hours lost

[wenjie]

The 1st downtime happened somewhere around Jan 14, YR0. And we're compensated with - a pause which starts back from around Feb 7, YR0.
---> 16-17 hours lost

The 2nd downtime started even before OOP, which is around Mac 22, YR0. And again we're compensated with - a pause which starts back at April 7, YR0.
---> 8-9 hours lost again

My dates / numbers may not be exactly 100% accurate, but I believe even when during "uptime" - ppl still has problem playing it due to the lag and frequent time-outs. You can probably do 2-3 things, if u spend 1 hour on it.

SOOO, WHERE ARE THE LOST HOURS?

HOW ARE WE GOING TO PLAY PROPERLY WITH ALL THE MISSING HOURS?

Here's a hint:

You get them when the game starts ticking again *GASP*


It's not like those "lost" hours went poof. You just have to readjust whatever you were doing and deal with it.

[wenjie]

Readjust? That's OK if it's mid-round.

It's the bloody OOP for goodness sake, and everyone has their plans. The stupid 1st downtime caused my kd Bank some exploring problems. The 2nd downtime is even worse. We cannot send any **** at all. And not mentioning we have 25 ppl online - 1 hour before OOP.

GAME RUN BY REAL IDIOTS!!

[Dan07]

You act like you were the only affected?

[wenjie]

I'm not the only one affected. And I'm not pointing at the players.

But I still want back the LOST HOURS, so that everyone can have a game on.

[Dan07]

But as seeing how the downtime was server wide and it affected everyone, would you agree it's about an even playing field? (Ignoring the minuscule details =p)

[Asakura]

You can have an extra day at the end of the age if you want. There is nothing we can change here on unless we restart the thing altogether. Now stop whining.

[wenjie]

I'm not whining, Asa.

It's just plain stupid. Just compensate back the lost hours. Now everybody's province is out-of-sort. The only ones who benefit from it are the ppl who can't train on-time - and are saved by the stupid 7 hours downtime OOP.

GAME RUN BY REAL IDIOTS!!

You talked like you can run the game better than the moderator now.....=S

[wenjie]

Are u those that gets lucky with the downtime? Why are u speaking for them? Go the **** OFF, noobie!!

It's supposed to be a game run by "professionals". I build houses, and I don't screw-up. They are supposed to run an online game, and they screw-up.

[DreamJ]

hmm ... watever u doing right now it won't help right ? and seriously u are not the only one who get affected ... u are accompanied by 12k+ ppl ? so get over it

[divinorum]

everyone is affected, yes. but everyone isnt affected equally. if you people arent capable of grasping what a 7h advantage means this early in the game you shouldnt open your mouths at all really. The provinces who managed to login at 1st and attack, explore, train, pump whatever will have a huge advantage on those who didnt. An advantage that will be age long in many cases.

Proper thing would be to bring back the game closer to oop. But i guess our coders arent capable enough to have that functionality up and running.

(and yes, i would do a better job not that it matters).

sure, only the semi-serious players care about this, and they are in minority, but community-wise they are the glue that held this piece of crap together for the last few years. Then again, they sank the earth ship, so why should they care this time?

[wenjie]

No, it won't help the game to "revive" back. Sad to say...
But I've felt better after hurling insults at them.

Another good one --> GO BE A ROAD SWEEPER, maybe u'll do good at it!!

[null]

why didnt you learn after first big downtime, that this age is not stabile?

as "professional" it takes you few time to generate new "plan" what will go still right - even if the servers go down again.

[DeRn]

If you feel that you have lost ****ing hours then it is your fault alone. OMAC has given you plenty of time to do it.
