maintenance, why so much

Do you think they are reading this post? Some of you have really well crafted arguments. Could they learn from you?
I think they could. Even the best was about customer demographics. Yes we are getting screwed out of game time. Back to pay and play. Refund every hour of down time for the time we lose and watch the down time diminish.

I know why not just go to a Pay as you play eg i play for 10 hours today so i lose 10hours of my monthly play time .... oh wait the would prolly still take it away during maintaince.

While yes there has been alot of downtime and yes the management of the times with regard to the local server times is unproffessional I find my self sitting back and being thankful that it is not being handled in the manner EA used to back in the hayday of Ultima Online. I recall sometime in 1998 i believe there was not only an unshedualed downtime but after being down for almost a day the server returned to life reset a full 7 days.

At least they have improved to some degree from the days of regular resets and the loss of any gains you had made.

Oh yes please! Yes Pleaaaaaassse! Woot, I'm with you on this all the way...payback for the continent that thinks it is the only important place on the planet

Yes it would, because rather than pisisng off hte majority of their subscribers, they shaft the players that get shafted in all MMOs. Oceanic players.

I came over to this game in the hope that it would be a solid alternative to WoW and one that I thought I could make the change permanent. I've played WoW more over the past 2 weeks than this because of the downtime.

Poor form. I want a usuable game that I can play during peak periods. I don't want to have to find alternatives to a product that I'm paying for.

Ok, lets be adults then.

Your point #1. New models and equipment - While it doesn't take forever, it does take time/money/manpower to accomplish. They did it faster than any mmo on the market. You welcome =)

Your point #2. "Better Framerates. OMG, that's content for sure... " - Uh, never said better framerates was content. Honestly have no idea how those two things are of any relevance to each other. But they accomplished both, again, faster than any mmo to date. Your welcome.

Your point #3. "A world event that mirrors #1 in the top ten list of MMO catastrophic failures (no, really. It's #1) Yes, let's rejoice in that wonderful gift." - Ok. So zombies or something of the like (plagues/diseases/evils) has been done before. Well guess what, they didn't copy ANYONE. It falls in line with THEIR story and we asked for world events so they gave one to us. It won't be the last for sure, so again, you are welcome.

Your point #4. "Better graphics! Wow, that's end-game content." Refer to reply on your point#2. Again, neither one of those things are related, but yes, they did make graphics better AND added more endgame content. So in the two things you/we asked for that you so obviously tried to collide and make one thing (don't ask me how). They again accomplished it, and again, faster than any other mmo on the market.

Your point #5. "I mean, the UI editor is nice, but it's not content." Again, two things that are completely different matters. But, just to humor you, the UI editor is nice, in fact, it's great. We asked for it, we got it. Who's to complain? As far as content which you keep bringing up, I'll stoop to your lvl and keep bringing it up too, only you'll have to revert to reply of point #4 to get the same answer you so blatantly don't get.

As for all this...."If you didn't just insult people and actually tried to discuss (like adults do), you'd have to consider that none of this actually addresses a lack of content. The best "content" for a 50 is to go make another 50. They decidedly need to create "end game" content. It's clear there's a gap. And if you think the answer is to yell at everyone who brings up the issue for not being as crazily enthusiastic about the game as you are and insulting them... well... Don't be surprised when we all think you're young. It's how you act.[/QUOTE]

Sorry if your insulted by people coming here on your "bioware/star wars sucks and can't get nothing right posts," As much as you want your opinion to be heard, I'll continue to voice mine as well. Only bringing facts instead of crys and insults. Your insulting the game you play, go play something else, that easy.

Love,

personally I don't blame them for not reading threads in this forum, They created the suggestion box forum for a reason

yes but 1998 is how long ago ?

A year in computer terms is an age.

Game companies should learn with every mistake other people have made ?

If not then they will fail. in 1998 people would put up with anything as there was nothing else to play. That is not the case today. There are lots of competition out there for the unhappy to wander off to ?

ok so as much as you would want your money back do you really want 50 cents cause that is all it would be ....no you want a consistent schedule ....because that is what you paid for ......we were all playing when the severs when down and yet it still got turned off......my opinion.....WAIT TIL MONDAY when you told us it would happen we dont care about the small stuff ....for example all the peeps defending the down time....if they cared about down time they wouldnt defend it .......but i ask all of them? did what they are fixing make the game unplayable? the answer to that my friends is no....it didnt so why not wait til monday to fix it....i do understand if the game was unplayable do it now but it wasnt so wait til the agreed upon time.

But, if you rent a car, do you not want to use it? Would you not be a little annoyed that every time you had planned a trip you get a call from the rental company "you have to bring in the car today for 4 hours, we are going to wash the windshield" then, the next day "you have to bring in the car for 4 hours today, we are going to wash the dashboard" then, the next day "you have to bring in the car for 4 hours today, we are going to change the cd-player".
