Picture an old naval war movie. In a german U-boat. There is steam coming out of broken pipes and seals everywhere you look. People are shouting at the top of their lungs..the sailors are all sweating and dirty from all the oil leaks and dirty over flowing bilge pumps...

Dials and meters are all in the red zone, bells and alarms are going crazy along with a pulsating red light indicating imminant hull breech.


For some reason I don't think the Cryptic servers are much more advance than that.

lol Thanks for the laugh. Bleak, man. Bleak. :p

i was going to go with the scene from 2001 with the servers going "sorry dave i cant do that", meanwhile one of the devs are floating outside the building in some bubble pod demanding to get back in

unfortunatly there are accidents and the servers kill one of the devs who floats off into space with a ruptured air hose.



But noone said the MMO business would be easy

I can just imagine the expressions on their faces...

Red alert red alert Server Status: Undergoing Maintenance NOT Photon torpedo Direct hit

Scotty Says Im giving all she got.

I was thinking about The Old man In the Cave episode of Twilight Zone
