Damn! Crashed again! Now my server wasn't even up for 12 hours. It just crashed, and was an actual server crash (not disconnection) cause the server was put to the first map in the rotation.
NICE! I've got a good amount of dedicated players and regulars and we are already full again!
The thing that really kills me is that there is even a thread with this title.
I work for a business software company. If we dared release something that crashed every few hours, causing people to lose data, we would be out of business within a month, or slapped with a class-action lawsuit so fast your head would spin.
Only in PC gaming do customers put up with this kind of nonsense, and do companies like EA/Dice put out product that performs thus while keeping a straight face. They keep a straight face because we will keep forking over our cash like idiots. This is not a gripe against NFO because I know their hands are tied in many ways and are a reseller, but we will also apparently continue to fork over $100+/mo for something that is essentially half-working.

Well well well, mine's crashed about a half dozen times in the last 24 hrs, twice in the last few hours, come on EA damn you to hell, I'm sick of this stuff!
ATTENTION! - Our server has finally crashed! Haha! It went sooo long without a crash! It was up and full for about 60 hours! Anyone find it strange that for a couple days it couldn't stay up for even 12 hours but now it was up for 60 hours straight at max capacity?
As a whole, that is how BF3 servers have been. Some have the problem, some don't, and others are touch and go from day to day. Not sure if it is due to EA, the game itself, or changes they are making on the fly, but hopefully it will all pass soon.
It's mostly the nature of randomness, I'd say. If you roll a die every hour that causes a crash when you get a "1", there will be times when you get several ones, and crashes, in a row, and other times when you go a long time without seeing one.
