I know things go wrong but after 7 years at this game the thing that grinds my gears is the lack of communication from BB when things go wrong.
Simple rule guys - never shut down servers like this without FIRSTLY posting a notice on your own forum that "it has happened because [fill in blank]"
Even if it is generic like "technical problems" - at least we have a thread to check back to throughout the downtime for updates instead of seeing irritated users complaining because we are kept in the dark.
I feel sorry for the hundreds of users who have probably activated premium time and prestigious friend buffs in anticipation of this event.
Was thinking of joining the game asking what bugs where found so far..... but seems i dont have to, cant even log in.
We had some bugs with events, but this one beats all the former
As usual ... event starts with errors.
Seems the game is loading again, lets see how long it will last
Finally seems to be sorted
We're back...
yup, at least Newfoundland and Northisle is running again
Yey
I don't understand what's this ruckus about. This is normal behavior for the game...
"Few products escape the CHOAM touch... Logs, donkeys, horses, cows, lumber, dung, sharks, whale fur - the most prosaic and the most exotic... even our poor pundi rice from Caladan. Anything the Guild will transport, the art forms of Ecaz, the machines of Richese and Ix. But all fades before melange." — Duke Leto Atreides, Dune
