I was the only person in my LS that didn't get DCed. I was holding a conversation with them and then they just left. I knew they weren't the type to do that so I /sea all'd and there were 900 people on, with a LOT of those Linkdead symbols. I was pretty scared, being in Gusgen at the time XD
Hey it worked out well for me! All the mining points were mine!! XD
Oh and I was on my PS2 version at the time (I have both. You think buying just ONE copy of CoP is bad??), so I wonder if maybe it was just the PC players that got booted. Regardless we didn't get a servermessage til 15 mins before they were going to do the maintainence, though I called it way ahead of time.
Met a nice guy in the mines while it was all happening (as bad as that sounds), and we just kinda started pointing out all the weird things that were happening til the servmes. For example, monsters didn't respawn, and something was screwy with their Path AI, as they were all just pressing against the walls, never turning around. ...nor did they aggro. Very strange.
I wonder what's going on? Maybe someone botched up one tiny little thing in the update coding (and if you're a coder, you know that even a misplaced comma can kill you). Whatever it is, I'd like them to get their acts together. It's getting old. I'm being as patient as I can be, but it's not easy.
Oh and I'm not fond of that new POL viewer either. Takes forever and a day to load up...what was wrong with the old one...?
