I don't know what to do with my time!!!! I can't sleep anymore, and all my old games aren't appealing. Maybe I'll go buy me a new one as an early birthday present..

I gotta get my fix....the shakes are starting to take over :(

When GS comes up will we HAVE to reallocate?
and if we do and we mess up will we be able to reallocate again?

They say the first month is going to be an open reallocation and testing month.(Read: Please fuck around while we fix bugs)

Also, when you transfer over you're auto-allocated to what the system THINKS you want based on how you trained in GS3. But generally it's stupid and you'll want to reallocate. Reallocation is a lot easier in 4 than it was in 3 though.

Although you probably can't see it now since the site and games are down, but it said more along the lines of tomorrow night we'll be able to play again.

I thought "Genstone IV" was only a working title. Seems they decided to stick with it.

Stormhammer was the working title. Gemstone IV is the release title.

Okay, now it's saying that they're building me a new website. Yay me.

Before it kept telling me something about their orifice problem. Or oracle problem. Or something.

Just got this email from Simu


Well, after a brief debut, the new website decided it was a little
uncomfortable with all the attention and decided to cause some
significant problems.

We have several people working at the office now, trying to get
things back online, but when I left, there was no real ETA for when
the site, forums, or SGE would be back in operation.

Hopefully it will be soon.

Thanks for hanging in there!

AHAHHAHA, and you'll be charged for that day (even if you couldn't access the game)!

Yes, I'm so sure a judge would entertain a frivilous motion to sue for recompensation, for what amounts to on average -- $00.50 a day. Especially since the outage was preannounced.
