My day job Town Hall meetings are when the senior management decides to tell the rest of the company how the numbers are. What's amusing is that no one cares about the numbers except for senior management. The rest of us want to know if our jobs are stable, if we're going to get bonuses, and how much that is. Maybe a little on new directions and business. But it's always a "pat yourself on the back" type speech. That doesn't help anyone. Linden needs to get off their high horse and fix the problems. Or else if a mass exodus happens, the only people to blame will be themselves. Another thing to point out. It's a wonder why these scaling issues aren't solved already. Someone close to me pointed out that it's not like they have "great graphics" or anything. This is from a non-gamer. What does that say about your product if it's also unstable and not very beautiful? That’s exactly my point.

It's time for them to fix the code and stop yammering. Town Hall meetings? Screw that, just give me a platform that goes 24 hours without a single problem. It's really getting <i>that</i> bad. Let's hope today's 2+ hour downtime brings some more stability instead of instabilities. Actions speak louder than words. It’s time for them to fix the code and stop yammering. Town Hall meetings?
