Happening now ... can't be so fast but i am fast .

uploading pics ... wait

The forums load so slow and are very unreachable this is happengin for like 30 mins right now ... even more til the end of this post (1 hrs when i posted pics)

Got to use a proxy since the sites were totally unreachable from my location.

EDIT: I am not sure but they are stating maintenance all over gearbox forums.

EDIT2: FIRST ACCESS submision site is ALSO DOWN.

EDIT3: GBX Website comment confirms it is a HTTP internal error 500 ... definitely a traffic, if it was real maintenance servers wouldnt jump up and down or show 500 errors.

EDIT4: First access submission appears to be on now , however forums still down.

stay tuned ...

I can still use and refresh the fac page, I have had it open for a while though with no intention of closing it anytime soon, soon I now hate that word.

GB probably said something about hoping the servers crash, with people so excited about DNF comming out, I think I read that somewhere but I cant remember where.

More likely they'll use this as excuse that there won't be a demo on June 3rd. God I hope I'm wrong...

...How exactly would the forums being down translate to no demo? Actually, why would Gearbox even want an excuse to not release the demo? They'll just email everybody their codes tomorrow, no matter what state the forums are in.

Well I doubt the servers crashed, I bet Gearbox is doing maintenance to get ready for the demo. Probably will be new forums since they said they'd add a spoiler forum closer to release.

Well I never saw that, oh well it sounds like something he would say, anyway I can read minds even if sometimes I am unaware of it, yes that would explain how it was familiar, doesnt matter how far away, I can read you.

Put that on your banana.

What? you dont want to? See, just read your mind.

he got the trending many times

now he gets the crash ! before release

EDIT:

Can't you all get it guys , sish , it's a reference to the famous 2007 DNF trailer SHACKNEWS.COM crash, which was a freaking serious crash ...

for old times sake ... DNF gets delayed a month, and servers crash again :angry:

... the epic tale , i mean , it can't be more perfect , i know this thread will be history written that's why i made it !

Servers spontaneously crash, go down, or are taken down for maintenance. Nothing to be alarmed about in my opinion. :angry:

#22 Posted 02 June 2011 - 03:16 PM

Every time I'll access Gearbox, I'm in.

So, next is getting the demo inside scoop. It's like 3 June - 7 am in Australia. Posted Image

This will be a long night Posted Image

My mother actually had that thought. But midnight by 2k or midnight for GBX? Who knows.

Both FAC and GBX forums are down for me right now. Posted Image

I hope that's the hype hurting their servers and not just that they took them down for maint. Just for the sake of my Duketard ego.

I ended up with a 500ish error. I hope that this error gets fixed.... I know the servers are down so definately we'll get the demo tomorrow (I hope).

Hmmm. At the moment it's 9:27AM in australia, adelaide time. Ive stayed up most last night for nothing.. now i see gbx are down...
This better be some ridiculous way of making us nervous just so that they can upload our codes finally... i mean COME ON! of all the days that have passed here.. on the DEMO DAY they go down? :angry:

I give them 10 hours tops, if they havent manned up & given us aussies our demo by then im gonna skitz. :blink:

This is our day ... not tomorrow.. the day after that... TODAY!
