Lol six and a half hours and counting. Let's hope they are actually adding more cassette tape drives to the Commodore 64 server array.

Might be the venerated Amstrad, not the disc version, the tape, pre Commodore I believe?:P

I think they were pretty much contemporary, but y'know, it's 35 years and my memory is fuzzy at the best of times. I do remember being jealous of my neighbour's CPC464 (the one with the cassette) which was certainly rather more impressive than my Dragon: might've had a creaky old Z80, but aside from that, the graphics and sound were awesome and its Locomotive Basic was much better than the crappity MS Basic I was lumbered with.

I demand a $.50 refund for lost playtime on my ESO+

Actually, you have the right to do so.
You bought the game and you got ESO+

It's like.... you bought ice cream but you may eat it only when seller will let you...
Is it normal?! Nah

Hehe aye I hear you, was way back in the mists of time for me, but I do remember trying to get games to load in and micro tuning the frequency for it to load in, disc drives were a godsend hehe.

This is what their server code looks like after a week of Midyear Mayhem

Lysette · August 2018

Well, I know - most likely it will reopen after they finished working on it.

If it's such a waste they should probably take that crafting bag away for a day as well, or take back all the free crowns you've gotten and any items bought with said crowns...

People complain about the performance of the servers when they're up, then complain as soon as they're taken down for maintenance. T'was ever thus.

You really believe they are fixing anything performance related? Get a reality check.... not going to happen with ZoS.

I enjoyed beating up on the Chessmaster (easy mode only, of course), but Zork and The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy were my favorites.

In Aus the downtime is 4pm til the next day so it is actually a whole evening of playtime lost, which for most people is the only time they get to play. In Europe and the US the impact is much less. We get peak downtime every week to two weeks here from with a 6-8pm start in the evening depending on the start time, so it does mean we pay a month's subscription for up to 4 days less. While we have become used to this, it is galling and I can understand why some people complain about having to pay for something they're not actually getting.

We need an extension to mid-year madness

efster · August 2018

They would have known about a datacenter maintenance long before they deigned to let us know when it was happening and what time, and they didn't even bother mentioning that this was a datacenter maintenance.

ZoS seriously needs to stop treating its Asia/Pacific playerbase like garbage. I can understand that maintenance needs to be scheduled during times when the majority are not playing the game. That's fine. I can also understand that it's not possible to predict exactly how long a maintenance will take. Hamsters are unpredictable.

I can't -- and won't -- understand why they can't announce maintenance a week in advance and TELL us what kind of maintenance it is. Just saying 'server maintenance' when it's the datacenter doing it is like saying 'it might rain' when a typhoon is about to roll through. Last time there was a datacenter maintenance, the servers were offline for half a freakin day. Had they told us that up front, raids could have been cancelled sooner, people could have made other plans for tonight. Stop treating your customers like crap, ZoS.

I found this game in the middle of the tape once that was awesome but do you ever think I got that game to work again...nope haha

We have had a good run though our generation we got to see the beginning to what it is now, we have played more games than you could poke a stick at too. We got to experience the greats on release. I remember the graphics of the 16 bit consoles blowing me away they were so advanced after playing games like Pac-Man and Space Invaders. Half Life now that was a good one and finishing Doom for the first time. We have lived some good gaming times that is for sure.
