Re: Equal time among gamers?

Yes, Randy, I did ask Microsoft's customer service and NOC. I got back answers either they didn't see a problem, or they saw a problem but their customer service people couldn't find out from their their technical staff what was happening either. Microsoft's Game Zone does have some status pages, but as far as I could tell, unlike Everquest, Microsoft doesn't actually update their status when there is a problem.

they did update their status. there was no problem. just ask them. this syndrome is called telephantitis <tm>, as it is most commonly found infecting telephants, as has been much discussed here. randy
