Working on that

Let me guess, you probably think the Intertardnet is just a series of tubes.  If the problem is at a hop prior to reaching HTC servers, how is it HTC's fault?

Could be the economy.

A lot goes into "keeping" players interested in a game. With so many options vying for the slim "entertainment dollars" There is a lot more to it than saying HTC is falling down on the job.

It seems to me that all you do is complain about what is missing, skins, maps, people. Is it possible you have a problem?

Its the Internet. Outrage is required.

We cannot control the Internet.  Still tracing data, but it appears the problem happened a few hops away from us.  Should not have impacted everyone.

    I Don't believe this is a problem with "the internet", as on Tuesday Only the Knights were booted, and none put back into flight. One of our fields was under heavy attack by the Bishops, who had a CV nearby. I had just rearmed and taken off heading back to the enemy spawn when POOF "lost connection to server". didn't surprise me because the last week this has been a common occurrence. I was able to log right back in without any problem, Sat in tower waiting for the "you will be put back into flight shortly" message.. But it never came. or "you have crashed", The AI bailed" no recorded kill, Nothing. just sitting in the tower like I just logged in normally.

   That's when I noticed we still had huge ENEMY dar bars over our field, but not a single KNIGHT was airborne. Observing the chatter on Country channel and 200 confirmed that the mass boot had only affected the Knights, and nobody was put back into flight.

   I don't think that a random internet outage would be so selective, and even interfere with programming that detects connection loss and initiates the protocol that puts us back into flight.

We shouldn't have pissed off Skyyr

LMAO just fyi I was there and yes the bishops and rooks were booted I myself was booted that night about 7 times including the incident you are referring to..just not all bishops but I was not put back in flight and took me three times to get back in the game...of course I'm on a laptop using Verizon cell tower in my truck parked in Nebraska at the time so in never to upset even in apart of a mass boot makes me feel like I'm not alone lol

I hope this is your attempt at being funny. Or are you really suggesting HTC kicks off a certain country for some reason. That is insane

No, I'm suggesting that it was a server / program issue. And as for Scott's reply, we must not be talking about the same incident. I looked at the roster during this time and there were about 45 Rooks in flight, I think about 41 Bish in flight. and 23 Knights logged, but only 6 in flight.(including myself)
