I wonder how long will they take till they restore it back again. Any bets?[/b]Proooobably not next maintenance. The cycle it has to go through is this:
1: We determine that there's a problem
2: We devise a solution
3: We present problem/solution to Mgame
4: We work with Mgame to refine the solution
5: Mgame plans how to implement the solution
6: Mgame designs the solution
7: Mgame tests the solution on their end
8: Mgame sends us the solution
9: We test the solution
10: It goes live.
I'd say we're probably on step 6 or 7 right now (which, despite the fact that this process is divided into 10 equal steps, probably accounts for 80-85% of the production time. The remaining 3 to 4 steps account for the remaining 15-20% of the time). If I turn out to be wrong, however, and this ends up getting blown apart in testing then it will take longer. This is why me actually talking to you about this process is generally counterintuitive, and considered a bad idea, as any number of things could go wrong and need to be redesigned until a final workable solution is arrived at, but I wanted to give you some idea of why it takes so much time.[/b]
