those 11 patches are probably the previous tests. my client is fully up to date and there's been no recent patch so far.

I was just about to ask "why doesn't my existing test client patch" …

At this rate, it'll be another 4 hours or so (til the server re-ups the double XP bonus) where we'll get the info.

1 hour before the scheduled downtime said:

We're ready!

OK, I'm not being serious here. Just my inner conspiracy theorist talking. What if they're not upgrading, but actually downgrading because the diminishing population of paying customers no longer supports the cost of maintaining the servers they had? I sincerely hope that isn't it because, for all its problems, I love a lot about MWO. It is actually my favorite game, by far. But it is theoretically possible, at least in my mind.

You know when a good time would have been to test the Launch Module and Lobby would have been?

Last week?

That would be hilariously bad.

I just started playing again - is this game suffering from lack of a player base? It seemed very populated over the weekend. I got into matches far quicker than I do with World Of Tanks. There must be a decent core of people for quick Q's.

Let me build on that,
The reason that they're not putting the Launch Module on test is because once organized groups see how it will work, any chance of them purchasing the next Hero or a Clan Pack before April 29th will vanish quicker than summer morning fog

I guess PGI has failed to maintain the maintenance thread and the public test one.

What you said would be bad...if it were true.

There's NOT a diminishing population of paying customers.

Maybe true, but there is a diminishing population of retained paying customers

[Mister Blastman]

Don't the patch notes leak a day early on twitter or reddit? I haven't seen them yet but wonder if and when it will happen...

You've certainly come to some very definitive conclusions about a feature that's not even out yet.

Isn't that the sort of behavior you used to troll people for? Maybe I should start giving Roadbeer the Roadbeer Treatment.

ok, something is not quite right with the universe here. I thought there'd be a maintenance schedule and here I find the website up and going. What gives??

I thought we were building on a conspiracy theory so I put my on

[Kodiak Jorgensson]

apparently the test server is down for maintenance, so hopefully we'll get some proper news soon.

The maintenance isn't set to start until 10 PM PST, which is still a little under 8 hours from now.
