Hahha, love that guy!Giorgio and I know who broke the login servers
I almost forgot this:ultima online is closed
See!!! This what happens when you don't feed them organic food. They DIE from the chemicals, preservatives, GMOs, and pesticides! Mesanna stop skimping on our hamsters' food, shop at Whole Foods!
Sure it is always someone's prime time, however, if it was prime time in the USA it would be fixed within the hour, when it isn't like this outage has been repeatedly for the last week, it goes on for hours and hours. There is NO other factor when it comes to being out for so long. The 'time of day' is the total reason for it being out so long.Yep I am sure it is highly frustrating..... But it is always someone's prime time in a global game.....or always someone's preferred play time. Unfortunately when doing this stuff you have to look at more factors then just ...what time is it.
That's all very well, but if you run a subscription paying 24/7 online game your customers are entitled to 24/7 service. As to your point about script mining, it is the LOGIN servers that are down, The scripters are no doubt ingame happily scripting away. It is the players who cannot log in.Yes ..it is hard to keep employees happy and productive when you drag them out of bed at 230 am because 6 people in Tasmania can't script mine. As I said yes it is frustrating.... But it is just one piece of the puzzle you have to consider when managing a team.
Its also midday in Europe, so i think it might affect abit more than 6 people...Yes ..it is hard to keep employees happy and productive when you drag them out of bed at 230 am because 6 people in Tasmania can't script mine.

I was using an extreme example to illustrate a point....of course there might be more then 6 people affected.....but it is all about numbers. And yep sometimes when you operate on a shoe string budget you have to make those tough decisions .....experience shows that customers have a short memory once the servers come back upIts also midday in Europe, so i think it might affect abit more than 6 people...
And what exactly are the other pieces of the puzzle? What rubbish. If they offer the game on a global basis there should ALWAYS be someone monitoring it 24/7.Yes ..it is hard to keep employees happy and productive when you drag them out of bed at 230 am because 6 people in Tasmania can't script mine.

ROFLMAO....no one ever said life is fair....but life is all about choices...sometimes yours and sometimes others. Try not to take it personal, I am sure it is frustrating...but come on now...it is just a game! And yes unfortunately places/shards with lower populations get less service especially when there is a huge time zone differential from the tech team. I am sorry you find that frustrating...but that is just business. You have a finite pool of resources to spread over infinite possible issues... it's the balancing game all managers play.And what exactly are the other pieces of the puzzle? What rubbish.

It goes down once, ok, takes a while to fix, can forgive em as it is unexpected. It goes down twice, OK there is a problem, needs seriously looking at, and monitoring. Goes down three times..... no excuses and bugger if they have to get out of bed. They take my money each month, I want to play in prime time when most people wish to play. Not to mention the European shards are also in the middle of the day.
And how damn patronizing is your post re those of us who live down here and the insinuation that we are just a bunch of script miners. Talk about total inconsideration for those of us who have suffered NO service for three nights in less than a week of not being able to play.
If they want to give those not in the USA a second rate service due to lower population numbers etc then charge us Less per month to play. As it is we pay MORE per month to play.
