I wonder how many login attempts each minute the site has just now.......
Perhaps the easter event is a maintanance event ................................
Do you feel the change? You know this event will be awesome - you are eager to do it. But then again - you also know that BB really want it for us to be a great event, so they take the time to avoid some of the bugs. We are hooked no matter how many complaints - BB got us. Problaby because we know the game just gets better and better - challeging us more and more. My compliments to EctoRune - the baseball bat thingy....I laughed for some time. ;)
humpty dumpty fell off the wall
Whether a game is free or not at the basic level is totally irrelevant. It's a business and we are the customers. Problems arise in any business but the key has always been informing the customers. It's really not hard and makes a MASSIVE difference. Nobody expects BB to never have an issue, but we are entitled to expect some service in the way of just being given an update. We play for fun and for me this is right in the middle of the evening for me. I want to get on with the event as do many. I just want to know whether to keep trying every 5/10 minutes or go and watch TV for a couple of hours. Anyone in any industry can give their customers an update, why can't BB?
Brilliant! ha haQuote:

Despite all the testing that they'll do to make sure these things go smoothly (and i'm not talking the tso testing we log into, they'll have at least half a dozen test environments), there are problems that can crop up when going to the live environment. They first have to find out exactly what the problem is, then whats causing the problem, then fix it, test it, maybe if the first fix doesn't work there's more finding, fixing, testing. It takes time. But you can be sure all the devs are working hard to get it back live.
No information leads to frustration, as Grahaml says if we were told it would take another hour I would go do something else and come back then.
QUESTION: Longer than who expected? I warned my guild not to bother trying to log on until after 10 am last night. Quite possibly longer than projected or schedualed, but saying the delay is unexpected is going a little far.
I mean no disrespect by this in any way, simply stating an observation. This isn't a problem limited to BlueByte, many games face irregular maintenance times, it simply goes with the business. Although I could wish we would get a gift for the time lost on the easter event, maybe some free eggs,.. or even better a few of those egg hunt buffs to use on friends, hint hint wink wink*
Very Respectfully,
BenFranklin
can someone please wake me up when the game is back on going back to bed
Yup same here, cant get to play
That was on the loginpage since Monday, if you had bothered to read it.Quote:

Is it possible for someone to explain for what reason that was done and why that thread was closed?
Do you see as many revenue-generating ads on TSO as on FB/Google/Twitter ?Quote:

No.
better processes comes from industrialisation.
industrialisation comes from the necessity of improvement linked to the increased market/scale the product has to target.
If you bake your own bread, you can vary recipe/time/method every day.
Your local baker produces more bread so has better processes, but quality of the bread may vary.
A regional plant manufacturing bread for a local chain of supermarket has significantly better processes, and each day bread taste the same.
A company owning several plants manufacturing bread for a national chain of supermarket has even better better processes, and each day bread taste the same.
Well, for TSO, BB is still a caring/loving local bread maker.
We love the game, it's infinitely better than mass produced erzatz, and it's free.
So you can't have it all :)
i hope it won't be so long as on the germans servers , took till 15:10 i heard .
I love the part of the message that says 'Thanks for your patience and understanding'. Is that in anticipation that we are patient & understanding? Think BB misunderstood our lack of both lol
Well, yours anyway :)
*sips his brew patiently, and understands that these things happen*
no need to rush...there will be many rewards during the easter event ... let them do their job and lets hope, no more problems will persist :) i am refreshing in every two minutes by the way ...
I complain:
should have ended 0600, now time is 0956, -still not working...
regarding the pricing of 70g per egg
everyone knows prices are nuts before and after event and what is posted as a sell price is not always a realistic price. thinking u can sell 100's of eggs at thes prices is just an illusion at best
Wish I hadn't got up early to logon this morning! Nobody has a problem with extended maint but it'd be good if they advised the window time correctly so that thousands of people aren't wasting their time.
Since i cannot log on I'll take a minute to chat.
I have played Many different browser-games and been doing so almost since the first ones started. Some was free, some pay as you play and some just crazy expensive .
I loved playing war-games and that meant allot of online time just to stay alive. I ended up living online. almost got me divorced and gave me heart attack from the stress. Then i found TSO. My old offline fav game. This meant easier online schedules, no rushing to save my towns or waking up in middle of the night to send out attacks. I come as i want and go as i want. my little island keeps working on its own and when ready i take on the odd adventure. perfect timetable and very manageable.
I thank BB for bringing TSO online. I love the game. I love the friends i made. I especially enjoy the different events.
I rather prefer BB to take proper time and precautions to sort out problems than struggling to play afterwards because it was rushed.
Looking forward to Easter. And don't forget to sell me them eggs guys. ;)
I HAVE BEEN TRIED FOR THE LAST 3 HOURS TO CONNECT TO THE GAME AND I CANNOT....
PLEASE INFORM ME ,SO I KNOW WHAT TO DO.:mad:
Where be the global pause button that we obviously need for these vacations?
I sold 10 eggs for 600 coin yesterday, people were obviously buying at these pricesQuote:

But gc value has dropped a lot in the last months cause everyone can produce it so I dont think we will see those 12-13 prices this event, though I hope I'm wrong. You can see that by the granite price is almost tripled, silos, improved storehouses, even iron ore sells for a lot, and so on. Not to even mentioned the high price of beans, 12k gc for 1k beans I think or something. I rememebr when it was 3k gc (+/-) for 500 beans....Quote:

The Settlers Online is under maintenance and it is taking longer than expected.

This depends on how easy it is to get eggs this year, if we get more eggs from adventures, quests and explorers prizes will drop as well. This was why Pumpkins and Presents were cheapQuote:

I can log in :D
Well said, mate.
Time for the programming team to get their act together.
