I've only been playing for a week, but so far the server has gone down every Friday (by that I mean, twice), and at least last Friday it seemed to be down for a really long time. Last week was really disappointing for me because I'd only discovered the game the day before, and I'd been looking forward to playing some more all day long. Getting home from work only to find the server down for most of the night was depressing.
Today I've got my first palisade to finish building, and I was hoping to get it done early so I could hang with the BF for the rest of the night. Now it looks like I might be doing it tomorrow night instead. I was, once again, looking forward to playing all day today.
Anyway, last Friday involved a lot of logging into the game over and over again (last week the whole HnH website seemed to be down), until I got mad enough to go find something else to do. Today, I got to walk around my camp for a short time before it crashed. Then I checked the forums, saw they were up and the server was down, and went and laid in bed for awhile. Then I rechecked about half an hour later. I guess when the overly addictive game crashes it's time to turn my attentions to the "real world". Dumb real world! The BF better get home soon to entertain me!
