Temporary Sever Shutdown

[MindUrManners]

hate how this vague info just keeps getting posted

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.

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.

Are servers down right now? because in the status page they are all listed as Online :/

[Banryuu]

I understand it's frustrating but you people must realize that SE is doing ALL this out of pocket right now. Everything we're doing is for free so for them to do any switches or corrections to a server costs money, which they aren't really getting a lot of currently. I'm as frustrated as anyone else with this 1017 but what gets me is that I can't even obtain a spot in line to login.

after can always say and hope it'll last this or until next week.

Would help if SE was actually communicating outside of the brief message with some more detail...
Like right now, got ejected during a dng and without prior info etc and now can't log back in, unable to load server.

Emergency maintenance? just random disconnection and error and now im in the error zone?
Wont know until either few hour or a word somewhere warning of it.

I thought this forum was the game?

I can't quite remember which MMO it was that I was playing at launch... but they had a similar issue with overcrowding and they literally shut down the servers for 3 days while they did the grunt-work of adding more. They let us all know when it would be down, when it would be back up, some people raged... but mostly it was quiet.
