Thank you, SE employees...

Enduring what? The ocean is like 100 feet from my window, it's winter time, and I have no heating. When summer comes I'll also have no air conditioning. The majority of anyone who's ever experienced lower class living has dealt with the same thing on a daily basis. It's not really that big of a deal. I'm glad the servers are coming back up, but no AC isn't really that wild.

You have no heating? I am sure that is your own decision. You can not site on a computer, using internet & pay to play a game & expect people to feel for you cause you have no heat. Sell all your belongings to get heat & if this is still not possible after that then I may be able to sympathize a little. But people who put their "entertainment" before necessities are just greedy & get zero support.

I wasn't asking for support was I? I was saying that going without AC is something poor people do quite often so it isn't really the end of the world.

between the ppl and the computers/servers giving off heat...I can see that cutting the AC would actually be a sacrifice...maybe not in the 1st day or 2 but eventually the computers would cause the place to heat up...that I say from experience...computers alone (1 computer) can give off quite a bit of heat...

so yeah I appreciate SE making the sacrifice of shutting off the AC and some of the lights to allow the energy needed for the servers to be back up
and actually...I told my husband that Fri was when I think we'd be able to get back on...and it looks like early Fri morning is it ^-^

yeah i guess. I have central air and could not live through the summer without it. I have a pool that i keep about 85-90 Degrees Celsius. I hardly went outside last summer (in Ontario, Canada) because of the heat & when I did it was a night time to go for a swim, then back inside to cool off.

I could honestly say that I would sell every toy I own if that is what I had to do in order to keep my Central Air. My comfort comes before pleasure, that is how I look at life. Poor people have things backwards. Too many times I see people with little money get a pay check/welfare check & they go to the bar, buy their drugs or go get new clothes. I do not fee sorry for them having no AC or anything. Wake up & decide what is important.

If SE is willing to cut AC & dim their lights then it is not really that important. They would not jeopardize the servers or company in a way that could cause harm to anything/anyone. It is nice to hear that they are going to reduce power elsewhere to compensate for the servers running. This is the first this SE has done right in a long time, bout time & I thank them for it.

They might not even have window to open you know... I know most office buildings around here don't.

Have you ever worked in office building with no AC. I have let me tell you it is a big deal AC is not just for cool air its the building air exchange system. Without AC even for one day the air in building will get very stale very fast and humidity will be almost unbearable. So cool it and be glad we have a tentative date now when we can play game again. SE could have just said sry servers will be down till full power is restored which in all likelihood will be months from now.

Thank you, SE employees
This is good news

~Finer details of office Ac~

Thank you, SE employees
This is good news

It's good news for the players... not so good for the workers i guess xD.

[slakyak]

Thanks SE... you're the best (I'm not being sarcastic, honest!)

When the heating broke at the office I used to work at we downed tools and went home as it was 14C inside. More recently my place of work had a power failure and the lights and heating went off... again we moved to another place. So I /kneel to your commitment to getting the servers back up.

Also as they are still there I assume that they have been working on *something* while the servers are down so maybe we will benefit in the quality of future content.
