90k errors and YOU SE

[Shioban]

Great job restating the ToS like a snarky jerk, and missing the point completely. If SE doesn't fix these problems and calm the large amounts of players affected by them then they'll just take their money elsewhere and no one will win.

It would seem that you've missed the point. You agreed to it, meaning you have to deal with it regardless of what the issue may be. If the game and or sections of it are broken and need maintenance to fix it, you as a consenting adult agreed to wait for whatever period of time they've stated. Or are you completely missing the point of a basic MMO ToS?


Would you rather them leave it and not pull it down to fix it?
Think sensibly and you'll come to the conclusion "It's better they take it offline and fix it, yes".

They are fixing this unique problem as we speak.
What I mean by this is, once you fix it, it's very likely to break again or even make it worse once you put it back up again.

As I pointed out already, this is a completley different set of problems to the one you probably encountered last week, and the week before that, and the many months before that during the BETA/ALPHA stages.

A memory leak is completely different problem from a database error, so why would you lump them into the same category of "OMG SE fix this".


If you were expecting an MMO to have a flawless 24/7, one month solid without issue status, then you're never going to find an MMO you're happy with.

WOW, Guild Wars 2, TERA, Star Wars, RIFT. EVERY single one of these MMOs has had database errors, memory corruption, memory leaks, small lines of code causing conflicts and crashes or hangs.

As a (supposedly) mature adult, you agreed to deal with these problems when they occurred, my "snarky" remark was simply pointing out that YOU agreed to deal with it, but yet here we are.

If SE doesn't fix these problems and calm the large amounts of players affected by them then they'll just take their money elsewhere and no one will win.

I'm sorry, but if you can't deal with a video game going down for 1-2 hours, you're going to need a priority check.
That's genuinely worrying and I'd recommend you seek further help if it's causing you (or anyone else) this amount of stress.

I have yet to find a single person I know who has left the game, because the servers have gone down for maintenance due to an error.

If you want to leave over a few bits of maintenance, you know how to cancel your subscription and un install the game, you'd be the only one loosing out here.

If they are under 18, I sure hope they got their parents permission.
