I've been chatting with these Cryptic fellows enough over the last 5 months to know that these are honest mistakes and not bad behavior.
Maybe so but even the lowliest code monkey straight out of university knows you don't push untested code onto live servers. Of course if you work in software development you already know this. Then Roper was *cough* economical with the truth in the eurogamer interview. It's my hunch he is culpable I guess as executive producer (or whatever his role is) the buck stops there anyway.
A live game is a whole new story to contend with. You have 100x more people trying to get in, there are bugs that are found that weren't there the day prior, and the stress is ten fold. I can see the delay, I just wish they would give us more updates as to the time they might be bringing everything back up.
