While I am gone, please expect the following:
- All automated billing systems will continue to run normally, like they do while I am at the server.
- I will have limited access to all e-mail through my cell phone, but will probably not be bale to respond to e-mails directly -- however, if there is an emergency, I have appointed other qualified staff to act on my behalf
- I will have complete access to game status utilities to monitor and restart the game server in case the server unexpectantly stops (crashes, power failures, etc.)
- I will have complete access to account maintenance utilities and will not hesitate to suspend account access to anyone who causes problems for the game while I am absent. We will be running a zero tolerance policy while I am gone, so please don't try and take advantage of my absence.
- My staff can reach me during any emergency by cell or e-mail and will do so if there is a situation that requires my immediate attention.
- I have written an advanced server monitoring system that will notify my cell phone instantly if the game seems unavailable. In the event that the game is unavailable, I will use my utilities to remote-restart the game server, if available. If we are suffering a power failure (it happens) or some other catastrophy has caused the game to go offline, then it may be much longer.
- There will be no account suspension appeals during the time that I am gone.
- I will not be available for instant mesage or chatting while I am gone. I will leave my instant messages 'up' so that you may leave a private message for me, but do not expect a response until my return on 7/13.
Thank you and I'll see everyone when I return!
