Do you really think they have enough ppl working there to replicate all the messed up ways we play this game during downtime?
Sometimes it takes the servers coming back up and being populated by actual players for bugs to show up.....
Welcome to MMOs....
Oh, and I'm not one of the Dev fanbois, I've just been here long enough to know stuff happens, no use in cryin about it.....
Let em fix the game...
Hopefully itll only take ONE hotfix....

Looks like they're starting to come back up.. Freedom & Justice are unknown vice down.
Y'all need to worry when the forums go down, the facebook page disappears and the twitter page explodes!
Just be happy we're not back to Issue 1 and 700 floppy disks to install it back to their servers. :P

I know the height isn't that small, but it looks pretty close with Beast Run at the lowest height setting.
....oh yea fix issues....make them stable...take as long as you need....i cant wait....I am glad they are doing maintenance....yada yada yada yada. Fact is they dont plan well, they dont inform well. Major upgrades can be done efficiently without many issues if things are planned well. Any issues that arise should already have contingencies in place. Very rarely do issues arise if things are planned appropriately. I am sure they have beyond the resources to execute this type of "system maintenance/upgrades"...unfortunately they seem to suffer from unskilled management of such resources. The round peg goes in the round hole.....it really is that easy if it is known.
I hear the flamers now discussing unknown issues and that unplanned things happen, and again I say that is a lack of managed resources and ill plans of attack.

Always easier to talk about how things could be done when you are not having to actually do them.
I know I have never had any unexpected trouble when building/upgrading my computers!
:-(
It's the nature of the beast. I'd hoped that they would be done by now, but I was expecting some possible trouble. Getting bent out of shape about it is a waste of energy, imo.
Rend this space....

(5+4) / (30 * 24) / $15 = $.1875
Granted the servers are only down for 9 hours today... But I wouldn't mind getting my 19 cents back for today :-)
I PL myself! YAY

Oh, and the thought just occurred to me that NCsoft must really be toying with you because the servers have been up far more than they've been down for me. Seriously, it's been far, far less than one hour out of forty-eight that i've seen the servers down. If you've been seeing the servers down more than up the last two weeks i suspect someone's been blocking your access.|

There is also the slight possibility that you're using over the top exaggerated hyperbole to make yourself look like a massive twit with no sense of perspective, but who would deliberately try to make themselves look like that? No one, that's who. (OTOH, that could be why someone would be blocking your access to the servers most of the time if they're players or GMs who don't like you.)
Obviously it's a conspiracy. (No, not a Nemesis plot; it's someone else for a change.)

No. The muscularity and anatomy of the male model would make the end result look really creepy. Quote:

Amerikatt is a female cat, not a catgirl (and certainly *not* a catboy), so she (and other more humaniform female characters) should have access to a chest slider which allows for a "flat" chested customization.
