Please, put me out of my misery. Take all the time you need, but can you give us an "idea" of when you will be back up? This morning, this afternoon, this evening, definitely not today, but maybe tomorrow, Monday, etc. etc.

I have the next three days off work and want to play so I am hanging around the house, but if I knew that the game was not gonna be up today, then I will go become a productive citizen of society and get something done.

Please, just as idea. And again, I stress, take all the time you need to fix things.

Mabey the developers could all give us early access to Rift, so we can then further appreciate the sandbox, but still play a game.

I have been having a blast playing World of Tanks. Still in open beta and fun enough to keep my mind off not play this haha.

checking in twice a day should probably be enough to be updated, I doubt they are going to completely ninja launch the game and screw with people who aren't glued to this forum or irc 24/7.

They still havent moved to the new servers for the final wipe so....

This is something else, inbetween last final wipe and the next.

I was patiently waiting, until Haunt threatened to become a productive citizen of society. Given Haunt's ingame persona, I'm very afraid we might all soon find out what he means by 'productive' and the sort of things he 'gets done' on his days off when he doesn't have Xyson to play! Help. Server up now please?

Y'all need to chill. Read a book or something. Or get some sleep, since none of us will be sleeping once the game goes live.

as a proffesional developer myself I can say the answer to your question is no.
When we say 'until futher notice' etc its because we have zero idea and its very much the honest truth. I have had things that appeared to be a simple fix end up exposing unknown bugs which then lasted into a few months of re-work. I have also had things that were predicted to take months only take a few hours.

1. I lawl at your username ^_^

2. As a Lead Designer myself, I must agree. You can never give an honest deadly line because when you are fixing code "shit can happen" as we say. ^_^

thanks

the thing is he said 'we need to look at the data'. Its like asking your doctor how long the operation will be before he even gets blood work back to know if you have a problem in the first place.

I can't do well with SQL sometimes, but ah cool on that ^_^ I am Game Development. Coding is really a bitch and can be sometimes too much. Business apps must be the same.

we have EPIC where I work but I do not use it.

Sounds like we are all geeks and given that most of the 'information' work is mostly data related we are all database folks.

I used to work for Fuku Studios but since my Divorce lol I started a new company called "Fuism Gaming" we are developing a MMO-Sandbox similar to this but with the CryEngine. I am currently writing a novel for history -_- Since I cannot come up with a solid way for how the world was created etc..

If you need something to do while waiting for the servers to come back up, you could go visit your local landfill and get some practice sorting junk.

First off sir, you were running around downtown in that getup, and the picture was taken off of an outdoor security camera, so therefore it is not protected by 'permissions', and second, you exploited a bug on my property to remove things from my basket. I saw you take my fish, and i would kindly ask you to return it before this gets ugly.

Thank you, that is all.

Now I want to respawn with a violin! If I can't kill you back, I should at least be able to torture your ears.
