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.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
i am gong to agree with you on this one it happens. will get fixed when it gets fixed.

if it gets rushed than problem not fixed than more downtime.

I think reasonable people will handle a day or two of downtime to fix issues, but EVERY WEEK? I can see why these downtime threads are getting nastier over time.

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)


[/ QUOTE ]

Sure something like this has happened before! A month or so ago as a matter of fact!

[/ QUOTE ]

Don't forget early 2003 when AV was down the better part of a week due to some unkown issue. Was one of the few times I actually got credit for the days the game was down.

i have one question ...( please dont bash on this question) somebody was saying that free players are just as important, i agree 100% but i guess i most have missed out when they were talking abt free players. why are the just as important IF they cant do anywhere unless its like in a res or welcome house. how does that make somebody wanna keep playing and pay for it? im NOT nagging i just was never told why they went abt it like that.

again im not trying to nag or be a smart a**

The servers are down right now. There is an easy way to tell if the problem you are having is your computer or a Sims problem. Go up and click on Sims Online Stratics to get to the home page. On the right top area of that page you will see an area that shows Server Status. If it does not show the name (EALand or Test Center 3) and a green circle beside it, then consider that game to be down at the moment.

If I'm wrong about any of this feel free to correct me. It's just what I've deduced in my short whirlwind of Sim Adventures.

Has there been any new updates. I am telling you all they need to designate one person to update us more often. We are paying for this, I know it is beta, I know what beta means, I work with customers all the time, I know with out customers I wouldn't have a job. I wished they would think about that. Updates would be nice and the least they could do for their paying customers.

No you won't. I hope it comes back soon too!

To everyone: Still no ETA.

I'm gonna go work on the simoleans stuff and other things. Don't freak out if I don't say "No ETA" every five mins for a while.

Sometimes it's a little delayed... but i usually check on both stratics AND tsomania for when the city is online.

Even though the city might be up a few minutes before the green lights come on, I find that when they're on, it's usually accurate.

Ok it most likely wont be up tonight. Fine take a few days thats cool with me, but let us know why. A bit more detail would be great. I think thats all most of us want. Ok its a connection thing. Well what type of connection thing. Did the connection fairy come in because she was psst at someone. Someone unplug something they shouldn't have. Like most of the people Its not that big of a deal that its down. The thing is they want to know why or alittle more details on why. I pay for my internet if it goes down fine its not the end of the world. But I like to know why. If my cable goes out the same. I want to know why. I dont see what the big deal is we pay to play this game it is down we should have some detailed info on why its down.

Because in TC3 we can do anything paying players can in EAL. Not to mention many of us are returning TSO players that paid for many months if not years, we should expect something in return for all that loyalty when the game really did go downhill and was hemoraging players every day.
