Feargal Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Seems silly to me. Forums should need much less maintenance than play servers. Plus it would give me something to do. I guess I could bathe or go for a walk, but where's the fun in that? I know, I know, much more serious suggestions to address... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly taking servers and forums down at same time seems like a pretty smart idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaltHammerzeit Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 All their account systems are tied together. Pretty sure this is the reason more than anything. I think server maintenance is tied to account maintenance so nobody would be able to login on the website and they take the forums down because it's easier.

DakotaDoc Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 All their account systems are tied together. No, they are powered by the same Gophers that power the servers. They have to give them a day off at the same time. It is a Union thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a Union thing. No, Harbinger has Hamsters. I don't think we've ever confirmed that BW uses Gophers for the servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly taking servers and forums down at same time seems like a pretty smart idea. One only needs to look at twitter during server downtime to see that this is highly likely.
