Joke: 10 bucks that SOMETHING goes wrong during the move.

[Sega011]

Something will go wrong.

Our characters will be deleted.
Someone will lose a server.
A server will set on fire.
They'll decide to take vacation and forget to turn on the servers.

Go ahead. Start listing other things that could go wrong. :P

[Mysterious-G]

You only bet 10 bucks? You poor guy have more trust in SoA than you should. :p

[Alura]

something will go wrong? or something else will be added to the long list of things gone wrong?

[Kizeragi]

Now this has been posted, something WILL go wrong. :/

[Jainsea]

jezz :\ think positive for once? They don't need any help with us jinxing them =_=

[Zero-Sensei]

Hmmm.. Interesting...

[ashley50]

OP makes another thread about it after it actually happens.

[Zero-Sensei]

*Sigh.* I don't want to take sides on whether or not anything will happen.
What interests me is how many people have this on their minds at the moment. ^^;

[furrypaws]

Roll back to about 2 months after PSU original started.

[drizzle]

Rollback to MAG and call it MAG 2!

[Sega011]

Geez people its just a joke thread, relax a little bit. I just wanted to see other people poke fun at Sega. :P

[Cracka_J]

Rollback to MAG and call it MAG 2!

y'know...for some reason that sounds about right.

[Hiero_Glyph]

Technically you have already lost this bet as SEGA has charged your account for this month already. Not much of a wager is you ask me.

[Cracka_J]

I haven't paid since April. I dunno what you're talking about. ^^

[ashley50]

Geez people its just a joke thread, relax a little bit. I just wanted to see other people poke fun at Sega. :P

That's ALREADY been done a lot of times you know...

[Sega011]

That's ALREADY been done a lot of times you know...

Sigh... Really, you could just not come into threads you don't like. Sure, people make fun of Sega a lot. I was just asking people to come up with random ideas of what could happen during the move for the sake of entertainment. Chill. Out.

[Xefi]

jezz : think positive for once? They don't need any help with us jinxing them =_=


yes, think positive now.

[Ken_Silver]

Was waiting for a doomsday thread.

Now it's time to let loose:

Lightning Strikes the New Servers
The GM attempt to back up the serves using Microsoft Vista
Sega of Japan doesn't give them the reboot "code" or something of the like
Robbers attack the moving servers and sell them for cash on E-bay
A Dog takes a whizz on the servers, confusing them for a Fire Hydrant
While re-fueling the truck Chill or Ruby makes a phone call, causing the truck to explode (Chill or Ruby still lives though)
The servers reboot it uber rare drops, resulting in a rollback
The servers reboot up with uber rare drop missions and a rollback is impossible, thus breaking the in game economy in two
The servers reboot without MAG 2 and a bunch of rabid fans attack SOA HW
One server is stolen and a player free server pops up 3 weeks later
Hackers get a hold of the servers and Zero out everyone's PM
Jesus comes down from heaven and takes over the servers, making the game godly

...phew. I think I did my fair share.

[Mysterious-G]

Jesus comes down from heaven and takes over the servers, making the game godly


I lol'd. A bit. :p

[Sasamichan]

Dumbest thread ever. I'll put $10 that nothing will happen.

(Delays or minor bugs don't count.)

[Merumeru]

XD i only imagine that itll take longer than expected

[Anduril]

I doubt too much can happen to the data on the servers, I mean they probably have it backed up to another location in case of emergency right? I'm of the opinion that if anything goes wrong it will just be that the servers won't be back up for a little longer that scheduled.

[Simmy]

I predict everyones gear will be gone along with our photon arts, forcing sega to give us free goods like c rank wands and free clothes. LMAO

[DAMASCUS]

No no people. They'll run out of money to fill the gas-powered generator thats powering the database backup.

I blame gas prices..

[MUDGRIP]

Well I personally laid a spike strip in front of their moving vans....so there going to have to walk.

Oh ye of little faith. It may take longer than a few days but we will have PSU back. I really think if they took the servers down early it would be such a bad business move by Sega. So many PS fans would lose what little faith we have left and probably never try a PS game again.

The funny thing is, there already in the mail :D

[Ken_Silver]

Remember folks, its a joke topic. No one should take anything said in this thread seriously.

Let loose a litte. After all, the best way to deal with fustration is to laugh about it.

Personally, I believe that it will go well without a hitch, but this topic is about having fun with the idea. So go along with it or find another thread. :D

[Cracka_J]

Let loose a litte. After all, the best way to deal with fustration is to laugh about it.

lol, seriously, right?

Most of the reason people visit these forums is to have a place to discuss both the good and bad issues of the game we all play. If you can get excited over the good stuff and discuss it with a community, it's just as nice to have a place to vent and lol at when shit gets bad.

[Slampage]

ha thats the first thing that entered my mind when i heard about it

[Noblewine]

I thought it was yesterday. =P

[strikershadow]

Question, who here things the move will be a "good" thing, and when I say that i dont mean the servers coming up on time, i mean with problems after the move? are they doing this because they think it will solve issues?

[BahnKnakyu]

Realistically, I think the server move is gonna end up taking longer than 2 days. Something will refuse to turn on and/or a cable might be cut, or something will be done incorrectly. Sega is not known to do things flawlessly. All joking aside, that's what I think - Murphy's gonna rear his ugly head and slap Sega in the face. I pray that they hired an IT consultant to do the move...

[Bear...]

dude it's sega of america were talking about here its not worth a bet its inevitable

[strikershadow]

I didnt mean the move being messed up, who thinks after the move and the games up (regardless if its delayed or not) will make the game better and we will get updates and stuff were suppose to, and no more errors?

[X--Hero--X]

R.I.P PSU...jk it's been dead. :)

[Masterflower]

<.< i wonder how many would care if their characters get deleted :3, i know i dont at this point, be a good enough reason to stop playing all together :3

[DarkEliteRico]

<.< i wonder how many would care if their characters get deleted :3, i know i dont at this point, be a good enough reason to stop playing all together :3
God seriously if that happened, i probably would be on the phone with someone getting my license stopped. To have multiple capped characters, a huge stack of hard earned money and good weapons to be deleted over someones stupidity means i don't need to be paying for piss poor service like that. Everything up to that is excusable to a point, but to take EVERYTHING away :-o

[malhese]

they do mess alot of things up, but hopefully they have this planned down to the "t" and even have a "zombie" plan. that would be reassuring. surely they will make a statement today about delays and what not if any.

[Yuudai_Riisu]

Either now or later ^^ servers will be shut down sooner or later haha

Server move! :D


Clumsy sure seems to enjoy this! Whoa man!

http://youtube.com/watch?v=2OAP8NEakUI


Mag is also delayed. Again.


For the fifth time.

[Dragwind]

If you're going to complain, bring it to the Rants: Dead horse Society forums. (http://www.pso-world.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=21) Don't bring your bashing here.

[DarkEliteRico]

Either now or later ^^ servers will be shut down sooner or later haha

That's a given, if shut down now with no warning they'd loose my future business as well.

[Danny_Dark]

!!!...Agreed...

SEGAC: Because Good Business is an Oximoron for Us.

[goldbrease]

i vote we stop trying to jinx ourselves here!

[LaMBoLOgy]

I have no faith in sega, But I try not to look towards a negative future.

[Kinako78]

i vote we stop trying to jinx ourselves here!

Agreed. I'm seriously starting to think some of you actually WANT something bad to happen. Yes, this topic was started as a joke which is why I held back from commenting, but then some people started getting serious about this.

Off-topic: Zarode, that 3rd video reminds me of one of my old monitors. XD

[Magician4]

I'll take that bet! ST can't be crazy enough to mess up everyone's data... I wish I could actually say that. But seriously what could possibly go wrong in two days (don't answer that :p)

[Gryffin]

I kinda think the truck will crash. :T


But the server's will be fine. And the GM's, because they'll be bubblewrapped and boxed carefully. :)

[Nitro Vordex]

Why has no one made a joke about $10 and the subscription yet? :/

I'm ashamed of all of you.

[Llord Bacchus]

c'mon yall ...

what could possibly go wrong moving thousands of dollars worth of equipment by a second-rate moving company in an earthquake-prone environment?

[Kinako78]

Why has no one made a joke about $10 and the subscription yet? :/

I'm ashamed of all of you.

I thought someone had.

[gryphonvii]

everyone gets spread needles, and sanges

[_Wolf_]

<.< i wonder how many would care if their characters get deleted :3, i know i dont at this point, be a good enough reason to stop playing all together :3

I dont know why but i actually wouldnt care, i think it would be fun (being forced) to start over my characters

[autumn]

To the videos posted, I LoLed. Alot. :D
And really, nothing will happen. Nothing could possibly evar go wrong.... :P

[Rescue]

Has anyone ever had the feeling of wanting something to go wrong just for the hell of it? I got that feeling now and it doesnt feel bad.

[Rescue]

Technically you have already lost this bet as SEGA has charged your account for this month already. Not much of a wager is you ask me.

There is your subscription joke right there...

[Noblewine]

*Crossing fingers* my data is unharmed after finally reaching lv 20 on Anga Dugrega.

[hans4]

lol maybe there will be some sorta screw up and when we get back online we will all have 99999999999999 mesta! :P

[gryphonvii]

if there is a screw up that affects us in a bad way, segac will tell us that we will be reimbursed shortly, if the screw up benefits us, say... we catch up on updates with JP, then Rollback.

[RemiusTA]

jezz : think positive for once? They don't need any help with us jinxing them =_=


...Am i the only one who thinks its pathetic when your fanbase has to think like this?

[Alastor_Haven]

For once

Just once

I'll agree with you

[Syl]

Let's just pray the hamster that runs the servers doesn't run away ;_;

[goldbrease]

Let's just pray the hamster that runs the servers doesn't run away ;_;

the hamster joke used to be funny.... untill every mmo in the world decided to use it lol.

[CelestialBlade]

Quite frankly I don't see what could possibly go wrong.

...what?

[S.T.K]

Quite frankly I don't see what could possibly go wrong.

...what?

um.. some files could have been forgotten, or not backed up
and they get lost forever when they shut the server down..

which is very possible..

i mean theirs millions of items in that game, what are the odds of nothing coming up missing?

[RedRaz0r]

jezz : think positive for once? They don't need any help with us jinxing them =_=

No offense, but are you stoned? ITS SEGA!!!! WE ARE THINKING POSITIVE!

[Dark Emerald EXE]

No offense, but are you stoned? ITS SEGA!!!! WE ARE THINKING POSITIVE!


Hmmm so from what was said...............Thinking "Negativily" bout SEGA is actually thinkin "positivly"??????

o_0

[Zarode]
