My horse is starving and research must be done. Progress must not be stopped! You can't take a BBMMO iphone game offline like this!! I must plant my crops and wait 4 hours for them to grow! FARMVILLE 2.0


*Here's an idea, a mount and research app for smartphone that lets you feed your horse and start research on stuff you have in the bank when you are away or the servers are down. You can just copy all the other apps that use real time like KOME or Evony.

After today I'm never visiting Europe .

This is a game design concept which has all the rights to live as any others (well, mostly because it was tested a lot and it was ok).

I saw timer-apps for different games. Not sure if I wanna see the part of the game itself on my phone. Why would I ever need to log-in then?

lol my idea is solely an app, linked to your account, where you can feed your horse when it is time and start research for crafting when it is available. Wouldn't be much of a gaming interface, just timers and a few clickable options.

That horse of yours can survive for 20 hours on a single apple. I'm sure it can wait for food.

It is a huge part of the game (for me, I mean), so again, why would I wanna log-in if I can research stuff while being away from the gamE? Well, I do want that, but it doesn't look nice.

That's my concern. It has now been 25 hours on just that one apple. I'm worried for him(Guess they are all her though bc they have no junk).

Have you considered that that is why you have to kick him into moving faster all the time? He huffs and puffs and tries his best - in the end, it's the lack of edible fiber >_>

you would still have to get the items to destroy for research in game.

Why, because I learned in English class that you need a hook to get people to click on it and read it? Got you here, didn't it? Got me a higher level on the forums than you, didn't it? I'll "go bye bye" when the servers come back online.

forget apple, I feed my horse buckets of Skooma.

Ok...just how do you suggest, a phone app connecting to the ESO server, and doing things on your character and horse (which are stored on the server btw), while the server is offline? While I'm not against a phone app for things like research and feeding horses (I actually think this is a great idea), this would by definition require the server to be up for it to work. :P

The "server down" part was wishful thinking, but lets be honest, those times keep running when the server is down right? So if they continue to tick down, there must be a way to modify them of the issue. Maybe the app gets a list of researchable things before the server goes down and a corresponding time the research has left, then when you modify it on the app while the server is down, it waits till the server is up and sends it the new research and countdown timer. If that timer matches up with what i possible by the game (i.e. not a hacked small number) it is accepted. Also, the whole linked to online game account was done with that GTAV app they made.
