Predict the "next excuse" after the 2 hour ETA bug announcement...

Okay, time for a little fun.
We arleady had their excuse that they were painfully charging the cards slowly and expected launch "soon" as they were almost done with that blah blah...
Then at 4:am GMT, we got the "oh my at the last minute we found a critical bug that has to be resolved before launching" and an ETA of 2 hrs.
Now it's been an hour and half since then as I type this now. I'm sure their next announcement wont come at that 2 hour ETA, but rather 3, 4 or 5 hours later.. but what will the next excuse to not being the servers online be?
I predict something along the lines of this about 4 hours after that last statement (apprx 8:am GMT) -

"We have been tirelessly working to resolve the bug that we luckily discovered before our official launch. We fully understand that you are probably more then anxious to log into Agon as the first settlers at the birth of our new world, but we must make you wait just a little longer and we ask for your continued patience.
The bug we reported earlier is the direct result of a network problem conflict with our {perfect} client. It seems that the servers are not able to properly communicate and this would certainly lead to many in game issues that we'd rather not have you as our customers have to experience first hand. We are working tirelessly with the network company to get this ironed out so that we might bring you the best possible gaming experience as you set your first steps into our new virtual world!
We would love to give an ETA for this, but this is a rather impossible solution to predict a time of resolve on. Please stay patient and we will continue to keep you informed.
The Darkfall Team"

Sounds about right doesn't it?
- What's your best guesses? Humor is certainly welcome at this point as well!

"We've been working tirelessly trying to figure out another lie to keep you on the hook, sadly we cannot resort to having Tasos string you along as he is passed out in the corner from tonights vodka party. We will alert you to our new lie within the next 4 hours"
I'm Awesome, Deal With It.
I predict no more delays. After the two hour window is up, they will officially launch . . . LEGO Batman Online.
Zombie Jesus raptors attack Greece! Head straight for AV! Tasus must flee the country quickly with all of the funds to ensure Darkfall can rise anew!
Holy shit! Jeebuz again?!
"We are waiting for conformation your... our money has reached our Cayman Islands account..."
My favourite excuse was when SOE blamed the failure of the PotBS launch in NA on the California Bushfires.
The fact that the Bushfires started the day before the release date and distribution should have been almost totally complete by then didn't factor in? True Story.
Nothing says irony like spelling ideot wrong.
"We've solved the bug issue, thank you for your patience.
Unfortunately he brought along his big brother. Expect downtime for at least another 6-8 hours.

hahaha, i like this one. Short, to the point, and incredibly vague. Thats exactly their style

"We are currently working hard to resolve the bug that was discovered earlier this morning and plan to have it rectified in a few hours. Maybe longer. Right now we are working with our ISP to resolve some issues we have been having with Travelocity.com's ticket confirmation system. We will let you know our progress as soon as this issue is resolved."

"Please ignore the last posting. We are a bit tired and may have said somethings that we didnt need to inform you of."

There are 3 types of people in the world.
1.) Those who make things happen
2.) Those who watch things happen
3.) And those who wonder "What the %#*& just happened?!"
lmfao.
They gave three free days, im guessing this is thier targetted internal grace period. So expect the game up in the next 72 hours if all goes well. Heres hoping it does for the fans sake.
(cough) Baby Jebus...get it right.

LMAO. Good one. Scary too, probably too much truth in that guess! lol
"LuLz, thx for the loot. Bai"
Some of you may remember me from a couple of months back and some may not. I was a die hard rabid fanboy, defending AV and every move that they made.
I would like to take this time to officially eat every one of those words. In the immortal words of "Hitler wants a beta key", "This is BULLSHIT!!!" lol.
I predict something generic such as "We are still experiencing things beyond our control and cannot launch today. At this point there is no way to give a definite ETA. We are working to resolve the problem. We apologize if all these delays are causing you to want to fly to Greece and storm our headquarters. We will keep you informed. Of course it will be when we want to inform you, as we already have your money and don't really give a shit about you anyway. We look forward to seeing you in game."
Lawl.

Yup, its great that even the most diehard fanbois are now switching sides. Now if we could only get Downtoearth...
Well 2 hours has been up for a little bit now....
See this is where the vagueness comes in with the whole, "2 hours or longer" bullshit....
Due to a billing error we have doubled charged most accounts in a few amount of cases it may be triple charged. Due to things out of control we are unable to offer refunds. We will however credit all money towards your monthly subscription fee. We appreciate all of our fans in this time and we are doing all that we can to get the servers online.
Thank you,
Tasos
"After days of waiting banks finally approved all the credit that was pending. Just in time because we were running out of excuses. With that being said and done we would like to announce Adventurine's bankruptcy. After draining our accounts, we filed today at 10:00 PM (GMT +1:00).
Caveat Emptor bitches"

We just wanted to let everyone know that progress is being made and the servers will be online shortly. We had some issues with our current server and had to migrate the data to a new cluster. ETA is about 5 hours.
