and they were such lovely harvesters....I'm going to miss them.

Please tell me the problem you guys are investigating is the "could not lock dynamic vb/vi 2087" crash that many people are experiencing since the April 2nd hotfix.

let's all give the devs a break. we play TC knowing that it is unstable. despite this, we play on. despite the warnings, TC has proved to be a remarkably stable server. r5 has done a LOT to improve communication with us: he has 150 posts, and 94 of these posts have been since the devs started giving us update notes and created the 'In Testing' forum.

we've seen a lotfewer (still too many, but dropping all the time) threads that don't belong on the 'galaxies : test center' forum. r5 and other devs have been ingame and communicative. we're getting update notes almost daily.

I won't say that the system is perfect, but it IS much better, and it IS improving. giving the devs the benefit of the doubt over a weekend is the least they deserve in return.

and despite what some have said, TC was NOT universally down over the last day and change... many players WERE able to log in. I wasn't one of them, but thinking that our subjective experiences are global is untenable.

Test Center is back up.
