Server Redundancy & Anti-piracy. | Forums

Has UBI heard about redundant servers? As of now 6 PM EST entire gaming community has been brought down, only because UBI hasn't bothered to load up on the extra CD key server. Servers are operational but players can't join them due to the fact that CD key check fails since CD key checker server is down. Good planning there, my kudos to genius network administrators who devised such infrastructure. And to the moronic marketing department who sought to protect the game against pirates at all costs. As with every anti-piracy effort its always the honest end-consumer who laid down cash to buy the game actually suffers, and not the pirate.
