Greetings MechWarriors,

Due to a severed cable located near our transatlantic fibre site players from Europe may experience a temporary decrease in their connection performance or stability when connecting to MechWarrior Online services.

Connections from Europe should return to their standard operational performance shortly, but we will try to keep everyone updated as information becomes available.

Thank you for your patience

Haha severed cable? I told Paul that a game of office knives was a bad idea. I guess he got off lucky.

I am honestly not that surprised, as those cables get fouled some what regularly

Hey, at least we're not CBC or iTunes, both of which are apparently down today for folks in our region.

At least the kids survived. Well most of them.

How much does a Company have to pay to have a transatlantic cable laid and why arent you using communication satellites to bounce your signals globally? Or do you mean 'Our' as in Canada's? Oh and just call it retro monday for Europe, welcome back to the Ping and lag shooting of the late 90's!

When Frontier Communications is your ISP, those days never left....

[TinFoilHat]

Any update on a fix before patch hits? Or are the EU players still going to the impacted while we try to download later today? (edit: not sure if "shortly" means hours or days on this one)

They use a Hyperpulse Generator.
Someone unplugged it to charge their iPhone. They are in trouble.

This is obviously a ComStar plot to keep technological secrets out of the hands of anyone outside their toaster-worshipping inner circle!

You can't fool us. We know our BattleTech lore!

Amazing how this is always happening to europeans but never anyone else and if PGI wanted to add further insult to injury, start a challenge today so europeans can't do it.

getting sick and tired of this -.-

PGI needs to give EU some freebies to feel atleast appreciated for putting up with this the most.

Er... You're joking, right? Of course you're joking. I hope you're joking. I _REALLY_ hope you're joking. As a European I would be very embarrassed on behalf of our continent if you were not joking. So, obviously you're joking, because not joking would in this instance be a very sad state of affairs.

So, we've determined that was a joke then. Cool. We're cool. You're cool. I'm cool. Everyone and everything is cool.

Cool.

You know you could set up some European servers so we're not susceptible to this kind of outage?

Okay let me make this clear I did not represent YOU I represent myself and the other thing I meant to add was that this EU server crap happens in almost every free to play game I've played on PC and it is fairly frustrating to date. and I rarely see any news of it happening to other servers.

and sure we don't need a gift but it would be nice to have in addition.

There satisfied with my joke.

Not really. The joke needs more funny. And A LOT less crying. Perhaps you should contact the company managing the undersea cable and see if they want to give you some gifts? That'll work. Good luck.....

Seriously....the sense of entitlement these days is.....frightening.

Lol blame PGI for internet backbone damage. It is Al Gores fault for inventing the internet with inadequate tubes.
