You guys have done SUCH a great job over the last 7 years guiding this game to it's resounding success.

Always someone trying to iceskate uphill.

I honestly have no idea what you are saying.

We all know it is down but the blind defenders are responding to the self entitled blind whiners.

The game is a success so that is puzzling comment.

So who do you have doing this uphill iceskating? The successful game defenders or the complainers?


total kick to the gut

This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.

The irony was it was about what, 7 CDT they said they were going down, the announcement says 6AM PDT, that is 8AM my time, so hmm, someone got their information incorrect..

Heh I vividly remember someone I was in the "From Below" trial with saying "oh daily maint is a normal thing and rarely takes more than 30 minutes", and me, being gone for a year, clearly said "You're kidding right, no really, WHEN have they EVER had a 30 minute maint, at the very least it's going to be two hours".

I win by default really, though for me it's been over two hours since then, I've watched four tv episodes, should have bet her something...

So enlighten me oh warriors of the keyboard - how are we supposed to make known to the creators and developers of this game that we are unhappy with too much downtime other than posting in the Forums they provide?

Game cancellation surveys?

Or is it better to vent and seek commiseration with your fellows?

I was on at 7:30 CDT and the announcement came that the server was going down in 30 minutes which would be 8am CDT.

You wuss! *plugs in night light and turns it on* there, better?

Ah well I accomplished a bit in the downtime, roused the twins, bathed, clothed, fed them then off to Kindergarten with them!

Now it's just me and the lil man, bathed, fed, sleeping in crib near me, daddy's at work and I'm horribly bored.


Geeze if mom had told me being a housewife would drive me crazy I'd have deactivated my womb :/

There actually has been plenty of 30-45 minutes weekly maintenances. One was like 15 minutes once.I remember because I was shocked as all get out.

I call them more meaningful than the complaints being posted.

Maybe then folks would be more understanding. If there is something seriously wrong with the servers which required near daily maint they need to say so.

On Tuesdays them being down is understood to be for a patch.

I think they need to state why they need more than Thursday to do maint so folks can get why the servers need to come down as often as they have been.

Not going to happen, this game is absolutely horrible for letting players know what is happening when it comes to maintenance.

What can I say. I'm bored. And I don't think Dechs or Clouded are going to take my screwing around as anything other than... well, screwing around.

What's that? I can't understand you over the terrible that is your fiction writing.

And we are now into maintenance overtime. So, in the interest of finding things to do with our time, I give you a great song for the greatest show ever filmed about the greatest ship that ever flew.
