the lobby server connection has encountered an error 2002

[Drkdays]

Lotta single digit postcount people coming in to complain... amazing how they figured out where the forums general chat were before reading the announcements in the launcher OR the posts from the devs about the maintenance.

Ikr? Suddenly they know where to complain about it. Suddenly, they finally start looking at the notices on the launcher. Suddenly, it's SE's fault for not writing in huge ass letters when it's maintenance.


A lot of suddenly stuff that could've been avoided if they took a couple a minutes to read the news section in the main site once in a while instead on the day things finally happen.

People slay me when they play mmos and act like they're never supposed to go down for maintenance.

The announcements are there, sometimes even when you log on and have to go through a nice big ol' screen of "Hey guys game's gonna be down for some time." How people miss it and then cry make me wonder how we even play the same game.

See it's posts like these that make me realise that people don't pay attention to anything until it affects them right then.

1. People don't understand why they cannot log in.
2. People search the forums for answers because encountering an error does not suggest something planned is happening.
3. Well in advance notice does not mean well informed, just that it was noted to be upcoming.
4. People expect there to be an obvious answer if there IS something planned.
5. Forum lords sneer and cite poor reading skills and/or laziness (with the exception of those who simply answered).
6. Don't do that.
7. There is always room for improvement and suggesting that things are fine is what's lazy.
