How long will the awaiting hold on?
« on: July 09, 2007, 08:10:13 pm »
I'm posting here, as many people would blame me for posting it somewhere else: [some stealth mod put the topic from the plaza to here.]

How long will the server be down?
How far are you (the devs) in percent? 50%? 20%?
I'm getting sick of waiting. I sit here having "auto-refresh" installed, refreshing the server stats page every five seconds.
Please give me some update.

It's just because I planned the whole evening to play planeshift, and now the server is down (for good reason, though)

Not for a few hours at best I'd think

Shame on you!

Thank you, I'll stop refreshing now.  :D
Erm... What does "I'd think" mean? Is that the thought of an dev? Or the feeling in your stomach?

EDIT: spelling fixed  :innocent:

You speak out of my mind... But, hey, we'll get a shiny, brand new, mighty, whatever PlaneShift. I never played .019 before. I'm waiting super-jittery for the server to come back online...

The I'd think is because Talad just left to go somewhere :P So it won't be up until he gets back. In the meantime, we'll be poking it a bit with sticks.

This doesn't happen in well organized 100% Open-source development environments where everybody is trusted and there is no central authority :P

It's the price to pay for centralization, but as this is and aways was Talad's project and not the community's project, understandable.

Where is he gone? Why does he do this? I guess he's still sitting in front of his computer, laughing loud about the people waiting for the server to come up.  :devil:
Just joking...

Hello!

Get a real life and leave the devs alone, so that they can do their work. The game will be ready when it is done. In other words: soon(tm). :P

With kind regards

Thank you for your post, sprinkling of sense. I have a real life, indeed. As I previously announced I wanted to play this evening and now I am not able to. Leave the "soon(tm)" to the people that are authorized to say it, which IMO are the devs. And even if I wouldn't have a real life, the devs would still be able to do their work, i guess.

Never mind...  :)

I will ignore you. I trust in Xordan and the announce here. And I'll cross my fingers.

Typically, a version update takes anywhere from a few hours (very rarely) to a few weeks (very rarely).  typically, its a day or so.  See you tomorrow.

You did notice that that announcement is 3 months old, did you? :)
