Give SOE a breakFollow

I 24 downtime in 5 1/2 years oh my god!!!111ONEONE!11!!!one!!!56!!!?~~'#.

how the **** do you generate enough IQ to manage to get out of the F*cking bed in a morning you MORON!How do you know 8 servers when down? i know how YOU DON'T, it is just as likly the link server went down and that would ***** the entire game up, or maybe just maybe they had a virus infection and they do not want to bring servers up untill it is quarrentined.

Would you publise that? Well you might since your IQ is below that of the average Marcupial but those of us who have passed out of school wouldn't untill they had isolated the source and arrested the motherf*cker who did it. ,Yes Sh*t happens, once you are mature enough you will realise that and stop acting like a F*cking *****.

Do the EQ2 world a favour, cancel your account both with SoE and Here and never post bullsh*t like that again.

K Tnks.

One day downtime? Going on 3 days for me now.

From the log in, 3 free days and acc exp sounds good to me.Thanks SOE!

Hello Everyone,

We sincerely apologize for the downtime this weekend. We had some hardware issues that caused us to have to tread very carefully in bringing the game back up. We wanted to triple check everything to make sure there wouldn’t be any major problems, and it’s taken a while to both fix the problem (we had to fly out engineers from one of our hardware vendors) and to bring each of the servers back online because of the careful validation process we need to go through. We have to do this very carefully and we hope you can understand our desire to do this right. We're trying to balance that with getting the game back up as quickly as possible. So far most servers are back up and the rest should be up in the next 4-6 hours, hopefully less. I realize that ETA's that come and go can frustrate people, so we do our best to give you the most realistic estimates possible.

Out of respect for our players, we’re doing the following:

1) Every player will receive 3 free days.

2) Early this week (Monday or Tuesday) we will have a 24 hour period where we will have accelerated XP gain. Details are still being worked out and we’ll communicate this to you as we firm up the plans.

We are committed to providing you with excellent service. Our team has been here for over 40 hours straight, and I can tell you our dedication to doing right by our players is the thing that’s foremost on everyone’s mind here at SOE.

Thank You,

John Smedley

Heh, Tarv kills me sometimes.

If everyone is so upset about the downtime, which seems like most of you are...just quit playing SOE games. Simple fix.

I hope the next time you buy something and it's broke that you go back to the store and complain only to be told "Don't like it? Just stop shopping here" and show you the door.

I to play on FFXI and I dont know where you get the no unexpected down times but i have attempted to play several times and it has been down maybe you have just been lucky but I have spent whole nights trying to login to play. and if I am not to completely crazy I do believe Sony has a hand in FFXI's server maintance I am researching it now to be sure.

Subvert do the world a favour and grow up, do you think any of the people working on the servers wanted to be in work on the last weekend befpre xmas?

Do you not think they have families that are far more important than you. How many people use the last weekend before xmas to do thier xmas shopping? A good % i would say, the Board of trade and Industry say it is the busiest weekend of the year.

But no even though they have put thier families to one side to fix a poxy computer game for a bunch of Geeks <Face it regardless of how cool you think you are, we are all geeks>

Have some F*cking compassion you piece of sh*t, you disgust me.

36 hours in a game that has been running for less than 2 months is not the end of the bloody world, like you seem to think it is, people are homeless, people are starving and yet your sole consern seem to be something as material as a computer game not working for a few days, Your mother must be really proud of you.

Read, inwardly digest and get some perspective.

To all you whiners that can't stop complaining about minor problems that SOE is working to fix daily, and to everyone moaning about the servers coming down for a few days as if it was the death of their child or something, I say "stop playing SOE games and go play sissy WOW, or a lame first person shooter or something, I could use the decrease in lag"
