They had a DDOS attack a few months ago and locked down all servers so needed a static IP address, wouldn't accept a DDNS address, so have been having to remote into a site with static IP address to work on a website.
Not sure who is worse, this lot or the company that used them in the first place.
EA have been doing this with the online content of games on Xbox/PS3 for years, particularly with the sports ones. every couple of years they kill the servers for the older games to encourage people to buy the new version.
They did the same with Mirror's Edge, only thing is that you can still buy it from Microsoft as well as in physical form, but can't get the online content due to the server having been switched off.
"No, GMT remains what it says on the tin, the solar mean time at the Greenwich meridiam. Currently we're on British Summer Time and won't be on GMT until clocks go back on Sunday. This also means that France and Germany *are* currently on GMT, except they know it as Central European Summer Time."
Umm... surely if we are putting the clocks back an hour to GMT and Europe are an hour ahead of us then they are two hours ahead of GMT at the moment.
