This sucks!!!

Well lets hope at least they put our places on holding stage, so that everything is in time freeze. otherwise we all have alot of work to do. I think this should be done during Maintenence down time , then brought back when we log in.

I would like compensation cause i still cant get in been trying for past 4hrs and it 11:47 pm wher ei lvie witch is oregon and i dont know time zones well but if im correct matience is in less then 15 minutes fckn bullsht i was playing game at 7:00Pm when i was automatically kikced from it.

so that 9 hrs im not been able to play total if i am correct and maitence starts here in 15 minutes.

What does beta mean?

Beta means the game hasnt been finialized yet ... a beta test is usually the last phase of testing that a game undergoes before being released fully to the public, its where the pick out the more minor bugs and irritations, as well as imbalance issues (contrary to alpha testing which is where they pick out the massive bugs and glitches in a games code), essentially, youre on the "open beta" of castle empire ...
and quite frankly ahh, feels like maintenance night on world of warcraft 6 years ago ... and yanno what? it really dosnt bother me that the server is down, you know what they say? sh*t happens.
secondly, i challenge any of you folks complaining about downed servers to create an mmo or a server-based game that;
a) handles 1000's of players from across the world at any one time.
and
b) keep it above a 80-90% up time margin, take it from someone who has family in the massive multiplayer gaming industry - its not as easy as you think to keep those servers up with the traffic they receive.
oh and dont call me a fanboy, this is the first thing ive played from ubi or bluebyte in that was released in the last 10 years, i just have half a clue about the industry.

Could not have said it better myself.
Thanks for the insight.
Okay, back to my whirlwind of housecleaning.

I do believe that is 5am pst. For me, that means 7am EST. This happens every week. I don't even bother to attempt my first log-in until 7am.

5am PST is actually 8am EST, just saying.
