Ummmm, nothing against PL... but any of you ever hear about this amazing place....? it's called outside? ;) might be stuff to do out there also! PL will come back online eventually, but until then how about doing something interesting? (this does not mean sitting on a chat/forum waiting for a downed system to start back up...)
It's great that you're in the same field and have an understanding of cloud computing in Austrailia, but that doesn't mean that you completely understand the situation at hand here with Amazon Web Services. I asked my buddy who is in the cloud computing industry with clients on this same EC2 setup, why they just switch servers or have multiple cloud providers as a fail safe. What he told me was that Amazon wraps their customers up pretty tightly and their customers have to go through difficult protocols just to switch their providers if something happens.
The thing is it costs alot of money to have the backup plans setup. STS is only a year old and has grown tremendously only recently. Cinco did mention that they were planning to address the growth of the company and re-evaluating their cloud service in another thread prior to this crash. The thing is, cloud computing isn't supposed to crash like this. It's meant to have redundancies to compensate for a failure at a data center which makes it a bad on Amazon. Yeah it would be great to have a backup data center setup like Netflix did but shoot that's megagiant Netflix. Alot of bigtime websites and companies with much more money than STS went down with this crash as well. They didn't even have backup plans. Money. You guys can be armchair CEOs at home in front of your computers calculating the number of players and average platinum purchases but in reality, you know jack so don't point fingers.
I'm new to this game (like the day before the outage new) and I have to say (minus a few very small cases of impatience and sarchasm) I am very impressed at how little negative responses there are to the developer and how well the maker of PL is handling this situation. Well done to all of you, you are brilliant advertisements to this game and community.
I think I'm going to enjoy hanging around here for a while....
LOL - I ventured into RL yesterday and found I had a wife and kids!!! There were neighbours and shops, and all sorts of other mad things..... I've even got a motorbike!!! I've always wanted one of them.....
Might not have time for PL, what with my new life..... LOL
Whats the latest news?
How many hours will it cost before we can play again?
Soon my friends - the server lives and will return to your good graces very soon!
Until God shows his guidance to amazon and friends, check out this game on the android market to get ur fix.
