clients decide to sit in the problem and point fingers at one another rather than rally behind a plausible solution ~ poor problem solving, poor risk management

the solution is relatively obvious, the complaining apparently inevitable. it is a shame that CoH decision makers opted for server upgrades as opposed to scalable but that is a "follow the money trail" choice likely.

be constructive please ~ we can all act like 12 year olds. we cant all bring solutions. try harder please.

thanks!

No it really doesn't. There's no sympathy for most of of you folks because you simply don't deserve any. All of the big complainers I've seen have forum reg dates no later than 2005. That means most of you have played through every other 2x weekend and most of the big events that's happened since release. If you couldn't see the writing on the wall it's because you shut your eyes to it.

I saw the writing on the wall after the last 2x weekend. Freedom's been my home since before I1, but I wasn't going to play through that mess again. It just wasn't fun. So I decided to make all of my new toons on Justice. Most of my coalition has toons there as well now, and we're having a grand old time this weekend. All of you -- or near enough all to make no difference -- had this same opportunity. You could have paid to have your characters transferred to another server, or you could have done what I did and just started rolling new toons on a different one.

All of my high-level heroes are still on Freedom, and they'll probably stay there. I'm not spending money to move them -- but I don't feel the dev's owe me free transfers either. I rolled most of those toons before I1, but even then I knew what I was getting into. I've played other MMOs, I know what high-pop servers are like. If you're being honest with yourselves, I'd bet most of you did too.

And for the PvPers -- you were forewarned just like the rest of us. Not too long ago there was a discussion to choose an official unofficial live PvP server. It was pointed out several times that allowing Freedom to be the de facto PvP server would mean exactly what it has this weekend. I remember at least one of you participating in that discussion. How some of you can expect sympathy now just boggles my mind.

The only bone I'm willing to throw any of you is that they should have had a queue mechanism up for this event so that folks who want to stand in line to play on Freedom can. That's the only complaint I've seen that comes close to being legitimate in this entire thread or deserving of sympathy.

ummmm what can i say but ROFLMAO@U

Tink

the notion that the client base should change to support a non-scalable server is just goofy.

to stagger the load you have to change the parameters of double xp weekend ~

the easy solution is an in game timer on each account. everyone gets X amount of predetermined double xp hours; same as a the concept of a nemi staff ~

this ALSO allows for those that work weekends to participate.

to get to the truth, always follow the money trail
