SURPRISE!!!!!! ..not

[_________Hunterdroid]

And we haveto wait yet ANOTHER hour..why am I not surprised..

An extra hour wait period, or have the servers up exactly when they said they hoped they would be and then have them crashing all day while the live team goes out for a beer expecting everything to be okay? How about letting the servers come up on time but having to have a 24 hour rollback tomorrow because a hideous exploit was discovered, but they had to meet thier scheduled uptime? Or maybe you would rather log in and have the server crash only to see that when you tried to log back in that all your characters had been deleted due to a bug that could have been prevented if only the servers had stayed down for another hour while it was tested out one last time?

Shut up and go do laundry or something. Missing an hour of playtime is not going to kill you. Defrag your hard drive, update your video bios, there's all kinds of things you could be doing besides whining that the servers had to stay down for an extra hour.

You can't wait another hour?

[__________WGMelchior]

Why don't they just add an extra hour before announcing the time, and then if they can, make people happy by putting up the servers early. If they can't, they still manage to meet the deadline.

Never promise something you know you can't keep.



[EDIT:] Forgot the 'know you' part. Important stuff.

So far I haven't seen FC manage to keep their promised uptime *even once*. They really should just add another hour or 90 minutes to their estimate. After a dozen upgrades where they've failed to make it in time each and every try you'd imagine they'd start realizing they just ain't gonna make it ever.
