How long have some of these people been working on this game for? and they still cant get things to work decently? When you cant get BASIC MMO functions to work...its a sad day.
The fact you're forgetting is that the staff working on the game changed about 8 months ago. Yes, it has been a while but they have been fixing bigger problems (like I dunno the entire battle system, craft system, transportation issues, SP rewards, etc...)

I don't know how many people from the old team are left but the fewer that are the worse off the new team is. I've had some pretty fundamental instruction in programming and even at that basic level looking at someone else's code can be a nightmare if they don't mark everything properly. I'm going to take a stab and say that the old team didn't.

I imagine what they're going through right now is somewhat akin to attempting to untangle multiple sets of x-mas tree lights simultaneously while they're on and if a single bulb goes out you have to fix it before continuing and the entire time you have a crowd of angry people shouting at you to fix it faster.
