My techs spent the last 7 hours rebuilding a single server for the airfield I work at. Hopefully, the server stays up. What you must realize is that servers are not easy to work on. When they **** the bed, it can take days to repair. That's why good IT's get paid soo much.
As for the updates, im sure they are getting the same update I gave the Airfield manager: "the servers are down, we are working on it. I will call you when we bring them up"
It sucks you don't get to play UO, but I assure you that it sucks much more for the multiple technicians that are frantically working to repair what ever went wrong.
