If they gave estimates past the time the servers would actually be up people would complain they were always up early.

servers ....... up early .....giggle

Haha - I can imagine all the complaining you would hear because people missed out on lots of discos if they came up after 3 hours instead of the projected 6...

LOL, i took a vacation day for this.....i save one vacation day each year for the xpac launch.......disco's here i come

Thats intense dedication, lol

I always have tuesdays off.  SMILEY

Well...launches always have at least one "gotcha" in them to make sure we're awake and paying attention, I suppose.

We've got a missing asset issue that we're troubleshooting right now. The gates will open as soon as we get it resolved.

More soon!

The asset thats missing is the players!!! Let us in!!! =P

I can wait but I really don't understand why they just didnt give the launch more breathing room. Say you think it'll be done at 6am, for arguments sake.

It's ok that problems happen and can be unexpected but planning ahead and being precautionary with launch times is really important, I think. I had a feeling this would happen, a lot of the time the estimated times they throw out for servers to come up are wrong. No reason not to give it an extra hour or so, that way people arent waiting and then dissapointed. 

Who's to say they're not adding "breathing room" with their estimates?

Anyway, we all know that "estimated downtime" is exactly that, estimated. And I can see the other side of the argument. If they added 2-4 hours just to be on the safe side and then had their servers up early, lots of people would feel like missing out. As it is now, we all get together, having our coffee and cookies, sharing our evercrack withdrawals ... and wait like we are used to with each expansion.

No no I did make another post when someone brought being early up. :]

Say they get done at 2pm but they said launch will be at 4pm, then they should wait til 4 to launch it. No earliness or lateness. Thats what I believe in.

Sure they can.... they just have to write the lore that way.  Some great magic is discovered that allows Luclin to be repaired!  POOF!

Getting "Fatal Error" and shutdown now when hitting play button.  Posted in thread in Support.  Hopefully works itself out as it goes live---crosses fingers.

Now that idea is actually something I mentioned to my hubby after they were up early last year.  Would make total sense to me.  Then everyone gets a fair chance for discoveries.

i'm actually impressed that the forums havent gone down yet.

step 1: delay expansion/game update by at least two hours

step 2: dont give any real information, or any updates

step 3: crash forums to stop complaining

Does that mean they are missing a Staion cash item?

Just in case you're being serious ... an asset is an item of worth, which is available to be used to meet a debt or obligation. In the case of gaming companies, they will refer to graphics as "art assets", as they are of value and are used to display the game (meeting the company's obligation to deliver the gaming experience to the customer).   :)

I dont even see it as a thing about who gets what first, though, you know? Its about business and being on time and being professional to me.

Should be back soon.  I mean after the Crush D'lere merge we were able to play long before they said we would be able to play long before they estimated we would be able to.

Ah yes, sorry. Didn't see your comment about that until posting my reply to you. Of course that could work, buuut if I knew they did that I'd go crazy with "omg, what if the servers are really up and they just locked them because it's not 4 pm yet?!"

I'd go bananas wondering! SMILEY
