all the things that go on behind the scenes that we don't understand that keep us up and running.

I don't understand how everytime you guys take down EA-Land something goes wrong and it ends up taking all day long. I don't believe you guys have ever told the truth about how long the city will be down for.

14 pages later tons of people upset angry sleepy, ticked off, oh my what fun, well it's been like 4 hours since i noticed the problem, and patiently waiting, well paitiently waiting in bed now, it's like 1030pm here and still nothing, C'mon dev's i know you's can do it! i have had my moments pages back about this being down. when i started out i think there was only like 3 pages my how fast it grows. I think they are doing great they created this game, now have it free so for those of that do pay, yes i think something should be done for us, we pay for our time to play. i'm 2nd, 3rd, 4thing, and so on the skill spike... i'd say a min of 2 hours(more would be nice) in the early morning, later afternoon and the evening and really late nite to accomondate everyone that plays different times, unlike some i'm a stay at home mom and play the most while little one is in school and there is others in time zones that would benefit too at the differnt skill spikes, i'd really like to wish for the all day skill spike but i know that won't happen.. but i think uping the skill speed is the best idea to help ease everyone's frustration when it comes back on. I'm on for the vote of giving us a couple skill(ALL DAY ::crosses fingers::)spikes, i mean the payouts are already low, and currently skilling is the most besides jobs and some houses that keep there reg visitors and what not. Ok i feel as though i'm typing and making no sense, but yes another point too i agree with while i'm thinking about it, some kind of idea of what happened would really ease alot of people as well...


<font color="red"> </font>
SKILL SPIKES
AS MUCH AS THEY WOULD GIVE WOULD BE SO AWESOME, PLUS THINK ABOUT A COUPLE OF THEM AS TO NOT EVERYONE IS ON AT THE SAME TIME! <font color="red"> </font>

Ok this is it most likely for me unless i can't sleep, but i'm hitting the hay... Good Nite everyone, hope when it does come back on there is still people awake to play.... Praying it will be all a ok when i try to get on in the morning...


Nity Nite everyone, sweet dreams, dont let the bed bugs bite.

Of course there is no ETA. Funny how though when it comes to charging our cards, it is quite instantaneous.

Well, sweet dreams. Maybe in the morning it will all be sorted out, and after you and the other devs have a nice warm cup of java, you might, JUST MIGHT, answer my dozen or so unanswered emails I have sent over the past month regarding ongoing issues with my accounts.

I'm sure the dev's can't predict the exact time limit for the city being offline.
Unexpected things happen, and causes offline time to be longer than anticipated.

Honestly... they could take the game offline for 3 whole days, and as long as things got fixed... I really wouldn't care.

People need to realize that no one is forcing you to play this game... if you have so many problems with the way things are going... then don't play.
There are probably more than enough people who are dedicated to playing this game, and are greatful for everything the dev's are trying to accomplish... so I'm sure a few cranky people cancelling their accounts isn't really going to bother anyone.

There's just way too much negativity towards this game, and it's disgusting.
There are certain things that are going on with this game that, yeah... suck... but I still find ways to enjoy playing the game... and I'm sure there are others that agree.

IT'S A GAME... it's not the end of the world if you can't play for a day, or two, or three.

And I'm sure there are 2903847 people that are going to attack me for posting this, but I really don't care


I love this game... if I complained about it as much as some people... I wouldn't be paying $10 a month to play it.
