Its wierd to say the least. I don't get emails from my 2 factories on Bria anymore, but my 1 factory on Shadowfire that I use to make my Ranger supplies still gives an email upon completion.

Oh now that is weird! I've got 7 factories running full tilt, and I can't even begin to describe what a pain in the butt this is!

Ya, its one of the Ground Regression Issues that the DEVs are working on to fix. I'm not 100% certain that this is correct, but I believe that if you redeed the Factory and place it again, you should receive Emails again.

Woot. Not going to redeed them though... they're all too busy to do that, lol. I'd really like to see an update on the factories so that it emails ALL admins on the list when they're done. Like most people I have a character that owns my structures (actually two), because my crafting toon is using all his lots for harvestors. Heck, he's using all the available lots from ALL my toons!!!

This would be a nice feature; however I think that it might cause more Database issues then it is worth. Think about how many people have Admin rights on a building but never log on to check their Email. We are already seeing a problem with Database stability that is impart due to Lot Swappers. Just imagine how much Database room is being taken up by Factory completion Emailbecause ofFactory Lot swappers....

Well to be quite frank about it all, instability of the database is a horrible example of SOEs incopetence. I'm a system administrator by trade, and have worked with major RDMSs for many years. Industrial databases such as SQL Server, Oracle, MYSQL, and others can handle multiple millions of records easily. On a single server. In a large cluster you could easily handle billions of records. SWG doesn't begin to reach the upper limits of what major corporations handle every day with their portals. It's probably more an example of SOE not wanting to spend over a certain amount on their equipment than is probably truly necessary.
