They lost a month but got 5 free months and access to the American servers back for it.
Good deal if you ask me.
I know I hardly ever post, and I'm usually no good at saying things the right way, but instead of moaning about the rough deal we're getting why can't we, the EU, actually DO something ourselves to get more players? I know in the 3 years I've been playing that at least 3 of my friends took up subscriptions to the game, even if only briefly, but that was 3 more than it would have been as they'd never heard of the game before!
If everyone decided to stop playing in protest then of course they'd shut down the servers. There'd be no reason to keep them running.
The more people we can get to play the game, the more it proves to them how passionate we are about this game. Okay, so there's no advertising... we, the players talk about the game to our friends, get them to tell their friends and so on..
Just an idea as I'm depressed right now with all the doom and gloom

At the current rate, going rogue will be the final straw for a lot of people, because the servers will die down again after the going rogue newness wears off.
Also, wouldnt be providing even more money to a company that doesnt care about us?
If they aren't closing the servers now, then they won't close them sure as hell when we get more people.
Besides, we would be doing their work for them.
So less people would actually be a good thing!

I have myself encouraged friends to play and successfully in the past. However without a boxed edition it's tricky, in this "I want everything now" culture, people don't want to wait for a 4gb download. Also what can I show them - a game with a dwindling population
I still maintain that as there will be no boxed GR here, they should produce some trial discs (with an up to date client) to go into game stores, that at least could have some effect, hell I'll arrange the distribution

I know it's been suggested elsewhere in other threads, but if Paragon are not going to have a boxed version outside of North America, could we at least have a downloadable ISO image so we're not waiting 3 days to download a fresh update? Most people have the capability to burn images these days, or at least know someone with the knowledge to do so.

Wait, let me get this straight.
Instead of replying in one of the many threads about this issue, a developer randomly pms an user?
What kind of a retarded way of communicating is that?
Why talk to one person alone when there is a mass amount of people waiting for an answer.
Not that the pm, even if it turns out to be legit, does a whole lot good.
I mean, its the same soon(tm) answer we've been getting since the Brighton Offices Implosion.

I thought that was the obvious, no-need-to-state reason that fatal got the PM.
It's:
1 - disappointing that some might have thought that the devs are now communicating by unsolicited PM-lottery (though that may work better than using twitter all the darn time IMHO).
2 - a reminder that, for all PS/NC's faults, we do get better access to the devs now that we're a single forum.

It may be CRYPTIC (got that one.. I think) but would a Pgaroan play such mischievous games with us?

While i was visiting my mother on the weekend, asked my brother to reinstall the game on his pc. Up where they live they have very limited internet connection and according the updater, was going to take roughly 70 hours to download . . . . .
He soon cancelled it
