Why is this a thing? Why are servers down?

Medieval magic said:Again happened tonight; everything worked as usual till about 01:00 this server's time. I happen to be from NA and admin for a EU server. Many players from EU play at the time when us in NA play also even at these odd times. Players have also reported that server list was not loading. It took me about 6 attempts to connect to our Siege server. We play on the PC as this was asked here and also on some attempts to connect, the Serial Number entry box pops up and entering that serial number still doesn't guarantee when you hit the connect button you will connect.Callum_TaleWorlds said:I'm checking now and the server list appears to be working. Is this on PC or console that you are having issues?
Thanks, very much hope you find the problem and keep us up to date about it, please. Thanks again, salute.
I give game devs the benefit of the doubt like 99% of the time... But yeah the fact that this issue is still happening with no explanation at all is extremely alarming. This is only possible if Warband has been literally unsupported by Taleworlds - otherwise the Community Manager wouldn't be the one personally troubleshooting issues, this problem would go through actual QA and then get passed on to server managers who should absolutely be tracking whether or not there are mass server outages! I know Warband is an old title now... But the fact that the CM is in here asking questions and not providing answers is pretty disappointing - in light of the fact that this issue is constantly reoccurring with no further explanation. I have done exactly this kind of troubleshooting on multiplayer games, and literally any even mediocre company would have a system in place to alert the devs the moment these kinds of issues occur. It shouldn't be up to the CM to do anything but state either:sigi1 said:taleworlds actually sucks finding servers dont even work anymore

We are extremely sorry for the unplanned downtime, it seems the server had a couple of small issues that needed fixing.
