since they're updating the billing system.. probably not. Unless Decal pulls our financial records from Turbine.

Hmmm. Then, WHY would it take an entire day to impliment what I would think to be relatively minor changes to the Authentification / Billing type stuff? Any why couldn't they test it out on their back-up systems in advance of implimenting them on us? An entire day of downtime for what seems to me to be relatively minor seems a bit... excessive?

I'd say that billing is harder and more critical than the game servers themselves.


If they botch up a game server, they just have to re-load a little software..


if they botch up the billing systems, they're completely screwed!

I am not belittling the difficulty involved... just curious why they didn't create their new billing software and put it on a mirror server and test it out there. Or, who knows, maybe they did. It just strikes me as something that say - ENTER LARGER COMPANY NAME HERE -would have all ironed out and tested before bringing any servers down in the first place. Then again, Turbine may very well not have the resources for something like that.


Regardless, I am glad to hear that Decal should be allright. Now that I don't have to manually buff anymore, I find that I have grown dependant on it again.....=P
