From: Krystov Menoptra Oh well, I guess Wednesdays are now the SL public holiday? That would suck, it's the worst TV day of the week.  |

From: Wendel Gascoigne It's clear that, like in many other MMORPG's, patch day is not the best day to launch into wildly ambitious projects like very large builds. Use common sense and be careful when you decide what to do on those days.
It sucks, yes. But SL is not the only culprit and it will save you some frustration.
Wendel Who mentioned 'launching'? It was part of an ongoing build I've been working on for two weeks, and as for 'common sense'? Damn, I must have missed the line in the TOS or anywhere else on the website that advises us not to build or set down anything we fancy keeping on update days. Thus I don't think it's very clear at all, besides which, much like myself, the majority of people I know don't play other online games, so they could hardly be expected to presume such a thing. |

I didn't mean to target you specifically or say that you were at fault, Krystov. I meant it's generally common sense across online games that patch days are bad days to get ambitious. At least, I guess, you "only" lost about a day of work on a 2 weeks build. Not that it makes it any more palatable, I know. No MMORPG has that in its TOS. But it's something you learn over time. It has happened before and it will happen again. Now you know. Wendel |

From: Lizbeth Marlowe The statement asked for a 24 hour NOTICE. that's different, and really not asking too much. The thing is, they did not know they wre going to have to do a rollback. If they had not done a rollback for 24 hours from the time that this was needed, the grid would still be down. I do have a feeling that they would have given you more time to clear object *if they could have*.

Asheron's call taught me to never do anything important or costly on patch day. This still happens to me occassionally, sometimes for no apparent reason. It helps to tell myself that I'd've taken it all down in a few weeks and rebuilt it from scratch anyway right?
Hope that helps.

I'm pretty sure they didn't make the decision to do such a large roll back lightly. You have to weigh costs and benifits. In the long run I'd rather them do something like this, then to try to DB-fu the databases into working, and have the whole thing be unstable down the road.
