    I think it's a new way of advertising for a network engineer, it's not always gun n run :D

    Yep the authentication servers are still down. Looks like someone didn't anticipate the opening day would be during the summer when every kid has nothing to do but play AA3. Hopefully they will get this fixed before public opinion turns against them.

    They had a Beta run, but I guess Betas aren't what they used to be. I think they're used as an advertisement scheme nowadays, instead of a testing ground to let deranged peeps (like me) play around with their games and try to find breaks and glitches and report them.

    They had this problem when they first released the game and the first major upgrade, so you would think they would learn from their first mistakes, but obviously not. Lets hope it's fixed by the time I want to play on the weekend, screw the rest of ya :D

    Well on the downside, it's still freezing on me this morning.

    On the upside, I got credit for the training I took yesterday, even though it kept freezing on me.

    And the Facebook page I created for AA3 now has 55 members. Notice the nod given to the group in my quiet little spamming way. If I don't have everyone here classified as admin, give me a yell and it will be done.

    I had to make a new account to be able to play the game guys, the account I did and linked when we could months ago seems to be wiped, I re-added my old AA2 account to the new AA3.

    The names we reserved do not work Mayday as i found out.
    We have to launch the game and create our account again :( luckily my nick was still free.

    I was then able to login, don't really know if i can bother with a game like this though. I mean what's next?

    The name i reserved still worked on the forums though???
