yes!

but I guess you understood what I ment

It is because they use GLUE to "cluster" servers. Irreversible 4evah m8s

like de film Heartbreak Ridge... General says to Clint Eastwood "U met any clusterfucks latley?".... Eastwood replies "Hell yeah, but the aint reversible.....

Not quite what I meant though that's an impressive leap of faith in Mythics direction.

I've seen much code slung together on the basis that this 'will' be the new direction we are taking & as such there will be no U-turns. Only for everything on the other side of the fence not to be so rosy & some other poor muppet has to pick it all apart again. Through out it all the original code monkeys are proclaiming that it's impossible to do & even if it were managed it'd be a mess beyond all comprehension & that the day after it was finished the world would spontaneously combust. If this is what was said at the outset then it's entirely possible that GOA were told the information that it was irreversible & at that state of play Mythic thought it was.

Though again I'll stress that as none of us work for either of them who are we to know - & even whether the non-US version is unclusterable.

Btw, I am just saying that it is possible ... not that that is the actual reason

.

There has been comments that in game CSRs was one of the options that GOA decided not to take for example

Yes but there's a slight difference between an app that has to be written in a few days to please some cheif exec and a game that could risk losing thousands of customers if something doesn't work properly and isn't reversible.
