1 in thread Extra Blackbeard RvR check Saturday Night [Discuss: PvP and Conquest]
GM Slycne is going to run an extra Conquest calculation on Blackbeard tomorrow night (Saturday 3/8) after the Matthewtown port battle completes. Tonight's downtime caused some rescheduling and generally confused things. If the ports are in a state such that a server victory occurs it will happen 6 days early.

Just wanted to let everybody know (rather than just the guy who filed the ticket requesting that we run it early.)

You guys are so not cut out for ARGs. Last chance:

"We're making sure the servers are free of flies."

Perhaps - we will know soon enough I suppose. The thing about parsed words or lofty type unspecific comments is they can be defined by the reader and that is why companies use such phrasing to try to capitalize on peoples desire to hear what they want to. It is a bit like the whole Obama thing - the guy spends months saying all sorts of nothing and people get all worked up because they fill in all his blanks with their own specifics. Problem is when the dream and the reality clash it is usually ugly, very ugly - and they always clash, eventually.

So in short...

Populations = largley bad; Rusty = Obama; PotBS = Universal Health Care

p.s. (assign no meaning to the little joke there - just a joke)

Yes, but concurrency has gone down a bit. Concurrency is what worries us, because the game is so much better with a high concurrency, and I think that lower concurrency will eventually result in lower subs.

Some have. 1.1 empiracally (sp?) fixed more problems than it caused.

Different groups work on different things. The group who worked on the capital could not do a thing about Pirate Contention.

You wound me sir! We're making sure that the servers are free of flies.

It is my job, I'm on it, and it won't be feeble.

I don't pay $15-20 a month to play in an empty nation chat.

So while yes, me leaving the server isn't help the issue, I'm not exactly going to hang around in a feeble attempt to fix the server problem- that's your job, not mine.
