Any plans for compensaion due to a full 24 hours with inability to play?

This thread is only 16+ pages because of all the trolling that followed an otherwise reasonable opening post. Apparently giving non-sarcastic answers is really, really hard for some of you.

Most of the responses that followed the original post are utter nonsense.

"Downtime is covered in the EULA/TOS." = a silly response. The question was not "should SE compensate us?", but whether or not there were plans announced to do so. Other developers issue credit for downtime despite having similar EULA/TOS. Not because they had to, but because they chose to. It's not odd to ask if this developer is planning to also choose to.

"It's scheduled downtime." = a silly response. How much scheduled downtime is too much? If they schedule 24 days of downtime instead of 24 hours, should we not ask about being compensated for that month simply because the downtime was scheduled? Half of you would be cancelling your sub for that month to avoid being billed, and the other half would be throwing a fit because you're stuck hip-deep in consumed time cards for the 720 day Cloud costume reward.

"It's $.40 trololol" = a silly response. What's the dollar figure where we're allowed to start asking questions? Is it written somewhere? Otherwise, get used to the fact that for each person it's going to be different. Some people obviously value their money more than others and/or are less willing to cut companies slack.

"Your compensation is the expansion." = a silly response. Did you get the expansion for free? I didn't. I think most of us paid for it. We didn't get it simply by agreeing to stay offline for 24 hours. The only thing access to the expansion is compensation for is your additional $40-$130 of payment plus your monthly subscription payments going forward.

Many of the people trolling in this thread will be amongst the loudest complaining should problems arise that cut into our Early Access period. And in the end I'm not sure what's more surprising.. the 16+ pages of nonsense that followed the original post, or how obvious it is that so many people can't think things through before submitting a response.

I wouldn't say no to free chicken sandwiches though xD

....me either ;_;

They are giving you time to do some chores/homework and talk to loved ones before you vanish into Ishgard.

I think its really considerate of them.

I agree, why compensate for it? Calculated it is very few you lose and you get something HUGE in return, unless course...you don't buy the expansion. Either way I'd say SE keep up the good work and I look forward to the new shinies you are offering us in just a day time!

They won't compensate it but you will have loads of fun

WHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA QQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQ >;O

Oh my god, they're actually serious. They actually think they deserve compensation for a server maintenance that makes the game better.


It's this kind of mindless QQ that makes it hard for MMO developers to discern important complaints from the useless ones lol


Things are changing whether or not you buy the expansion. You're part of it whether you go to Ishgard or not.

You're silly.
Even the people who didn't yet buy the expansion are getting content updates. The biggest of which will reduce the grind required for endgame 2.0 gear.
i.e. Make up for lost time.

You guys must be really bored. I know waiting is hard but there are way more productive ways to use your time.

But hey, I am posting here as well, so whatever.

You AND the OP are ridiculous. LOLOL That's like asking about getting compensation the entire time we transitioned between 1.0 and 2.0!!!!! It's not trolling, it's flaming for being a complete and total child about getting an expansion and having to have a LIFE outside the game. Get real.

You don't seem to understand how expansions work and the downtime associated with them. Thereby making you just as bad as the OP asking for compensation for something that was POSTED that was going to happen.

Please just let this thread die. Responding to the delusional entitled babies won't accomplish anything. They can't be reasoned with so don't waste your time.
