Hm. You have a point there. If this was "The Secret World" I might rather suspect the bees, though.

This is getting ridiculous.
I just bought the game like three days ago and I have already gone through hell. I gave my old subscription to a friend in January because I was leaving for Basic Training and had no intent on playing the game again. Then I recently decided I would give it another go and so far I have had nothing but problems.

1st Day: Game played perfectly fine.
2nd Day: I started getting some black screen glitch after hitting play. So I decided first things first I would try to re-install the game. I do that and then I start getting an error where assets 85 installing is frozen at 0 percent. After following some helpful tips from fellow players I finally got both errors fixed (No thanks to the technical team everything they told me was a complete waste of time). I hit play the game comes up and then BAM no servers are working.

This is just a load of crap. I don't wanna blame BW because I believe they are a good company. But I will waste no time pointing a finger at EA. Just another example of how they half *** there product and screw over the consumer *Cough cough* Madden *Cough cough*

Since I'm the guy that recommended the walk or a read, I guess I should chime in. I'm also dyslexic, lysdexic... whatever, its a pain in the *** when I comes to reading words and numbers. I was also disabled for the better part of 2011. I couldn't walk or breathe and had gained 100lbs in about 6 weeks, believe it or not. I wasn't trying to kick you while you're down.

Most folks are more upset that it disrupted their weekend, and other first world type problems. I wasn't referring to you in particular, but it seems most folks that are up in arms are those that are more than able bodied. FWITW - when it comes to dealing with quest text, SWtOR is the best IMHO for helping out along the reading lines. Also - bonus points for subtitles.)

For everyone else, I am a huge fan of distractions, just don't let gaming become your reality.

What's your guess?
I know you are trying to have fun, but the fact that the website works indicates to me that they just launched a poorly coded patch (GASP, wait they always do that) and now they have to sramble to get a new patch in to fix the problem of the old patch that was to fix a problem with the patch before that, that was to fix a problem with the patch before that .... well you get the idea.
Generally people aren't half as good at PVP as they think they are. Except me. I'm Better.

Riiight. Because suggesting that people take a walk or read a book is akin to treating everyone the same as oneself.

Dude, what?
If it bleeds it's probably pissed that you shot it.
