    WoW has 15-20 minutes of downtime every night, and 6-10 hours twice per month.

    They need to learn how much they need to monitor. I used to do all this for a large company until a month or two ago.

    The downtime gives SOTA a much more nostalgic feel for the old UO days to be fair! All we need is a timewarp!

    SOTA is in early acces. Spending development money on 7/24 monitoring and handling of disruptions would drain valuable development resources. With the fantastic uptime SOTA has shown so far I rather they spend the money on development instead of 7/24 support. $11M for the development of a mmorpg is not a lot.

    SotA is between now and July for the story line to be complete and (if rumors are true) a Sept launch.
    We presently have a small daily player base, but that most certainly must improve as we move forward.
    The server's need to be manned to the extent of someone at Port making a statement as to the present outage.
    So far, it's crickets...............

    Agreed & Point well taken. However, it doesn't exhaust financial resources to have
    Port & Unity Server's Employee's to be on the same page and working together either.

    What to do? I know. Start the download of a 28GB Star Citizen patch.

    The server will not come up until more obsidian crowns are purchased from the addon store.

    We're aware... trying to figure out what's going on but given that it's 3 AM our time it's not easy to get people to return calls :p

    We'll bring everything back as soon as we can!

    Maybe they're stress-testing Offline Mode? ;)
