I was somewhat praying for it to be one of the bigger mmo's, Just think of the tears that would be shed if a wow sever with all hands is sunk.

Jeebus ... no DR backups, what in the world were those folks thinking?
Wonder if CCP has enough of a foresight to have DR backups housed in separate geos (in case London's totally nuked).

After boot.ini, the rate they must be making backups would be rival to none other than the Svalbard Global Seed Vault.

firstly, lol.

secondly, wtf:

The shutdown brings the whole microtransction model into question. If persistent games can disappear so abruptly, and for such an easily avoidable reason, then all of a sudden those fancy in-game items don't seem like such a solid investment.


I am shocked by the revelation that buying pixels is suddenly not a solid investment Roll

Haven't heard/read anything from their infra boffins regarding DR planning, for all we know, most (if not all) of their eggs are in the London cluster.

My point was that CCP has pretty much always been on top when it comes to maintenance. More so than ever.
