I am staring at this message... keep in mind it is 8:00 PM CST here.

Welcome to MAG

We're sorry, but the MAG servers are currently offline for maintenance.

The MAG server maintenance window is Monday through Friday, 2am - 4am PST (5am - 7am EST, 4am- 6am CST, 3am - 5am MST). The MAG server may be unavailable during this time.

It is 8PM on opening day of the game... I played for 15 minutes and the server went down. I'm frustrated...

well if you have ever played any online game on opening day the servers always go off line.

Why? because every person and their mother is online at the same time trying to play the game.

I don't understand it myself, but I have been playing on and off for at least four hours, so I'm at least satisfied for my first day. If I had to guess, it's because the maintenance was extremely urgent and couldn't wait until 4am tomorrow morning. Kind of strange, since I didn't notice any server problems or (much) lag while playing today.

(By on and off, I mean at any point where I wasn't working or sleeping between midnight and right now.)

Yeah the servers will be back up in 15 minutes. It's just we don't know when "15 minutes from now" was, as mag.com isn't working either.

Servers crashing on opening day isn't anything new.

 

[SnootyEnglishman]

this is what happens when you make a game with space available for 256 people at one time.

 

[dmase]

I've heard rumors from lots of people saying mag will crash reguarly just to many players.

 

[Miles Tormani]

The server is back up, by the way.

This was one of the games I was considering getting a PS3 for, but it got mediocre reviews anyway. I guess not.

it is a 256 Console game!
they should probably rename this game to 'LAG' because i get a feeling there will be a lot of that in game.
