    funny with all the whining that USA has an advantage right?
    The two top people in it are USA and Switzerland. -_-
    It's a game remember that. If you're upset over this, your in for a long journey with life,

    Bio c'mon dog, if its a competetion it should be fair after all. It is kinda bull that some people have got a definite advantage over others with timezones already, but thats an inevitability of global servers. This is just making it harder for players in inconvenient time zones.

    Also, maybe I'm being an idiot, but
    Doesn't that show that there is an advantage for people in the US of A?

    Not quite sure if you know, but Switzerland is actually in the middle of Europe. Also I had to "pause" for nearly 24h due to a crash issue and am still doing good in the competition. And btw, if the server runs exactly 7 days, nobody gets a disadvantage since all timezones are covered equally. Some might start earlier but then also end earlier. So not sure how some guys think it's unfair. Let's just hope it's back up soon. Oh and before I forget. It's not all about winning, it's also about having fun.

    If the top two players are from US and Switzerland...how does that show that people in the US players have an advantage? Looks like its pretty even to me with one US player and one Euro player leading the way.
    Honestly it wouldn't have mattered when the competition started, someone would be inconvenienced by the start time. I think the start time was chosen more for the convenience of those that are running it more than for those who are in it.

    To clarify, I'm having fun other wise I wouldn't be playing, and I only started yesterday evening because I was busy, but I do wanna say something.

    Competitions are for winning. Fun is nice, but glory is better after all.

    For heavens sake, it's only a game. Yes it's inconvenient to have the server down for hours but it's not the end of the world. Go play single player and look ahead in the quest book. Give yourself an agenda for what to do when the server comes back up. Stop whining about your timezone and how unfair it is. Some people don't have anything to do. My area of USA is on school vacation this week. Some people don't work. Everyone has a different amount of time to invest in the game. I don't hear anyone complaining that they are missing play time because of sleep or having to eat. Timezones don't mean anything in the grand scheme of things and you guys who are making this an issue should grow up just a little. Seriously. It's only a a game.

    Alrighty guys - We've got some bad news. Looks like the hard-drive on the server filled up earlier today...Generally not a huge issue, but unfortunately, when checking the initial setup, I totally forgot to check the config for the backups. So this entire time, not a single backup was made. This was a huge error on my part, and I'm very, very sorry for the oversight.

    Due to the harddrive filling up - pretty much everyone who was online lost thier region - only about 40k got written out to each of the open files. Without the auto-backups, there's no way to recover the lost data. We're still working out how we're going to handle this - but for the moment, the OZ2 event is on hold. Please keep an eye on the forums for further information on this.

    Again, apologies to everyone. I'm terribly sorry for this mistake, and feel awful for having wasted everyone's time spent on this event. :(
