Man, its still not up? Alright, if by chance the servers are wiped, I definitely am quiting and going to WoW for good, hell Ill go back to Realm for godsakes. There is no reason for a whole server wipe, but due to the extent of the downtime it does look more and more likily albeit fractional still.


Once again everyone, you have my fullest sympathies.

Im goin' to bed. g'night! 8)

when the servers go down they take a big backup of ALL info (yes even the log files of your cyb0rz), no one is gonna lose toons thats why when serves go down they have all your settings saved. when the server crashes they will either do a roll back or take it from everyones last character save (it auto saves when you loot zone camp and stuff like that) the chances of someone losing a toon is very slim unless some fat noob technician pours an un named cola brand on the server and comletely borks it :)

Yer completely right, Whisky.

But Fony has alwasy been a buncha arrogant poofs who see us as their serfs. See, that's why their "customer service" is so poor - in their minds they have no "customers" - only slaves addicted to their crack.

No longer. I'm over on the Alla WoW site reading up on it. I'm sure WoW isn't perfect, eihter, but Fony's really getting on my nerves. Such great improvements mixed with such utter failures ... sigh.

You know i can't believe people attitude, i really can't, they have provided as much information as would be reasonable and i do not blame them for not opening the chat rooms if the responce here and more importantly on the SoE site are anything to go by.

If SoE had a major system failure or virus they would have to recover and roll back the files <and find the source of the problem ON A FRIDAY NIGHT THE WEEKEND BEFORE XMAS!

Come on people have you ever tried to get a plumber on a friday night? I tried to order some wall tiles for my bathroom today and got told "Not a chance they will be in before the new year".

At the end of the day it's the first time since launch they have been down for an extended period.

Well I haven't gotten far so personally if I lost my characters I wouldn't be all that mad. Just a little annoyed cus I had to suffer through Freeport with my ogre doing worthless quests and now I'm betraying to Qeynos. I've heard people are actually level 50 now so I bet that would hurt lol

Hey, I can't believe your attitue either - but I like your avatar! :o)

Folks, Sony does need to talk to us. Sixteen hours and a promise of "hourly updates" - but there are almost none - bad. I don't need my wittle hand held here, I just need a little info. A little honesty. They're not *all* workin like beavers fixin this - there is someone with at least a spare minute to at least say something honest and meaningful rather than something patronizing and slim and probably dishonest.

We pay them. We are their *clients*. If I treated my *clients* like this at my work I think they'd freakin' shoot me. I certainly wouldn't have any more work.

This is a pattern that goes way back, so forgive me if I'm bein' cranky - it's an old, badly festered wound. Fony = bad customer service and bad attitude towards us. Period. "I wanna bite the hand that feeds me - I wanna bite that hand so badly - I wanna make them wish they'd NEVER SEEN ME!!!!" Elvis Costello, from back when he had attitude.

Experience debt is repaid at 1/2 percent an hour while you are logged out. It looks like they will not have to do any thing extraordinary to wipe out most players debt.

Well I for one am not all that upset [as of yet] since I've been suffering from a cold/fever and was unable to play at all of Friday. Here I was was thinking that I would be behind the curve in AQ and heritage quests when lo and behold the gods of Norrath avenge their absence from the new world be wreaking havoc on the servers.
Time for something hot to drink and watching a few dvds while we wait,

"They are so busy fixing EQ2 that we can't expect them to take off that valuable time to tell us anything meaningful" - yet - they do take the valuable time to shut down their forums for a while ... their official forums ...

...and...

...ERASE a thread that was full of gamer discontent (and I only noticed the one - there could be others erased).

Any of you Fony defenders have any comments?

After that, if you do, I'll no longer feel like a jerk when I suspect you of being a "shill" (a Fony employee sneaking in here and trying to bully us). This is just getting worse and worse on so many different levels it's actually entertaining in a sick way.

Also, please don't forget to mention that the EQ2 chat rooms are now moderated and no one can speak on them...IE they don't exist. Another way Sony is saying 'Thanks for shelling your cash out to us, suckers!'

Well its past 8 am where I am . Guess I will go to the store and buy WOW. Not saying I am giving up on EQ2, but this seems to be a perfect time to try out the competition.

Another

U KNOW U PLAYED TOO MUCH EQ2 WHEN.........

When you're driving along the turnpike with your fiance on your way to a weekend vacation with his family, see a pile of wood along the side of the turnpike, and both yell "HARVEST!!!!" at the same time.

I am bored. Have not whomped anything in 22 hours. Yes, I realize some of those 22 hours have been taken up by things like work, and dinner, and sleeping, but still. I guess xmas shiopping can be sort of like a quest. Or something. Not fair, whine. Or maybe wine! That'll fix it...umm, yeah, this is what happens when I'm deprived.

Servers are up but being tested as we speak, a good sign I guess. Still no ETA and that is a bit less of a good sign, lol.

One more: U KNOW U PLAYED TOO MUCH EQ2 WHEN...

You're watching LotR trilogy in a row, and every time some orc gets an axe on his head, you're thinking: 'that should have been my kill, you d***y kser!'. And the next thing you think of: 'hmm, I wonder what the stats are on Gimli's axe?'.

I wonder if we'll hit the 24 hour mark. That would be a first.. as far as I know.

Well, I just got up and still no EQ2:(. At least the update page says something besides "we don't know." They've said they are bringing them up internally and testing them, will be several hours. FINALLY, something approaching a real answer. That's the kind of update I wanted last night....so, no idea to several hours....think maybe by Christmas? LOL
#250 Dec 18 2004 at 8:04 AM Rating: Decent
Just tried again, still down.
And I have another

U KNOW U PLAYED TOO MUCH EQ2 WHEN.........

When you're at Disney World, and your discussions turn to how the people on the segways got their horses, and whether or not to go to a different zone because all the people in the Epcot zone waiting for the fireworks are creating a lot of lag.

Just kinda funny that way.
