I suspect this as well. There is no reason for their websites and forums to be down this long. Every minute it's down they are losing potential money from their advertisers. Also they are going to have to credit Stratics Plus Users (they better hope to have an automated way of doing that).

Whatever it is, I hope EA learned their lesson.

I dont understand why any type of message on any other boards have been post..Based on a pretty big publish with no real testing info posted , that I could find.

Yes, it is a terrible time for Stratics to be down for 3 days.
*Curses*

They moved their servers last year and did upgrades to them.

Yet, keep in mind that Stratics is not affiliated with EA Games.

I have some feelers out to upper Stratics staff through ICQ, but I'm guessing that I get no answers, more than what comes over the boards eventually.

Oh, I understand Stratics isn't affiliated with EA, which is why I hope EA learned their lesson. Next time, maybe they won't put all their eggs in one (free) basket.

Just a side not on this. On my show I do a segmant on UHall where I pick a post from the week to talk about on my show and whos ever post I pick wins 2 mil. on the shard of there choice.

Since stratics has been down I am going to switch it up to picking a post from UOforums instead.

Sweet, that'd be good to listen to

**DiP** · 7th May 2008, 09:31 AM

Damn, that's a pretty sweet idea Tazz (no, not the doing it here, but the concept in general. but the doing it here instead of Stratics 'cause it's down shows your perserverence

).

Actually, ever since we stopped allowing new Stratics Plus users, NO Stratics Plus users have been charged. They have had Stratics Plus for free for quite some time now. ;)

Please see my post in the main thread on the UO Stratics Forums downtime: Anyone know what's up with Stratics?

Welcome Orvago

Didn't know that, and it makes a lot of sense for it to be that way.

Wow that rocks!

Thanks for the encouragement but don't get too excited yet. Anyone that has tuned into our show knows that we may not give the poster a warm fuzzy feeling

We may grab a post that we think is awful and pick on you for a half hour or so but hey at least you still win 2 million gold
