Re: Hardcore Area
My YA spewed out an 18\4 and the last bid I saw was over 4m, I think.
I think the SQ's are GI, Int, Fast and All-rounder

Re: Hardcore Area
Nice blah. B@b mm?
I've got a few for sale. Less traffic today means less bids I suppose.

That is one hell of a lot of f5 pressing!!!X11 wrote:Right now Xpert Eleven is taking a break due to maintenance and an application update. The site will be online again around 22:30 X11-time (Central European Time). If you still see this after 19:35 then hit F5 to refresh.

Re: Hardcore Area
1. Earlier warningWe've had a rough day with this upgrade and we're working really hard to get the site up and running again. We will work all night to get it done and at the moment we don't know when it will be up and running.
We therefore have decided to postpone all matches 23 hours from their original start time. We ask four your patience and we're really sorry.
Regards
wayne
The X11 Crew
2. Greater emphasis on setting your tactics for the next few days
1 or 2 would have been nice, someone responding to the XD article had to suggest a yellow band warning ffs.

Re: Hardcore Area
Postponing all matches by 23 hours is OK?
That is good warning, for them - admittedly as a (n ex-telecoms) PM I would have had a better fall-back then "we are workingas hard as possible etc" ie if it look effed, then roll-back to before the "upgrade", play the matches and try again later...

Re: Hardcore Area
I work in IT, and for this sort of thing they should have rehearsed the upgrade process on a copy, and they should know exactly the steps and how long it takes. Embarrassing for them this! I need my fix

Re: Hardcore Area
We know they have a beta testing site. Surely they could have used this as a clone environment?

Re: Hardcore Area
Clone is a much better word
And if they did, they could "do" the upgrade on the clone, then run the "game stuff" on the clone to bring it up to date, while the game was offline and make the clone live and it would be done.....

Maintenance...
We've had a rough day with this upgrade and we're working really hard to get the site up and running again. We will work all night to get it done and at the moment we don't know when it will be up and running.
We therefore have decided to postpone all matches scheduled to be played on wednesday 23 hours from their original start time. We ask four your patience and we're really sorry.
Matches played thursday from 9 to 13 will be postponed 4 hours in order to give time for setting the tactics.
