tj been trying for last 6 day's to get on test server
Dear BB,
I have to insist that you take the following actions:
1. Clear your cache
2. Refresh
If that doesn't fix the issue then try rebooting.
Whilst I am certain that none of the above will fix your issue, I am quite happy to give you my assurances that they will, in turn this should achieve 3 things:
a) Really, really, really annoy you, because it so obviously isn't going to fix it.
b) Really, really, really annoy you because I am talking to you like a 4 year old.
c) Give you some insight as to how your players feel when they contact your support desk.
On a side note and to make a serious point. Some dude over at BB made a long post talking about how you radically changed the Easter Event this year to add "game balance". Whilst I can certainly see that game balance is something you would strive for, and whilst I can see why some of the changes were desirable form a game-play point of view, it suggests that BB have forgotten some of the fundamentals of TSO.
You see, what was better about last years event and spotted eggs was THAT THEY WORKED. Yes i know that they didn't work the first time and it took you several events (years) to make it work properly but fundamentally the advantage of the spotted egg system was that it worked. i.e That you troubleshot the issues years ago and then just reran essentially the same event. Given your inability to write new code and/or deploy it properly have BB not made a fundamental error in judgement with deciding to change each and every event every year. Does this not condemn the players to have huge in play (no-play) issues for each event whilst you troubleshoot the new code?
Like I say I am not criticizing your desire to add game balance, however surely things would run much smoother if you only recognized your weaknesses and worked around them, rather than pretending they do not exist!
In short, it is very difficult to see where the "added game balance" justified the extra risks you took with the code that subsequently blew up in your face!
No worries, its not a year in a row, at worst you would get it 1 day laterQuote:

In a word this game is just a joke
Hi Kelt x
hey phil :D x
My settlers will think that I don't care about them any more :(
Nah they are probably enjoying the peace from you :P
I need my fix. Suffering Setters withdrawl
haha! in my face!
Love your comment, and have had a hard time finding the game balance. I only played a short time so I was not here last year, but I hate that you would have to have played for years to get all the achievements, that is not game balance the way I see it.Quote:

I'm sure BB will try to 'compensate' us by offering something that might be really useful for some players and totally worthless to others, but when people like me have timed their buffs to run out after maintenance is finished, on things that they wouldn't ever dream of leaving un-buffed because of the costs involved, no amount of compensation is going to cover what I and others are losing. Obviously you cant compensate on an individual basis but it's days like this I wonder why I play a game that seems to consistently get things wrong!

im getting board waiting now been sitting here since 8am uk time :(((
u guys are so funny! x
hahaha :D
I call it a day. Can you please send me an email when (if) the game comes back online? A small link to the /promotions URL with fancy reward might do well together with the notification.
P.S. Forgot to change my signature
NOPE, can't get on there either.Quote:

Been like that for me since at least start of main server maintenance last night.
Hey god666 :D
UPDATE 13.30: We still don't have any info at this point on when the maintenance will be finished. We appreciate your patience and we will get back to you as soon as we have any news.
How can you not know what you are doing? If what you are doing is causing such a problem then the simple solution is to STOP DOING IT.
i have never know any game to have such problems like this one. your happy to take everyones money for gems but give sod all back in service
I'm with Scattybat. All my buffs will be out, as will all mines....and goodness knows what else. It will be difficult to compensate. Oh well, we just have to make do I suppose. There is not a thing in the world we can do about it.
You sure about that....should have got those gems a while ago if that's the case....hmmmm...
for once i dont even know why i was and have been waiting to get in the game since 7:30 then remembered it was maintenance so though ahh give it a hour try again then been here since on and off keep playing on FB when i get to bored lolQuote:

Same here lulu :)
So why, given I've been playing every day for about 3yrs with the exception of a week off abt 355 days ago, is it saying I have about 10 days to go until I unlock the achievement...?
if they stop doing it, the game keels over and dies )
Because the achievements only started last year MrLecti
Because the count started the day achievements became activeQuote:

it doesnt seem like it
then again, the problem could be something simple like the egg conversion script gave everyone 200k coin per egg instead of 2,7 coin and they have to do a rollback of maintenance, fix script and rerun it :P
but if they stop doing what they are doing- the servers wont restart ever- which seems a bit drastic at this point )
So nobody has that achievement then? Okay, my bad...though didn't we get a whole load of gems because they were enabled retroactively...?
Edit (Don't know why I'm complaining, am going to be offline for a week starting about three days before I was due to hit the achievement so wouldn't have got them anyway...)
I know why I stopped playing this game the very first time but I don't want to think I'm having a deja vu
Are we in?
Are We In???
ARE WE IN???!!!
we are not.
extended maintenance been going on for 6 hours now,
ive cleaned out my nose, been picking around for 6 hours, at least ive done something productive
man, i have joined Anno online and The West, all in an effort to keep myself amused while this is down... i've basically come up in those worlds as much as I can to the point that i'm stuck, and STILL settlers keeps me waiting, waaaaah! what shall i join now?? lol
