    Honestly if it takes until Thursday to fix this you are going to be hard pressed to find many people who stay with this game. I work in IT and I can imagine the response my companies customers would have for extensive errors lasting this long. I wouldn't have to worry about working Tuesday as the company would collapse under this massive failure. I am tired of you glass half full types, this game is amazing. It is probably the first game since WoW that had any inkling of staying power, but SE throws it away with horrific customer service, false promises, and incompetence on a level not seen since the first MMO. To top that off there is 0 communication from SE on what they really intend to do to fix this issue. Step by step repairs of the log in process are not going to be sufficient to get this derailment back on track. SE was gifted something that gamers rarely give, a second chance. The truly sad part is they pissed it away, if I was head of SE I would be firing my CIO, CEO, and CTO all in one fell swoop. IF it was 1999 or 2000 I could understand, but its 2013. 2013 and we still have companies as big as SE releasing garbage and refusing refunds. Game Over.

    Never really thought of that...well tbh I have rather few options so I'll just wait and see what happens.

    Cannot tell you how many arm chair predictions i have read in 15 years of gaming about companies going bankrupt,,
    -the game is going to die..
    -there wont be anyone left..
    -this game wont survive past next month.
    -Its dead
    - there wont be a community left in 3 months
    - just watch the company is going to close
    -theres no hope...
    ..etc etc etc...and on and on and on

    The common thing amongst almost everyone one of them..

    They were wrong....WoW didn't die a horrible death after its release...People predicted SWTOR's untimely death and its doing just fine...people went in the GW2 forums and said "this game is dead..it wont last 3 months unless they fix it" ....blah blah blah...BF3 .."battlelog is going to kill the battlefield series, BF3 is the death of the series..Battlefield is dead and this place will be a ghost town" ohh and the Best one was the predictions that Steam wasn't going to survive past its 1st year because it sucked so bad at launch and here it is celebrating its 10th anniversary...and neither did multiple other MMo's and online games with bad launches.

    Yes the game needs some attention, yes the launch was rocky,..yes its 2013 and i;'m just as surprised as most that some of the issues exist considering the predictability of them happening. Either way in 6 months this game will be here, it will be here next year and the year after that and i would lay heavy bets so will you be here in 6 months. I will be as i just penned myself in for a 6 months sub and going on good faith and a long history that the game will get its issues fixed ..and lets be honest..the game is damn fun to play..looks amazing and well designed.

    Agreed! I'll still be playing it, too.
