Thank You Revisited

Just putting it out there, thank you Pirate Lee, Tassie Devil, Strider Legs, and of course all the techs that have worked so had on the recent log in and loading bugs. I don't know about the rest of the USA, but Lincoln, NE seems to be back online. True, the game is running a bit sluggish and the blue loading screen is sized wrong with two of four border areas showing white....but I can get in and I can play, and what would RC be with no bugs at all, right? (just joking there). It is good to be back, have been going bonkers. Thanks everyone, for your time, efforts, and willingness to pass on information from us players. Now, sprinkle a load of virtual D-Con all over the place, set off a virtual Raid fogger or two, and let's play. Yay!

 

I agree it is great to be back. Just spent the last four hours getting the city back in shape. Spent a couple of million of CC's on RI's that had expired, building a new powerplant, and spent all of my MM's on decoration to bring my mood back to normal. But loving it! What are a few little bugs between friends

 

*Sings: This bug is your bug, that bug is my bug, from Rising Cities, here is a bug hug...... (to Tune of This Land is Your Land, This Land is My Land)* Yes, so much to do, upgrades to finish and such. Events to do, CC's to gather and spend. *....This bug was made for you and meeeeeeeeeee*

 

Poor Woodie Guthrie is spinning in his grave. Or maybe not since he varied the song at almost every performance. Or would "We built this city" from the Starship be a better theme song fot the game.

Back on subject: Dear Mods I know you send these comments on to the powers that be. Oh great "Powers that Be" please, please tell the people that did the grunt work that we do appreciate their effort. Thank you.

 

*puts on bug costume, gets on knees and begins supplications* Oh Great Powers That Be.....hear this simple bug and grant my wish.....please do thank all those who worked so hard to get RC back up and running Thank You. (See, Billyjim, if you wear one of these they see you faster, right?)

 

Oh yeah they would see this beg fat juicy bug hiding in a piece of drift wood on the shore. Then they would step on me and I would be crushed. Uck. Not a good result. I will burrow a little deeper into my log. As I lay out prostrate in supplication to the great, almighty "Powers that Be":

Thank you for the blessing of reviving our communication to the greaat Rising Cities servers. So we your humble servants can once again access our beloved cities and receive your bounty. ​

 

*again with laughing my feathers off* Gonna run outta feathers...........

 

I have said this before. I can not wait to see a bald owl. I have seen a bald eagle, naked mole rat, but never seen a bald owl. Where are my pictures.

 

Here you go, one bald owl. Changed it just for you, and yes it is I. Back to bird once you see it.

 

I had to do the same thing as billyjim. Had to use all of my decorations in inventory and bought a whole bunch more to get my mood level up to get 100% rent. long ways to go but getting there.

 

Put it back, Put it back. Arrrrrgh. Just kidding. looking good. Missed the owl

 

Me thinks me saw Santa...

 

Ho, Ho, and Ho.....whatcha want for Xmas? I do deliver late when asked nicely

 

I don't know I had a completely different reaction to the game coming back

I enjoyed playing the game, played it every day for at least 2 hours a day combined got my city hall to level 6, and even spent some real money, I don't think I played long enough for my mood & energy to get screwed up

but since the game came back I think the most I played was 20 to 30 min total at least right now the game is definitely not the draw for me that it was before loading problem

 

I was just thinking the same thing. I still love the game but it is not an obsession it use to be. So may have been a good thing to have been away for several weeks. Who knows. Time will tell.

 

Please ignore the spastic and quivering owl in the corner, as he is still suffering RC withdrawal symptoms thank you very much Actually, I have to agree with you guys...before we had Bugageddon I was playing almost non-stop when I was at home, which was often. Now I find myself logging in every three or four hours (about the time it takes bricks to run) and collecting rent just that once. The upside is I have more time for other things, the downside is my revenues are waaaay down. Heck, I am not even bothering to do the events this week, as the prizes are not needed and land is becoming scarce even with the added playfields. Back on topic (my golly that's getting to be a recurring phrase in forum now isn't it?) I am still very grateful to all who worked their feathers off (do they have feathers?) getting the game back up and running; after all, even if we are playing less we are still playing...and intend to keep doing so.

 

I took a hiatus all these weeks as I don't deal well with frustration...but Geflin kept me informed. So will add my thanks to all who worked tirelessly to get the boo-boos unboo-booed P.S. hey, Geflin, keep your feathers on, that's ahem, well, you know

 

I was totally frustrated that the game wouldn't load. Kept waiting impatiently for two weeks, and then my dad died. He was 81 and went while taking a nap in his chair. (That's how I wanna go.) So, hubby and I had to take a trip out of state for a week to plan and hold the funeral. Was heartbreaking, costly, and very stressful. I sure will miss him.

Got home (11-12 hr drive each way) about a week later and promptly came down with this horrific flu; my immune system down most likely from all the stress. Hubby got sick, daughter got sick, hubby's boss got sick, kinda felt like Typhoid Mary... Anyway, finally got to play the game and realized that it had just come back online that day! Had been sorta bummed that I would probably miss a lot of time in the game (because who woulda thought it would take almost four weeks to fix?!), but turns out I didn't miss a thing except, of course, everything I lost in the Antiquity Fair Event. Didn't see anything in the Official Announcements about some type of reimbursement, did I miss something or do we get nothing for our losses?

 

Probably too soon to tell or we won't get anything for the events or lost revenues for anything else while we could not log in.

 

Another sad story. Sorry for your loss and hope everyone is better. You did not miss much since the game was down while all of this was happening. No no word yet about any compensation from BP yet.
