Fix the servers please?

from Sins Forums

Both ICO and the forum servers seem to be having very serious problems connecting recently. Sometimes they respond in a short amount of time... sometimes they go unresponsive for minutes... or hours. It's been a problem for the last few days. Some of my PMs are being received as blank (yes, I am sure I sent them with content)... but not even my Sent folder records any text (on my part) as having been sent. Sometimes I am unable to navigate between PM folders because the box that allows for navigation doesn't change the page when I click on "Sent" or "Trash"... or when replying to a message, the original message I'm replying to doesn't show up in the text box...

etc etc. Whatever's going on, could the guys in charge of the servers maybe think about doing something about it?

I was recently in the middle of playing a friendly match introducing a newbie to MP when ICO suddenly went offline. Definitely not a good experience for someone just starting to play... and could put a damper on those who may otherwise have been considering purchasing Rebellion.

It was said that there was some server maintenance on Aug 1-2, but the problems have only gotten worse since then, so it seems.

Just tried posting this and was told "Fiddlesticks! There was a problem adding your post to our forums." 5 times in a row.

Is it just me or did Yarlen's post about the downtime just disappear?

I cannot see it either. It was on though.

They had some data problems.

Yes, it was. They have the ability to post and take down said post at will. I posted a stock pic of the Titan from the artist who made it and it disappeared with no warning or explanation...When you have the keys of kingdom, you are in control....

They're moderators, of course they can do that.

But it still doesn't make sense to make a post about something kinda important at the moment (server down eta unknown) and to then delete it a few minutes later.

I haven't had any problems with the forums for a couple months now.  It's funny that I'd forgotten all about it because these forums used to be real slow, but they've been much improved for months.

I visit the forum daily, but haven't encountered any problems as well. I live in Europe, so perhaps I visit the forum at different moments than the moments at which people seem to have problems.
