Mostly I IM my Gemstone friends and bitch about how the game is down...

Kind of interesting how many people don't read the announcements and have no clue. Must be a big shocker for some.

So what's the deal, did they run out of money to pay for the office space? Moving the servers to Solomon's grandma's basement?

[MotleyCrew]

Read the PC, duh.

[Chaddy]

Porn.......

[Gelston]

So shitty. Its my last day having a computer before it goes into storage and GS was all like "fuck you son". :(

(Make Whatley develop a GS iPhone app plz)

[Sam]

Finally a chance to do some school work that's been piling for the last 3 months.

[Ugotfaced]

...and GS was all like "fuck you son". :(


Ha, hilarious.

[Chaddy]

The Word Challenge app on Facebook monopolizes far too much of my time as well.

[audioserf]

This especially blows because I'm home from work and have already finished working on my car so now I'm like "fuck"

[Elvenlady]

Finally concentrate of putting together some of the contest entries in between catching up with laundry and stuffs.

How is DI? been wantin to check it out.

[Bhaalizmo]

How is DI? been wantin to check it out.

The levels / scenery are pretty visually impressive. The game as a whole isn't that hard, although it does have a couple of tough boss fights. Lots of T&A, plenty of violence, but too short of a game for the money.

[Talanus]

whats the eta on servers back up?

[audioserf]

They said it would be down "all day"

[Elgrim]

Tomorrow.

No updates since the last "radio shack sold me the wrong 8 port hub" fiasco.

[Gelston]

whats the eta on servers back up?

RSN

[droit]

Armorgames.com has a ton of flash games that are good for killing some time.

From the official Simu Tech Update mailing list at 3:42pm ET:


The cars are loaded with all the servers and racks and tools and everything else. This cautious caravan will look like a low speed chase down I-70.

I personally planned today for a bunch of catch-up work and some writing time to get the House of Paupers newsletter mostly put together. Work, mostly done. Writing time so far got usurped by a 2.5-hour nap and has now been pushed back to tonight...unless I end up wasting time on FB.

Man, I remember the old AOL "Oh noez GS is down AGAIN!!1!" chat rooms. Fun times.

[Stry]

Watch the news for a 15 vehicle pile up on I-70 :(

GS gone foreva! Noooo!

[violent femme]

guess I have it easy, I work all day so dont play till I get home! I just bought Law Abiding Citizen, so I will get to snuggle with my guy in the cold weather, watching movies...

[Gibreficul]

Facebook and mafia wars during downtime! And LAUNDRY.

[thefarmer]

Cook my wife the 5 course meal I promised her two weeks ago

[dacatchman]

I'm working today and trolling the forums between stuffs.

AJAX is fun, though.

[Trulley_The_Cute_Elf]

I went out and looked for a gemstone chat of some kind and found this forum. Does anyone know if psinet works on its own?

[Nihiladrem]

When GS goes down.... I check to make sure my work hasn't finally blocked their ip address.

[Trulley_The_Cute_Elf]

is the site it self down too? I can't get it to load so I am guessing yes. I was hoping to go to the regular forums.

[kallindra]

Whole things down until they get the hamsters running again

[Bhaalizmo]

Yep, they host their own site and it is down along with the games.

[Shari]

Prolly finish welding the gate. And beating Super Mario for the Wii.

[Trulley_The_Cute_Elf]

Does anyone have any inside news on when it might be back up?

[Androidpk]

Gemstone IV is down for good and will never be brought back online.

[Guister]

I spent the day being productive for a change. Although now as the sun sets I'm starting to realize I have nothing to do and I'm bored out of my mind. So I'm messaging fellow GS buddies and checking the Facebook GS page (http://www.facebook.com/pages/GemStone-IV/60194690885).

[Trulley_The_Cute_Elf]

anyone know when it might come back up

[Guister]

9:26 Eastern.

[NicAlbion]

I'm playing 100 man ton no Barabara. Japanese game where you run around on a ship and cut off large sections to sink it.

[Ker_Thwap]

I haven't played in about a week. Been re-reading The Malazan Book of the Fallen series.

[DoctorUnne]

Way to get another "member" on the facebook page. I never even thought to add Gemstone to Facebook.

[Latrinsorm]

I went out and looked for a gemstone chat of some kind and found this forum. Does anyone know if psinet works on its own?You can run PsiNet in stand-alone mode by simply running PsiNet.exe. Jamus' server is separate from the play.net system, but I don't know if it is intermeshed in some way that would make it unusable during play.net downtimes. My guess is you can still use it.

[Trulley_The_Cute_Elf]

Got me to fan the page

[KValisk]

I actually got some work done at work, go figure. And now I don't have a good reason to put off doing my homework.

[Talanus]

whats the chance on getting a reset lumins time for everyone for the downtime!

[AMUSED1]

Next to nothing.

[Kamkor]

I dunno, I been playing Modern Warfare....

[Guister]

I'm on it but I'm too scared to contribute lest people find out my true identity. I like the anonymity of Gemstone, and people not knowing my real name or what I look like. That said, it's interesting to see other peoples' real names and what they look like.

I suppose you could adjust your highlighted strings, scripts, and macros. That wouldn't be that sad.

[Lord Orbstar]

Downloaded Lord of the Rings Online again. Then cancelled Gemstone for a few months +.

I got my new i7 920 computer, water cooled, 6 g Ram, dual 500g HDD, etc. today. It seemed weak to run a text based game on it...
