UPDATE 11:22 AM EST: We have updated all of the shards with a hot fix for QUOTE]
Since this is the Europa server, it would be nice with a CET or at least UK time on those messages
Feeling optimistic are we?Glad I just had that 2 hours nap, ill be wide awake tonight when they bring the server back up
Er - dont you mean IF?. Considering after we have waited 2 hours for another update Europa will have been down 12 hours.From what I've gathered from the other posts there seems to be have been a serious bug/exploit which is why they haven't said much about it, they will probably let us know when its fixed which makes sense.

No.. 'when' is accurate. All we need to do is stand in a circle , hold hands, close our eyes and use our will power to make it so! And if that doesnt work .. complain like true Europa'eans until it does work
Well that explains why we get lag on Europa. Were in the Asian network, thats one heck of a ping from UK.
Draconi.. no disrespect to yourself im sure your busy and all.. but telling us there is an issue isnt cutting it anymore... you obviously know what the issue is... maybe some kinda more detailed reason..... there have been people saying its other taking advantage of bugs or exploits etc... since youve taken the shards down can you not tell us if this is the case... because if it is we shouldnt be directing our greivence at you but at the greedy low lifes that use said bugs/exploits..... it may help the heart ache us europa players are feeling
(yes im laying it on thick)
I was like .. OMG still down .. no wai! but then i realised even if they told me that circuit junction A26 had burnt out or that sub program code line 302 is causing a feedback loop, that really it would make absolutely no difference what-so-ever, shard will be up when its up.Draconi.. no disrespect to yourself im sure your busy and all.. but telling us there is an issue isnt cutting it anymore... you obviously know what the issue is... maybe some kinda more detailed reason..... there have been people saying its other taking advantage of bugs or exploits etc... since youve taken the shards down can you not tell us if this is the case... because if it is we shouldnt be directing our greivence at you but at the greedy low lifes that use said bugs/exploits..... it may help the heart ache us europa players are feeling
Nice though one would be, they may not have one yet - could be some bizarre hardware driver/SA coding clash, or a component that can't handle some of the extra data transfer, or a link with the new sub-server handling SA not being quite compatible with the existing stuff, or something else entirely...
Although I understand your points. I like many other just find this whole situation unacceptable.
Its not just the lack of explanation, its the time it took for them to even acknowledge an issue and the sporadic updates since then. I very much doubt Chrissay is working on the situation for example so it how hard would it be for her to keep us more informed then we have been already.
Because the people fixing it are busy fixing it and not calling in every 5 minutes to give status reports that wouldn't even help anyway. Seriously, moaning on UHall alot isn't going to make them get it fixed faster. Just accept you can't play today.
Why should I accept that when its something I pay for?
FACE IT YOU HATE THE FACT YOU CANT PLAY TOO!
Then I'll have to get up early and do stuff with the kids. I'd rather stay up late and playyou can go sleep
the day is come to the end and there is no chance to play until tomorrow... so, let's go all to sleep and let's try tomorrow
Sounds like you're more addicted than me Maz
I'm worried about my plants!Sounds like you're more addicted than me Maz
I completely agree, it's not right - although I avoid 'unacceptable' since my only option other than accept it is give up UO, and that's unlikely
Ahhh, you see, I don't remember those days! Sounds like its a good job I didn't play thenI completely agree, it's not right - although I avoid 'unacceptable' since my only option other than accept it is give up UO, and that's unlikely
It certainly should not happen - there are bigger games out there, with larger numbers of, and probably more complex, server clusters running them, but UO seems to have more system problems than all it's competitors added together.
But.... I remember what UO customer support on these sort of issues used to be, and believe me, compared to those days this is a flood of information. Could be better, certainly, but it is slowly getting better.
So many things are still woefully poor - my contenders for worst being in-game support, enforcement of the ToS (gibberish though it may be, if it's there it should at least be adhered to!), and inconsistent GM actions - but I've not reached the tipping point on their handling of this 'situation', sad though it is for players to experience.
Nope! Im the same!
EuropeansI don't care about that, I just want to play with some half decent skills characters.
you can always make another character on Atlantic as it seems to be up first all the time.I completely agree, it's not right - although I avoid 'unacceptable' since my only option other than accept it is give up UO, and that's unlikely

But are your plants worried about you?!
