you accept the small risk of the listing ending during a server down/bugged situation


Most managers would probably accept a small risk, but the problem is these crashes have become so commonplace that the risk is quite significant now. I've played this game for quite a while and prior to the past two seasons, I can't remember things like this ever happening.

I know you guys are moving to a new server soon, which should improve the stability issues, but in the meantime maybe introduce some contingency measures that delay transfers in case of the site crashing.

The transfers are always pushed back whenever possible, but things happen - the whole point is that it's unpredictable, hence not preventable. Yes, we have plans to increase site speed and stability next season, we'll see how that goes.

As for the comments made about the transfers giving some teams unacceptable advantage - all I can say is that this is pure luck. The guys that benefited couldn't have known that this would happen, so it's not like they did it on purpose.

Is the problem really not preventable though? If the site goes down, couldn't you relist all the players who's auctions ended during the downtime, with the original bids still in place, as soon as the site comes back up.

Have the auctions for these players delayed based on how much time was lost due to downtime (ie if the site crashed 1 hour before a player's auction was supposed to end, then the player would get relisted for 1 hour when the site comes back up, maybe even a little longer, so managers have a chance to check).

Exactly. You want a player? Bid on him. Dont wait until 3 min before the end for your 1st bid. :)
