Oh and at least they're telling you when they're going to take it down ahead of time instead of OOPS GAME GOING DOWN IN 10 MINUTES LOLOLZ!!!111111

[Suppa Hobbit Mage]

Yeah, thats cool :) They are taking feedback!

[Trinitis]

Hrm..lets see. A bunch of software / programers are going to set aside an hour to install new hardware?

Heh. GS will be back up around 4pm EST.

[Artha]

Simu time says it'll be up at 2 pm.

Heh, sorry, I've not taken my Simu - to - English College corse yet. I'm not good with their time conversions.

[Artha]

Take when they say it'll be up...and add four hours.

CPU install = 5 minutes and that's if the case has screws. If it's just clips even faster. Now if they have to swap mother boards to accomodate a different pin set on the processor then yeah I can see that kind of time. What I hate is when they set themselves to a time line like this though.

GS will be down from 9 to 10, at 10:01 if it's not up you have people bitching. Just say it will be down at 9 and we are shooting for 10 but should something come up it will be restored ASAP. If it comes up faster great if not well at least you put that CYA blirp in there.

Or on extreme cases.....*GS IV*....add three months

::chuckle::

I laugh cause I stopped myself from posting the same thing the rest of you are saying..I didn't want to seem "negative."

But..it's the truth. Simu really is just "that shitty." And how much do you want to bet these speedy new CPUs still lag and make the game crash? Heh.

Yet I keep shelling out the cash.. ::sigh:: Crackstone. I really hope Warcraft lives up to the hype and I can become fully enthralled with that game. I'd *love* to kick this dirty little habit.

[Celexei]

NOOOO......Weedie!!! you can't leave....simu sucks oh well, you can't leave all the friends, family and life you live in Elanthia...thats like takin the rock and pipe from the crackhead after years of everday tokin it......bad bad

I wish I had a job that allowed me to worry about Gemstone IV being shut down in the MIDDLE OF THE MORNING.

[Weedmage Princess]

Work nights or evenings, Sik

Or work whenever you get the phonecall and they tell you to...like I do.

[SiKWiDiT]

The only night job I'll ever find would be to work in the plants, and they make you pee in a cup before they'll hire you.

[Weedmage Princess]

Ahh.

Leave the green stuff alone then.
