Right now there are a bunch of dedicated people with families who are no doubt trying as hard as they can to resolve a situation that was not directly their fault, who have a bunch of executives hovering on their shoulders going "Have you fixed it yet?"

My support and sympathy goes out to them.

As person that works as a paramedic fireman, if i make a mistake people die. I get sued and i could lose my license to practice and of course i could get fired.

Having been a military Infantry officer that above statement applies there as well

I have very little sympathy for failure when its it your JOB.

A wise person used to tell me, dont talk about it....be about it.

Deep in the human unconscious is a pervasive need for a logical universe that makes sense. But the real universe is always one step beyond logic.

I guess that's why they don't talk, they fix it.... just sayin

This is one way to get our buts on the PTS. But instead it looks like from the server activity many of you went to Asia Pacific Servers.

I am at work so i cant play right now, otherwise I would be on the PTS

Sympathy no. I have none of that for people doing what they have been hired to do. It's there job.

However, in saying that. I don't wish them ill will or some other such none sense but it's times like these when you have to say to yourself, "It's time to go to work."

It's times like these when you get a pat on the back for a job well done and preforming a technical miracle getting things running in a spectacularly quick manner but should I feel bad cause someone has to work a little harder in a job they were hired to do?

Ugh no.

Maybe it is time to go try out WoW on my brothers second account. He has been trying to get me to try it so I can pvp with him. This server outage might just be the push to get me to go try it now.
