Quake3 Outage Tonight
by Steve Gibson, Nov 22, 1999 5:01pm PSTGot some bad news for you guys who wanted to play Quake3 late tonight (early tomorrow) on the net, it's not gonna happen. Here is word from Disruptor on what's going down:
We're going to be off the net at 4am CST on the 23rd (read: In about 12 hours) for an ISP switchover. No ETA on how long we'll be down. Just a heads up in advance to let you know all the demotest clients will fail authentication as a result of our outage.

Yeah, everyone, ask for your money back! Oh wait, did you pay for the test demo? ;)
It doesn\'t matter if its a couple of hours, a day or a week. It makes no difference.
When I buy Q3 I want to play the game, not ask permission every time and occasionally be told \"no\". Fuck that.
Plus 4.00am CST is peak time overseas for some people, fuckhead.
(I do mean that in the nicest way possible. The keycheck just pisses me off)
Holy christ, settle the fuck down people. It ain\'t the end of the world. It might even be only for a couple hours. Get over it.
This is actually very shitty of id. They should have upgraded their servers a couple weeks ago before they forced this CD-verification shit down our throats. There is no excuse for this.

PS - Sarcasm is in there somewhere... you have to look. I don\'t really care, cause I\'m in Toronto, and it\'s really, really early at that time here. Course, if I wasn\'t on this continent, I\'d be pretty pissed.
