maintenance, why so much

Huh? My account name is Sparxysparx, and will probably stay that way.

So you honestly have no characters on any server? Find it hard to believe. The product has been playable to you since day one. Just cause they have to bring servers down here and there, doesn't mean you aren't getting your moneys worth. Cause when they bring em back up, you have more to play than you did when you bought it. And thats true for any content added, bug fixes, items added, options added. Eitherway, you are getting what your $15 a month pays for. Believe it or not, this thread was started because someones being a baby bout not being able to play for 4 hours. Theres 24 of those in a day, theres 7 of those 24's in a week, and 365 of those 24's in a year. I'm sure you'll get to play the game 90% of that time.

The guy with plum colored forum post? He always appears as "Sparxysparx" for me.

What kind of fool spends his money and argues for the right of people he pays to not provide him service? I'm seriously baffled by the people who defend this issue. Did we click agree? Yes. Does that mean they should abuse the hell out of 1 clause in the agreement? Maybe I'm old, but I remember the days of the customer always being right when businesses were actually expected provide you with the service you payed them for.

Down time is bad no matter how you slice it. The developers should have had some foresight, especially considering the budget, and came up w/ a model that has no or at least minimal downtime. At the VERY LEAST, all down time should be compensated.

Anyway, keep telling them it's OK to rip us off and see how many stick around. Won't take long for something else to catch our interest and money at this rate.

It's fine to be a fanboy. I enjoy the game too, but cmon... bad design is bad. Better to shoot straight in hopes they'll actually strive to set things right and make it more fun and appealing to keep a strong player base.

If theye just do maintance for US ,Eupope , Asia ,... on there sleeptime houres there wouldnt be any problem at all

Twice in one week bioware. Seriously...

We pay for a month of game time. If the game is unavailable for ANY unscheduled maintenance, that cuts into the time we are paying for. So, no, we're not getting the $15/month we pay for this game.

Better luck clicking the post colour button and choosing a colour.

Shall I grab my silver spoon as well. Like I said, do YOUR homeworks... I did mine already.
