Wow, that's a bad start on a fresh subscription. For all our whining, you have a better reason to than us. Sorry. Hope you get to enjoy the game soon enough, rather than go all crazy.

Is this just a random error or did the change the days?
Yep. I'm back in. Just in time to have to log out to do some RL crap. Ah screw it. I'm on vacation...

<sigh> Well, I guess I'll have to try riding the hairy edge of copyright infringement another time...
What really irks me about these sorts of issues is the total lack of communication about the game status. I understand that there are always unforseen problems when changes are made to a system, and it can easily take longer than expected, but that is no reason for someone not to take a few moments to tell the customers what the heck is going on!!!
I'm just mostly confused because I thought the maintenace day was Tuesday. I purposefully waited until my day off today so I could subscribe and play this morning instead of Tuesday, haha.

Since it's during work hours, I don't pay attention to the regular maintenance window.
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

I am sure running a MMO is complicated, but it just seems they get stuck with lots of unexpected issues. Couldn't they hire more talented folks who might be able to get ahead of problems and expect stuff?

I get rid of people who continually get surprised doing their jobs.

Even the servers are all different from each other - they try to make them has identical as possible, but each (beta, Test, and each of the live servers) have been customized to their individual loads. Combined with the fact that parts can fail with no warning (and then must be tested before allowing them to go back online to make sure the replacements work properly) happens. And you cannot always (rarely, in fact) foresee a part failing.

From a tech support perspective, I can completely understand how things just happen.
