So the servers both game and website went down just within the last hour thanks to a 4.8 earthquake (at last report) near Vancouver

Looks like that was a quick turnaround tho as Im in the game and on the website.

May the mech destruction continue!

I seem to have lost my vote multiplier with the outage. I was sitting on a x7 for map selection. I hope no other data was lost.

looks like Units are broken cause we are not in a unit and are back to being not affiliated to any to any faction.

Now working fine

they call that an earthquake in Canada?

I'm from Northern California.... we don't even roll over in bed for less than a 6.

Dude, I'm from a place where we don't even call those "earthquakes", we just call them "tremors" and they're not even worth talking about. 7-9s are "earthquake" (it's a logarithmic scale, so thats several hundred to thousands times more powerful than a 6"

I don't recall saying we called 6s an Earthquake. I just said they don't even cause us to lose sleep. (Also, I'm well aware of the richter scale. I was at ground zero in 1989 https://en.wikipedia...ieta_earthquake and 1994 https://en.wikipedia...idge_earthquake and got to do emergency relief, clean up and oil spill mitigation after the 94 incident) And both were minor compared to Haiti, and othe rplaces in recent years. But part of what made them minor was the preparedness and infrastructure in place.

This conversation reminds me of four Yorkshiremen. "Earthquakes, ha! You're lucky to HAVE an Earth!"

Alas, I'm personally sitting on 2-billion-year-old bedrock which never shakes at much beyond 2. My closest brush with seismic hardship was when I slept soundly through a magnitude-fiver during a visit to Berkeley, CA.

After it happened I looked for 'Vancouver tremor' in the Google search engine and all the news sites had headlines of 'earthquake' instead. It was literally a 'boom' and a tiny bit of shaking for three seconds. /facepalm

A 4.8 wasn't even enough to wake me last night....

Well, canadian earthquakes are probably more polite than USA ones. It probably didn't want to wake anyone up.

probably said "sorry" afterwards, too.

I have been stuck at "CONNECTING" after logging into the game, have to alt+f4 to close the program.
Anyone else also getting this?

[Agent 0 Fortune]

So they moved the server farm to Vancouver? last I heard the servers were on the other side of the country thousands of miles away.

*Looks at Canadian geological foundatio* You call your self an Earthquake at 4.8? Come back when your a 6 or 7 and then I might give a sh*t, cause the Quakes in my hood rock harder than you.

Well, the servers realized that the earthquake tried really hard, so they crashed so the quakes self esteem wouldn't be hurt either. Very polite society.

4.8 is on the level of discomfort as a dog fart. You can't quite ignore it, but you move on quite quickly.

You understand nothing ever happens up here except for cold.

And its not even that cold this year.
