Reon Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 you are from South Africa fireribs? I once got an email from a prince who lived there that needed my credit card for a currency exchange...I don't normally loan people money...so I didn't. I count it as the one that got away...I could have been rich right now and bought the emu a new log in server and a generator that doesn't rely on hamster power. I would upgrade those suckers to squirrels! Oh, and I would buy some coat hangers and a roll of tinfoil to shield the squirrels from EMP. I hope the log in server is back up soon...I am starting to act weirder than usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireRibs Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Good thing you didn't you would have been broke by now, with not even enough will to beg for cash. Well I found some games on my pc which I haven't played for almost 5 months after installing EnB Emu, so I am off to play World in Conflict, I recall being at the mid game missions then. Amazing how I have been spending all my free time on EnB, who knows I might even spend sometime with the family tonite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reon Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 copper costs too much...the economy is bad, I am sure even the African princes are only slightly rich these days. If money was no object, I would use silver...but, we are on a budget here, which is why I proposed squirrels and coat hangers, rather than minks and silver tubing By the way...if it sounds like I am joking, I probably am...or am I? I need my fix...hit me with that stick again...I think it helped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FireRibs Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 (edited) OK calculating from the first post, it has been approximately 15 hours since the logon server went down and and over 2 hours since Darkk notified T.P.T.B. This is an awful turnaround time What is the longest period the server has been down in the past, does anyone remember?

Ryle [N7R] Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 I wonder if it might not be wise to give another couple of the devs access to restarting things. Tienbau has been pretty mia for a month now, which of course is what happens with volunteers, but hasnt he always been like the main server dev? I know rolo does it on occasion, but who else?

FireRibs Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 I understand that they are volunteers, just as I agree with Ryle. And to quote "If you are gonna do something do it right" and another quote "If you start something see it to the end". Volunteers or not they should own up 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryle [N7R] Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 (edited) Little harsh there. They have lives and families. They arent being paid. That being said, I wonder if its an expertise thing with the server restarts. Evermore, redoc, kenu and the like just dont possess the proper skillset or whatnot? Yet they are always around, so i dunno, an idea to toss. Edited June 22, 2012 by Ryle 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryle [N7R] Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 (edited) Ill tell ya why youre being minused: Youre being a bit of a prick about it. Sure we all want the server up and working, and I am sure like me a lot of us are frustrated we cant play, but only a few select developers can restart it. They are unavailable for whatever private reasons. Im sure some are at work, it is 3pm here after all. Let me ask ya this much: How much do you pay a month to play this game? Compulsively I mean.

Muhir Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 As frustrating as it is to not be able to play when we want to play, it also needs to be kept in mind that the Devs have to figure out why the server crashed. That debugging has to take place before the hamsters are jump-started otherwise we're just back here again in a few hours wondering when we can play again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
