Land Grab 2008 Update

[Konvicted]

Understanding this would be a shitty event once more, this is the best thing to do, cancel it for now...

Well then you got time to change some stuff for the next round, review your rules, take a look to that 5 minutes death penality, like the less you're close to the claim the less you have to way to revive or something...

AND PLEASE BUY SOME DECENT SERVER !!!

The cancellation of the LG does not really affect me in any way but the circumstances surrounding it, together with some of the other actions of recent times, suggest to me that all is not well at Jarntorget 8, SE 413 04 Gothenburg and that Mindark seems to be a company in disarray.

Not only do they need to appoint someone who is adept in customer relations, I now suspect they need an experienced project planner as well.

Was going to mention this myself. Havnt the server problems only got worse since 9.2.4 was introduced? Or is that just coincidental?

Remove 9.2.4 and we have working servers again, job sorted.

Apparantly the new server-hamster did not quite meet the strict MA standards required for holding a landgrab.

...rumour has it it ate Marco too.

We understand your frustration and really appreciate your patience with this.

Ok, thanks.

An update next week? How about hourly updates on what is actually happening. That is what a proper company would do...

PLEASE PPL, ASK YOURSELF NOW:
is it better that MA postponed LandGrab OR IT WOULD BE BETTER TO ORGANIZE LANDGRAB WITH UNSTABLE SERVERS?!

I am happy about MA decision and would like to hug one of them (Marco or Frank...or some "support chicks lol"), the best decision is to cancel todays landgrab + rep

and please...servers are sensitive thing, If you will work or ever worked with servers...you will know and understand

Suggestion : seeing as so many ppl have taken time off work etc, maybe ma could spawn a few event mobs so at least the day isnt a total fail. some server issues wouldnt affect that as badly

Oh, wait, it's not April 1 yet, is it?

9.2.4 was the first suspect, but it has nothing to do with the current situation, regretfully.

A fine idea LT, perhaps spawn them in various locations to spread out the stress on the servers as well.

Would be fun to take out our frustration over the postponement on some evil Warlocks...
