Temporary Sever Shutdown

[CodeHavoc]

Apparently it seems like the only way to shut the kids up about error 1017 is to shut down the servers until the issues can be fixed

Then they would be complaining the servers are down.

I would rather have the servers down and full prioritization of getting these problems fixed than endlessly cycling through the login. Before the issue of "well the people in the game are happy, why make them log out" is brought up, consider that the sooner these problems are dealt with, the sooner we all can move on to enjoying the game that should have been properly launched.

you could always not try to log in for a couple days. You do have the ability to say "Hey, I want to skip this frustration... I'll try logging in after they are supposed to be fixed.

This is a damned if you, damned if you don't. If people get on they will be playing and not complaining. Those who can't get on will come on these forums and complain. In the end, all this does is the following:

1. Clear the AFKers, which is isn't a bad thing
2. Probably get a whole new set of AFKers as those who get on will probably stay on.
3. Create complaints from people who were in game in the middle of something
4. Eventually bring this back here to the forums as those who can't play start complaining.


I'm sure there are other things people can add.

I deal with my problems immediately once I realize they exist. Some people don't do this. I understand that they're limited in their capacity to deal with major problems such as this immediately. Unfortunately, I get the feeling that complete resolution to these problems will be put off until free access (and possibly the "extended" week they're considering) has ended. I may or may not consider throwing some coin at them after this free period, but I certainly won't if this is the case.

Believe it or not, not being able to play an MMO is not a major problem to most people, it's a minor inconvenience. Having said that, I'm all about getting what you paid for, but they've already stated they've tested a fix that will be implemented Wednesday, along with possible compensation to those affected. So for now, there's not much else that can be done about it until after the supposed fix is in place. We'll see how well it works. If it doesn't, then there'll be something to complain about once again.

Adding more servers is fine, altho ppl will just flood to those servers.
- adding a log in restriction is not the answer, adding channels to a game to allow more mobs to be farmed is.

- adding an afk kick will only make ppl use advanced bots to stay in game like Viper.
-what needs to be done is a total number of players on each server section, and the option to freely transfer to said server.

-A lot of guilds are being split up by this and adding new servers will have the same effect when full guilds transfer.

-In order to have a guild transfer effectivly the guild needs to know how much room is left for other guildies to make the server selection.

- In no way should one have to pay for transfers due to the producers error

- Based on the above if done asap ppl will be fine.
- If server service was out for x=number of days,
please credit x=number of days back to the paid account.

Better to know that issue is being fixed instead of waiting around for something to be done, which the staff @SE and the forum mods are failing to communicate on.

There are forum mods?
