Thanks, JM.

we've had a lot of wind and rainstorms in Seattle this week, and more potentially on the way... heck the power in my house went out a couple times as well. not sure where physically the servers are located here but I'm not surprised they're also feeling the brunt of the storms.

and yeah, I play on a Whirlwind server, so I had the outage issues too >.

@JM

Oh yes. Because there's 8 different power lines outside my house connected to 8 different power companies all vying for my business. Yeah, power outtage? No problem! I'll just switch to a more reliable power company!

Seriously? Time to find "more reliable power"? Power outtages happen. It's no one's fault. No one can prevent them 100% of the time, and last time I checked, there's not much more than 1 option for electricity in any given region.

...more reliable power indeed... Bah.

@JM

Oh no! I've just had a power outtage. Silly power company. So unreliable. I'll just walk outside and switch to one of the other 18 individually owned and operated power lines outside and switch my service to a new company that's more "reliable".

Seriously? Time to find "more reliable power"? Power outtages happen. Get over it. They can't be prevented 100% of the time, especially in inclement weather. And there aren't 18 different power companies vying for Blizzard's service, either. There's one electric company. One set of power lines.

...switch to more reliable power indeed... Bah!

Yeah, that's right.

How do you like them apple?

did Alex Ziebart have too much candy today?

Clearly, if power is indeed their issue, all they must do is listen when they try to click to put the off-line servers up, they'll be given one of three instructions and hence, a way to solve the problem;

"We need moar mineralz, mine moar mineralz"
"We need moar Vespene Gas"
"Build moar Pylonz"

Solved.
