[QUOTE=Rudi;393201]But that’s my point in a nutshell, how do you know it’s simple? How do you know that it’s a single server this is being hosted on?
Granted it probably shouldn’t take this long, but I don’t see why everyone is getting so irate about this. There’s nothing we can do about it but wait for updates from them, and in the meantime provide alternative “solutions” (that yes, depending on your view, may not be a solution - but we’re trying!).
Speculating over the permanent “death” of the game and the master server itself is just daft.[/QUOTE]
Well if the fix isnt simple then a redirect to lets say Pauls db would be simple and could be done in what? 2 minutes and they could have let that run until they fixed the apparently very complicated thing
granted im getting a bit pissed, but not by ID, more about all those mr knowitalls i see around here. fact is, you dont know more than i do, another fact list has been down a month, another fact, ID refuses to talk to anyone about this, a small statement saying we are aware and we are looking into it, is what ive seen has come from them.
temp solutions is as said only a temp solution, all those ppl that would find this place or another place where you can see this temp fix, isnt anyone of those that needs it, they know howto connect and they probatly have the ips in hteir head or use SL, TB or HLSW anyway.
So the temp fix isnt a solution at all, its not working for the new people just firing this game up.
I cant help speculate on how the game will be doing now, sitting on my big fat ass and saying never fear Rudi is here, just isnt me mate.
Ive started playing this game in 2003 and have run servers ever since. so ofc im worried, for every day this continues we loose ppl to newer games that actually works.
Im working as a consultant construction engineer and I can calculate and draw and 5 storage office building in the amount of time they have used to say, we are aware.
im 49 years old and im getting to old for this cr*p
sorry rant over
