Something I Noticed That Is Deeply Saddening

[Arikaen]

So fucking glad I'm not the only one to remember that abortion ...

And OP, I completely agree with you... As I saw in another thread, I'll just keep on keeping on. I hope everyone else does the same, and later we can all laugh at this. Doubtful, but a cat can dream, can't he?

Won't matter they will just find something else to complain about.Just like the beta forums. First it was the combat, then it was the fates, then it was the pricing and that it wasn't free to play, then it was that theres no boobs or butts, then it was that lightning was in the game, then it was that you didn't have 100,000 more options, then it was that not everyone had legacy, then it was that beta was only on weekends, then it was that they did a character wipe before phase 4, then it was the servers. After servers get fixed it will be something else they complain about like why doesn't this game have pandas? or why doesn't this game support triple fire and only crossfire, then it will be why is it going to take another 6 months for the expansion, then its going to be why do I have to pay for expansion?Then why did they do server maintenance this month while I was trying to run a dungeon for the 600th time, then it will be why did the expansion only have 5 new classes and not 10, then it will be why is the next expansion still a year and a half away, then it will be why can I only create 8 characters per world and not spam my gil selling website? Then it will be why is this game still up after 2 years? It will never be good enough for most of the people who are on here and the ones who truly enjoy it will pay and play and be damn grateful for it, the rest will hop around and make the exact same threads 9000000 on the next MMO to come out and nothing will ever change even when the gaming landscape does. Keep on Keeping on though my little furry friend.

Also, thanks for reminding me of this.

You my friend, are awesome - you've summed it up perfectly. Some people will never be satisfied, not matter what SE does.

Didn't have an issue with Hellgate London at launch. I can say the same thing for D3 and Simcity. For some reason I didn't have issues with those.

You didn't experience it, so it never happened, right?

At least they've put a halt on digital (first-party) sales so you have less people to compete with currently. This is money out of their pocket, as well as the potential start of subscription income. Third-party stores are a different story, however I know many companies that would/do still push their product even at the detriment of current/future customers.

[Supersomething]

Guild Wars 2 had a spectacularly terrible launch in addition to Hellgate London. In fact they employed several of the things that SE has been doing this week. Restricting access to servers and completely shutting down digital sales from their websites.

I am not saying that this type of thing is acceptable from any game company, but this is hardly the worst or first time this has happened.

[Shayuyu]

It's hardly the worse... there's Knight Online legendary half a year worth of Error 255 where you manage to login but cannot join any server because this error keeps popping up when you try...

[Spiritous]

I played tera for way to long. Besides horrid D-sync and class imbalance i never had to many problems via servers. And i have been bidding my time. Put about a thousand miles on my bike and played more Smite then i think is good for me.
Hell i think S/E is on to something here. Alot of people find it hard to quit an mmo. So 1017 errors might be the new weening mechanic. S/E the humanitarians in disguise!

In all seriousness though. I really need to feed my miqo'te. Its been over week now...

[Urbancat]

I can remember some launches that had quite some worse problems really. Anyway I like Lucifurr post.
Hellgate London.. I did erase that from my memory... Now I remember.. and I am sad too.
