That sounds more risky than putting peanut butter on your (CENSORED) and trying to get a bj from a pack of wild wolves who ironically like peanut butter.
Wait, so you're saying "I know you already paid your money, but the servers suck and they plan on getting better ones sometime in the future (who knows when)" and it's supposed to make me go "oh those poor indi devs, whatever can they do to improve performance with their measly $30 million + in sales?"
I don't think so. Fix the damned server. Now.
You sound american. Also, learn "to patience", *****.
That may be the most ignorant and rude thing I've heard in quite some time. Yes, all Americans are exactly the same. We're all clones in fact. If you talk to one, you'll no doubt conclude that we're (every single one of us) rude, impatient, entitled, and sarcastic. And we eat too much. Also, porn is big here. And movies.

It's called beta, deal with it. Now if this happened on the full release, okay. But right now it is basically saying "I'm full of bugs, that is why I am in the mode I am in at the moment"

Are you implying that a European making a sweeping generalization about Americans is suprising? lol

"Beta" is one thing. Not being able to maintain a site that 10's of THOUSANDS of paying customers are trying to access, and on a 14+ Million dollar budget, is wrong. Not even having a mirrored site to fall back on is even worse.

Coming from a guy that runs a server hosting service that was down so much he finally had to stop offering hosting, that means a lot. Don't you hate it when customers want you to give them what they paid for?

Well, not a pointless response from you again.
I know they are fixing it. The fact that it happened in the first place is the real problem when this down time was EASILY avoidable. Give me even 1 million dollars and you would have never even known that the migration happened.

And you... a person not affiliated with anyone, is speaking on their behalf why?

Well, I am not saying this should be happening, but it isn't like this was no possibility, like I said, its beta, meaning bug fixing, and like Coral said. It isn't like hes just going to leave it like this. So be patient and less QQ because you can't spend a day of your life doing other things.
OK, I can understand the server going down every now and then but this is ridiculous. How could Notch really think that after he hit the 500k users mark that the current servers could handle the load of twice that? I bought 4 copies of the game for my family ($81.93 USD) expecting to be able to host a in home server for us to all play on. Kinda hard with the authentication server bugging out nearly constantly. Being a programmer for so long I would think Notch would've had the foresight to plan for this. Maybe a different method of authentication is in order? I have noticed my clients have to constantly talk to the server otherwise our "skins" and such don't stay loaded. Why not have it so once you're logged in the client doesn't have to retrieve the data constantly? Just a suggestion.
Gonna go play single player (which I was doing before i shelled out money for the game).......
Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
Beta Server Specs: AMD X2 4200+ proc (2.2 Ghz), 4 Gigs DDR2, 1.5 Terabyte data drive & 80 Gigabyte boot drive, Win 7 pro 64 bit. System load with 4 players >40%.

Very indecent comment.
I am far from being American (if you check my nick very closely you might figure where I'm from) but I so agree with him. Seriously, I love Notch for this game, but 1,000,000 sold accounts ~12 million €. The number's been exploding recently, so Notch could've figured. Also he sure did have the money to buy a couple of server before.
Don't quite get why he doesnt provide a support server so we can atleast play until the server's migrated.
Downtime couldve been easily avoided, and I as a customer (who might even be charged for further updates) feel ****ed with :/
I wonder if likes peanut butter.

However, they should put out an update on what is causing the problen and when they anticipate it will be fixed.
I was hungry...

I said (correction: screamed) that a few times, and if you go to the top of this page, the "Development Blog" is the one i was talking about.
