Having been a military Infantry officer that above statement applies there as well

I have very little sympathy for failure when its it your JOB.

A wise person used to tell me, dont talk about it....be about it.
Not trolling, just checking: Are you seriously comparing a paramedic fireman's job or a military infantry officer's job to a game developer's job?

Just looking for a simple yes or no.

No. Any company that knows what it's doing has back-ups that they can reset. The worse, worse, worse case scenario is that they have to reset everyone to what they were a day or a week ago.

Once f2p hits, this will be harder, because people will have bought items with real $$$. So they got to reimburse the items that people bought in that period. It will be harder, but not impossible: a compnay like EA will do that correctly in f2p too.

This is true--a lot of unoccupied real estate. I found the hospital to be a bit lacking, though.

And dang it...all of you are going back to the game and leaving me here stuck at work without this diversion??? HAMSTERS!!

Holy ****balls!!! After calling us oceanics all sorts of names and suggestions such as 'read a book', 'get a life', 'take a walk', 'have a shower', 'exercise', etc., when we complained about server downtimes during peak hours, look at this!!! Oh my, 600+ posts within the six hours I was in bed.

Sadly, I am required to be a responsible parent and pick up my child, tend to her needs, and stave off playing until bedtime. Parent of the Year! And I'm on The Shadowlands.
