Not from the Escapist, from life.

I nearly had a heart attack, you inconsiderate monster.

perma ban from life is a mandatory sentence for a act that unholy.

It can't load the page. The suspense is killing me

 

[Weaver]

Sour about that site crash

 

[doublenix]

Same here. I'm all hyped up like the 16 year old when I got BG1 on launch. Think it was Xmas eve or something like that and I stopped everything to pick it up.

 

[Ramith]

Well I am no specialist, but apparently this is what happened...

here is twitter feed from the guy in charge: "servers have buckled #baldursgate.com is not a happy camper".
I think he posted a meme to describe what just happened to his servers as well, but I can't load it on this network.

 

[zidine100]

ehm wat, it loaded, but its not not updated timer just disappeared a bit.

 

[doublenix]

Dang, it died again.

 

[Meight08]

Got the site again for 3 seconds still at countdown.

 

[Sintrea]

My prediction.
Mass Effect's space Hamster survives... and the tales continue.

GO FOR THE EYES BOO!

 

[Verzin]

not surprised. I think the server overload is preventing them from updating it!! haha!

 

[BreakfastMan]

Good to see I am not the only one having problems with the site... I need to know about a new Baldur's Gate game, damnit!

 

[Keava]

Why can't they just announce stuffs on Twitter/send out short press release to all gaming sites. Saves frustration with servers dying at 00:00:01

 

[Verzin]

we all must know...the suspense up to this point was AGONY!! pure unadulterated AGONY!! then the servers crash......rageface.

 

[zidine100]

right, youve asked for it, feel the might of my F5 KEY WEBSITE,

WEBSITE MEET REFRESH, REFRESH LOAD WEBSITE, ZIDINE SMAAAAAAAAAAAASH (avoided obvious evil meet my sword joke, but only barley.)


ehm, seriously this is frustrating, but i guess they really underestimated the demand. which could be a good sign?

Or just have multiple outlets open at the same time. A youtube vid with just music and words. A fb post, etc.
