I'm sorry I haven't updated the blog in the last couple of days, about the ongoing situation. To be honest I just haven't had the time, even though I've been in-game and grinding. Now though, the grinding has come to an end. In typical Acclaim fashion the servers were switched off with just a few hours notice, and if you didn't happen to be online at the time, you didn't get the message.

No doubt many of you are wondering about the promised 10x event that was planned for tonight. Ravenclaw/Kane started that event last night at midnight and let it run until the server shutdown at midnight PST. Not fair to many of you, but that is Acclaim. Sometimes I get the feeling that Acclaim has been run by this guy...



That guy is about to cook a chicken, and the chicken isn't even scared. Maybe the chicken knows more than the cook? You could probably say the same about Acclaim.

Anyway, so where are we at now?

We don't have a game to play, and I sincerely doubt that anything can be done to fix the situation today, tomorrow, or even this weekend. The people at G1 have a team building fun day going on today, even though I know many of them are actually at work trying to deal with this situation. From what I understand, it's all in the hands of the lawyers right now and no one can say what will happen in the near future.

And I'm sorry to say, that's all I know. Normally I'm better informed than this and I'm just as unhappy as the rest of you. Please check in here at least daily because I will post what I know or find out, and if you want to chat please join us in the IRC channel. There is a link on the top bar that will get you an almost instant connection.

Stay happy people, and maybe go do some real life stuff for a change. My wife and I are going to the movies tomorrow night! And if you really have to do something game-related, I'm going to leave the league deco contest open at least until G1 reopens the game.
