A warning

[warden1978]

Unless it is a crash for outwar, I do believe a mass e-mail should be sent to all members to state when a outwar servers will be down. If it will be shut down, it should be at night when less people are online playing.

[Wizzy]

If something "happens" to the site spontaneously, I don't think that's feasible.

They can't send us notices that "Hi Everyone, Outwar is gonna go down in 2 hours because a bug will become known at that time which, following, we will take down the site to fix it. Thank you"

LOL.

I don't believe they usually work on weekends so if they come in on weekends I'd assume it's because something not so nice happened.

In the good 6+ years this game has been out, has rampid EVER sent out an email saying they were shutting down the servers?

Nope.

Then why do it now?
This thread is pointless.

perhaps this is because mopst people use random email accts!!

the game doesn't go down without a good cause - it is the same for everyone - this isn't a planned outage - so no email notification could have happened

[Bldyrr17]

serverwide ow messages...some people actually check those :|

[Wizzy]

The point is, sometimes you do not know when something might happen or a bug might appear that requires immediate attention...

When they do however, do routine maintenance, they do make news posts about it.

Great plan... rampid staff are REALLY gonna get outta bed when "less people are online" to fix your issues lmao good one!

Ever heard of self-updating systems?

You change the code, tell it to be updated at a certain time, and it will be updated at that time. Therefore you wouldn't have to get outta bed.


I do agree with the author of this thread, as well. A simple global news update, like they send basically every day anyway, 5 minutes before the fix would be enough to both inform people about the problem, and warn them of the downtime. Players would be much happier with it.
I'm gonna compare it with MMOs, since OW basically is one - a global message is sent 30 minutes before a scheduled or unscheduled maintenance, people know about it and log out accordingly. Now there's no need to log out in a safe place on OW, but you would know wether it's a good time to cast that skill or raid that boss now, or if you should wait.

meh ow fail to update properly when doing it as they have been for the last 6 years... id hate to see them try to auto do it whilst they sleep o_O

[warden1978]

I'm not saying that if it crashes...like what was stated....I'm saying if thier going through normal mantainance they should notice us and do it on the most inactive times, it is more professional to NOT inconvience the customer.

[Wizzy]

They do send notices in the site news...

Which is also why there should be a test server, where they first do the update. That way, release bugs can be avoided, the code added can be optimized and they know the update worked like it should.

Not that I've heard of more than one auto-updating system that has failed.

[D37Thompson]

this is ridiculous. its never gonna be back up

[BlackRebel]

Do you guys not realise that if they told everyone "Oh there's a bug on (insert bug)" then people won't go and abuse the glitch?

the less we know the better...

They wouldn't need to give the details, they could say "There's a bug in the explore page which we have to fix asap". Hell, they don't even have to say what part of the site it affects, just mention why the downtime happens and give an estimation on how long it'll be down would be enough.

shawty nice job lately on your responses glad to see it , second for those who dont know there are major storms going thru the new hampshire are today and this could be the cause of the shutdown so be patient as always ow will fix things

[Mightygoofy]

Remember ow you made Rga You need email make sure emails accounts r valid when u crate ow. OR if you use this reason about emailing i guess there r frauds about recruiting for ow. ;)

[SeqeR]

I'm getting so tired of pimpa you f ,all you do is complain if you don't like how ow runs their shit why do you still play? unless your going to Quit ,STFU, and goosh i dont know how admins can work with tards complaining all the time

The servers are located in New Jersey, so I don't know how the storms in New Hampshire affect it ;)

Meh... why does it matter so much if outwar is going to be down then it goes down. If it is a planed thing then they have been doing good with giving everyone notice that it will be down however if it is unplanned then there is not much they can do about it.

Guess we don't use the same IP tracers then.

EDIT: You said you're in New Hampshire as well, did you even really change your IP to outwar's? There's no doubt it's located in the USA.

It's always night-time somewhere...

Go To Class

[jackwells]

this tread is boring stop moaning and close the thread

[Wizzy]

Notices are sent when they do know the site will go down. However, there are times where you can't send notices about something you don't know will happen.

Closed.
