Zaz EQ2? You did go to the dark side!!!
Actually "And so it begins" is Vosh's quote at the beginning of season 5 of Babylon 5 (actually he spoke those words in season 1)
We have been "maintenance free and somewhat majorly crash free" for several weeks now... but wow... authentication servers not allowing people to get in has happened before, but not on this scale... and so it begins...

Oh golly Justa! I can remember several occasions where authentication server problems kept me out of the game for hours on end, as recently as this year. Granted, they became relatively infrequent compared to the months after launch (where that problem would pop up at least twice a month), but they did happen from time to time. First time under EI's watch though.Originally Posted by Justa Mirage

We all know Forest Gump came up with the idea for the t-shirt S%^& happens. Al Gore is the father of the internet, and Miss Piggy slept with Kermit. But EII did not invent database corruption.

Difference being - the ones that build and modified the code in the not too distant past were still around to fix it. Smeglor and others weren't just window dressing. We'll see how it goes.

took 3 hrs to download and update, biggest waste of my time ever. hehe run for the light
Did they fix the problems with the authentication server? Or did Amadan and the other Tulga (and now EI) contract employee (who did the maintenance and whose name escapes me now) do that?

No idea Tant - I'm hoping things come back up fine, but I worry that the ones that I knew (who REALLY worked on the code/servers for a few years) aren't around anymore. I sure hope that EI got a Rosetta Stone of Horizons before they all left.
I'm not saying TG did it perfectly or right - but atleast they knew how to read it or go: "Oh, this looks like the same problem as the one back in '04; I'll start be looking in suchandsuch spot."

If they can't fix it, lets hope they have a viable backup that isn't older than Tulga.

On the few...
And their names were Digbe Rasbut, and a Sslik it was. And Kesha, new woken of the smallest ones. And Rolynd Anynd, of the Elven Forests and the mighty bow. And Shargrailer, Ancient of the skies. And Sonea Flinder, Lightning and Fair, mighty and wise. And last, aye and least also... The Fool.
And alone of all they walked and did not sleep, that the lands would not forget the Gifted.

And alone they walked and did not sleep, that the lands would not forget the Gifted
And it is oh, so very quiet... and lonely...
And a whisper ran about the Hall, and the whisper was in voices high and higher, and not the voices of those older, and mayhap less bold. For the younglings knew their tasks well, and this was one they relished…
"A song... a song.... a song...."
As the chant rose, it could be seen that Sonea’s love of the color pink was indeed truly a part of her being, and she looked this way and that, a strangely panicked manner to one who bore blade and had faced many a Foe. But at last she laughed, and she stepped forth to the speaking place.
“ A song is it? Aye, well and so. For while I indeed sang that day, it was and is no thing that might set a bard to fear for their living… but ‘ by thy will’ as one I know might speak… What song would ye have?�
And Flozzie did speak forth, and in a voice that showed close knowledge of the subject, he opined that there was a drinking song or three he knew most well… but Sonea declined his offer as gracefully as she might, and thought a while.
“ Well, look ye, there is a song I first learned in my…. In my younger days…�
For a moment, a look of intense sorrow passed over Sonea’s face, and then like a shadow of a dream it was gone.
“ Now… how did it go… ye do see, it spoke of the night sky, that we childer might come to know it and its use. So I will sing it for thee, and if ye know it’s manner, why then let me not wander the sky alone!�
And she began to sing. And for all her words, her voice was clear and each note of silver, and of a time the true gold of perfect pitch.
“ There high above, the hunter walks, and ever seeks his prey
And from him flees the mighty bear, and never it will stay
And every night they turn about but ever they stay whole,
For all the sky is like a wheel and tied unto the Pole…�
“ Hah, do ye have it? So come, skywalk with me!�
“ There high above, the hunter walks….�
And the children sang, and many a hand clapped time, and the Hall rang with joy.
And above her as she sang, the ceiling winked and spun, and as each mark of the sky was marked by her voice… the stars came out.
