This has to be one of my all time pet peeves of this game. The network status page that shows if servers are up or down really needs to be updated and fixed. I cant believe something like this was ever allowed to be put up. It isnt accurate at all. 9 times out of 10 what it shows is complete lies.

When I used to mod for Q2 and HL games we had a server status program that would not only tell you if the server was up but how the lag was, who the players were, and about 100 million other possibilities. Is SOE supposed to make us believe they cant code one simple page that tells if a server is up, loading, or down?

The network status page is HTML, like any other website, and must be updated by hand each time the servers go up and down. Most of the days, the servers are down for less then an hour, you really think there going to push TWO HTML page refreshes EVERY DAY in less then an hour because you can't read the message on the server select screen? Read a book for those 30 minutes.

There was a server status program made for Q3 that was designed and written by a 13 year old that is a heck of alot more accurate on servers you linked it too then our server page. This thing ran live. It updated every second or two. I used it in one of my old Q3 clan pages. Just open one text file and put in the server ip address and port then load it onto your webpage server and activate it. Took all of a 3 minutes to set up.

So what SOE is saying is that a 13 year old can out program and out do one of their uber leet PhD degree having webmasters.
