Doghealer Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 (edited) Evidently, I was mistaken in the applied change, and my argument below has been rendered moot. I withdraw it, though keep it documented below for reference. Wait. Wait. Wait. So you're telling me... That we had a two-hour maintenance in the middle of the day... During Spring Break... To apply a patch... That concerned people... That haven't even bought the damn game yet? Bioware, I am disappoint. -5 awesome points. Granted, you still have a few thousand in your favor, but every one counts... Edited March 15, 2012 by Doghealer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dev Post AllisonBerryman Posted March 15, 2012 Dev Post Share Posted March 15, 2012 Please do note that in our messages on the forums, we indicated that this downtime was necessary to ensure a good experience for all players on the game servers during this weekend. We do not bring the servers down unless it is necessary, and but we did need to in this instance. We're sorry for any inconvenience, and did bring the servers back up as quickly as possible.

JustTed Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Wait. Wait. Wait. So you're telling me... That we had a two-hour maintenance in the middle of the day... During Spring Break... I stopped reading here. When you get some real problems this won't seem so important to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, because if you did go through any of those stages then you wouldn't have made this dumb thread. In the end IF this Weekend Pass thing works than hopefully, we'll have more population in our servers. Whats a couple cents out of your $15 a month matter, as long as it goes to improving the game right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreatEski Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 (edited) @OP It was a poor choice of time but it's hardly the end of the world. Of course, you're not really freaking out about it, so you don't really deserve to be bashed on by irritated fans who are tired of dealing with overreacting idiots. @Irritated fans Lets try to focus our anger on the fools who deserve it eh?

You can talk about business practices when you've worked at a major corporation for a few years, but you'll have to get out of college first. As usual, an entitlement-addled forum poster has no idea what he's talking about. At all. Go get a second hobby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babyduck Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Their efforts are directed at bringing in new players. This is an effort to help fill up the existing servers so that players will stop complaining so much about dead servers! Stop and think about what they are doing because it will benefit us all in the end with a larger player base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like going to watch a movie, seeing its sold out and having to settle for some crap Sandra Bullock movie. I'd be pissed too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Freaking out" isn't the issue. The complaint itself is stupid and childish. Stuff happens that requires emergency maintenance. Suck it up.

If it was to change what I think, giving free to make accounts the ability to initiate whispers would be open field day for gold sellers and spammers. Which they initially could do apparently.

About. You. Never said it was all about me. I fully support things intended to make the community grow. I just don't think it should be at the expense of the people already here. Also, at the haters: I'm not crying as much as you think I was. If I had caps lock on, then maybe your complaints would be a little more justified.

Hey I'm a paying customer too, but at least I'm smart enough to know that maintenance is required. I can afford 2 hours gone for a better gaming experience. Apparently, you can't.

I don't remember any patch since I started playing having any significant effect on me, yet I accepted them as necessary and important changes. Lemme make this totally clear: I. AM. NOT. THE. CENTER.
