Why, after 2 days of downtime, Renegade and Tiberian Sun: Firestorm have TERRIBLE connectivity.
|
Ah, because of a broken GBIC.
|
So why is our game's listing service being hosted at a datacenter with a broken GBIC?
Actually, its cool to be me.

I guess they were unable to find unbreakable GBICs.

Dude,
CUT THIS SHIT OUT. APPOLOGIZE AND OFFER A FUCKING ALTERNATIVE TO YOUR SHIT. OBVIOUSLY, THE CONTINUED CONNECTIVITY ISSUES ARE STILL HAPPENING. STOP DICKING WITH US AND FIX IT, OR GET THE FUCK OUT.

No,
the downtime we are experiencing is unacceptable and should not continue, not now, not in the future.
Instead of offering us solutions and generally being helpful, he instead bickers over trivial shit and gives us non-sensical or meaningless answers. These answers include deception, empty promises and lack of care for the respectable people of the Renegade community.
Actually, its cool to be me.

I found this quite a funny answer? Tx for that, Olaf  .
Seriously though: I'm all for a stable Xwis, let's please make work of that  .
You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord

Well, now that you know that your hosting provider feels it to be perfectly reasonable to have over a day of complete downtime followed by 3 and a half more days of this alleged GBIC flaking out, it seems a GREAT time to find a new host with a higher committment to delivering to its customers. If my host had scheduled a 24 hour downtime or even had a 24 hour UNexpected downtime, I would have been out the door as soon as I could yank my files off the server. In this day and age of the Internet, there is NO excuse for any provider to deliver that sort of service.
I have respect for you, Olaf, and I appreciate what time you do give to the Renegade players, but I am siding with the players and server owners of which I am one of. We shouldn't be told to suck it up and be appreciative of what you have done for us up until now. We should be told that you are taking responsibility for this problem, that you are very sorry it happened, and that you are taking steps to make sure it NEVER happens again, and outlining those steps.
And I'm not speaking from a pissed-off player's perspective -- I am speaking as someone else who is in your shoes and provides an "official" service for Renegade. I had a lot of support from the community in order to be given this responsibility from Westwood before they closed down and I have spent the last 3 and a half years making sure I live up to it.
I'm the bawss.

Regardless if it has or not,
THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR IT BEING DOWN 5-6 DAYS.
Give BHS renegade. Pure and simple.
|
im sure the poeple at bhs have enough things to do...although it would be nice.
as a side note, poeple have paid alot of money to have renegade servers up, 6 days of downtime could mean $100's of wasted money.
|
Uhh, BHS WANTS to have that responsibility to provide a WOL substitute for Renegade.

Olaf, your forums make it quite clear that you really don't give a rat's ass about Renegade. It's not a game you have a passion for, we get it. We're not faulting you for it.
whoa.

I agree, except I am faulting him for it because the deal was the EA was going to hand it over on condition that all games were managed by XWIS correctly.
FAILURE.
