So this compensation

[illutian]

What about a global buff that lasts 7-days of IN-GAME TIME. Buff increases XP for all professions (including crafting). As a second choice?

It can't be anything that would directly affect the economy...that's for sure.


((It's funny, I'm fine with this method of not being able to play, but whoooa, Error 1017 does frost me :P ))

A free week and a free server transfer would do fine I think. Allow the people who got stuck making on certain worlds be able to move if they wanted to. Giving in-game items/progress seems silly.

I want a free week of game time, a server transfer, a back rub and a pony. SE better deliver!!!!

[TheRac25]

game should be free to play as long as there are people that cant login
and then another 30 days ontop of that

They didn't need to give you anything at all so stop complaining. I'll be so glad when this free trial period runs out and all these people complaining run back to whatever other mmo's they prefer.

True they really don't have to give out anything, but then with all the issue's of not even being able to log in.

I think personally i've managed a whole 5 hours of gameplay and that's when i got up extra early to log in.. then theres still a ton of people afking around.
I really wanted to play this and not being able to play is making me not really give a crap what there doing or not doing, which by the way is more or less what happened with version 1.0....

plus its the weekend I'm sure the number of people trying to log in sky rocketed since some folks wait till there time off to acquire and or play...

TLDR: issues not allowing for any reasonable play time makes people not really care anymore and move on.

Free time equal to the time lost is fair to me. This should include more time if the new servers still prevent people logging in. I don't think in-game items should be offered.

My biggest problem isn't lost time though. It's a couple friends who started on different servers because they couldn't join mine. A one week period of one free transfer per character would be nice, subject to server availability.

Of course SE doesn't have to do anything, but for a company that has such a bad reputation for customer service a little more than a free week couldn't hurt. Compensation should fit the actual problems though. Since I wouldn't have paid a server transfer fee had we all been able to start on the same server to begin with, SE losing out on that specific transfer fee fits.

Well they are only considering a free week after their update to fix on Wednesday(still why not just do it now, it cannot get much worse), but can there be multiple package choices, a free week of an update that may not help at all is ok, but I want something that is guaranteed to help me and maybe others advance. How about something like a free relic voucher or maybe 2k tomestones or something that is as I said an actual progress step as seeing most players cannot get on making them feel like they did not miss out on what work they could have done, to me seems like a better option than just a free week.

Edit: stop thinking the idea was for those items, it was more of the concept of something more beneficial and tangible than a week of play time.

How is a week of free time not just compensation for a week of server troubles?

Like many of you guys, I haven't been able to play much either and so far I've only been able to get my marauder to level 24. I created another character on a JP server and at this point I think it would be nice if I could transfer it over to my main character's server for free. Do you guys think that would be possible?

A free week and a free server transfer would do fine I think. Allow the people who got stuck making on certain worlds be able to move if they wanted to. Giving in-game items/progress seems silly.

Actually, they should allow unlimited free server transfers with a 72hr cooldown....until populations stabilize. But keep them region-restricted.

FYI the free trial comes with the PURCHASE of the game for most of us.

So unless this gets fixed I will cancel my subscription before they can charge my card. If they won't implement things to help me get in they don't get my money. (i.e. AFK timers)

Love this game but i'll be back when i can play it.

No sense in wasting any amount of money no matter how little it is and veteran rewards are cosmetic I don't need them.
