5 hour emergency maintenance with 10 minutes notice...

[Faedden]

Maint never bothers me because...well it's just natural. It's like the game's form of sleeping, going to get a check up, etc. But this game has the most maint I've ever seen for a p2p game. =T


Ugh this posting limit BS is nerv racking. Only 5 posts a day?

I have a feeling that, after the success of XI and reasons for it, that they are planning some big things for the future with the next expansion. The content we are getting during updates just seems like ways of entertaining us a bit until they blow our minds away with all types of shit. There's no way this game is not going to have NMs, HNMs, Pop item farming, raiding zones. I can't see them not having the type of content they did in XI. There is just way too much demand for it. I really am looking forward to the game's future!

Q: How will we fight notorious monsters in A Realm Reborn? Will they only appear in FATE battles and dungeons?

A: For the most part, NMs will only appear in FATE battles. Once a FATE has started nearby, it will be marked on the map, so players that join will notice the NM right away. We want these battles to be a fun experience that brings players together. Some very large NMs are hiding out there somewhere, so stay alert!

It'll be in the form of a watered down fate, there will never be any world content besides a fate.

Btw, that emergency maintenance is only for the Primal Data Center, won't appearantly be affecting others, so.

Not sure where you got the Primal Data Center part, but I won't argue it since I'm on Primal.

We loose 20-30 people every week who just quit playing in total from our free company..

It's your fault for tying them wrong. Choose a comfortable rope next time, and take the damn apple out of their mouths, for Odin's sake!

With numbers like this this game will be dead in a year. Its just inviting bad publicity and reviews..

"Their just"? What?

Also, I didn't know everyone in the game was from your FC, I thought FCs had a limit of 512 people. So in 17 weeks the game will be empty? Interesting.

Please SE get what ever you keep breaking fixed this has been going on 2-3 times a week since beta and still not fixed... I love this game but even my friends are getting fed up and starting to leave... We loose 20-30 people every week who just quit playing in total from our free company.. With numbers like this this game will be dead in a year. Its just inviting bad publicity and reviews..

Your friends are leaving for Maintenances?! O.O

[Ghasto]

It's perfectly normal to do a maintenance, but to announce it 15 minutes before the stipulated time? You've gotta be kidding me.

Hence the term "Emergency Maintenance".
They don't just do this because it's fun.

[Sevokevo_Royuki]

So let me get this straight.

People from your Free Company are leaving because SE is fixing (possibly) game-breaking issues and stabilizing the servers to reduce (possible) lag?
Oh wow.

Btw, that emergency maintenance is only for the Primal Data Center, won't appearantly be affecting others, so.

Uhhh The maintenance is on ALL worlds not just one Datacenter.

5 hrs?? C'mon SE get it together

[Coltvoyance]

2-3 times a week for the past 6 months huh? Exaggerating much? How bout you go run your own MMO, lets see if you can do better.

*Plays Smallest Violin*

inb4 Morons complaining about their Subscription payments and wanting to be compensated for it being down for 5 hours. The stupidest complaint ever.
