North America - Balmung Server Down - THIS IS WHAT WE PAY FOR ?

[Design]

L O FUCKING L You know how many people they let off once the game actually launched because their jobs were done at that point? SE has a shit ton of money. The bullshit that "OHHHH SE IS ALMOST BANKRUPT" is such horseshit. How many people are still buying 13-13/2 and what not. Don't give me that shit. They are plainly slacking and all your complacency is doing is allowing them to keep getting away with this dumb bullshit they keep pulling with errors and constant downtime. AND what's the funniest fucking thing of this all? You're trying to white knight SE and your forum tag is the 1017 error. LOL

Then quit the game if you are that angry. Why pay for something you clearly don't enjoy?

And my signature is made because at the time, it was hilarious. Was I mad? Sure. Was I so mad I had to result in degrading people on the internet? No. Why? Because I'm an adult and I've accepted in life, sh*t happens.

Uh...guys?

The server's back up now.

Y'all can stop yelling at each other for a bit and come farm or diremites or somethin'.

So grown up, yet you're on here arguing about something you know is bullshit. Good one.

You guys also forget:

This company went almost bankrupt trying to make this game. Their employees are probably working on low income trying to get this game to be successful, because remember in Japan, they dishonored their fans and SquareEnix and that is way more important then feeding their family. And if you think "omg well so many ppl bought the game teehee" you forget to factor in: Cost of money to RUN the business (all expenses like electricity and everything else including paying their employees), server fees (this is really pricey if you think about it), their entire staff, etc.

So cool your freakin jets. Hopefully after people start paying their subscription fees, this will slowly dwindle down to being more organized. I think for working with not much to make something that's less buggy then 99% of the games on the market on first release, they are doing pretty well.

If they're hurting for money, then they should probably work a little harder, and do research on how to fix this. or fire their crappy programmers/network techs/whoever isn't fixing their shit (they never really tell us if its a coding problem or networking issue, they blame it on server stress, but I'm not buying it) and hire on some better people.

I have never seen a launch of an MMO (free, P2P, or buy to play) go this horribly on launch. Why? because most developers launch a game that is beta tested extensively, patched, and polished. This was not done. We are essentially beta testing this game right now. This maintenance scheduling and emergency maintenance, is beta quality... maybe even Alpha quality, in my opinion.

Aion was fine at release, I played at beta and up to 2 years past release. Nice try. And, Vanilla wow was HOW long ago? Also, who gave a fuck about SWTOR. Cause that was horrible.
