Learn to patch at 5am PST like a certain hugely successful online video game company does, and you don't infuriate your European players four times a month.

It's just terrible customer service really.

relax, man) they dont have EU and USA servers, so any time would be bad.

Garth right before the server maintenance was extended:

what a waste of my last day off >_<

I don't think anybody minds if the sales continue longer than planned, you would have thought they would just roll back if they genuinely didn't know why the maintenance was failing, after a certain amount of time that is.

I´m waiting for the server to come-back online again for over 3 hours now...

this has to mean either;

- I got no RL
- I´m addicted to MWO
- I will wait further
- I like trains

Trains, has to be your love of trains...

Can you fit an XL-engine SRMs and a couple of lasers on the pony?

Please no, make it a ballistic pony!

I was going to give it to my daughter, but if it's an energy pony it will just overheat and die within 2 minutes. This will cause huge amounts of sadness and tears and i'll be forced to buy her a puppy...or even worse a kitten

Btw, GMT is the only real time.
All other times are GMT-1, GMT-2, etc. because they are just trying to catch up. And the GMT+ zones are just foreigners being smartarses thinking they are being clever.
Ask anyone in the UK

Admit it. It blew your mind.

[Dishevel]

I knew it.
Seriously guys. Server maintenance is not a black art.
There are ways to set up for it. Ways to manage it. You can even hire people who know how to do it.
Failure rates of over 10% on something as basic as server maintenance means something.
Look into it please. I do not know how you have your stuff set up or even exactly what equipment you are running.
I do know this. What ever playbook you are running here is either wrong or being run by an *****.

I do not want to hear the "Garth is to Blame". It is not funny.
The fact that basic maintenance fails so often here that we have memes for it is a problem.

That is a picture of Garth taken 20 minutes ago, true story bro.

Oh well, as much as I love reading these posts, back here in Europe its time for some shut-eye.
Maybe they find the power plug in my sleep so at least our american friends get a chance at shooting tincans.
Good night gentle-Meme...

It's the unofficial Mad Dog 2 from MW4 I think. The modeler had a different take on the 'mech design and someone made a paper kit out of the 3D model.
