    Sounds like they lived up to their promise!

    Nice of them to make an announcement in game and in the forums...

    I kind of expect something on the website to tell me it's expected downtime rather then somebody telling me they made an announcement on twitter.

    Really poor show.

    The "it is beta" excuse is getting a bit old. What we have here is the result of a large game getting less than 2 weeks of closed beta testing. What we have here is the result of not even bothering to CB test a large portion of the game at all. It is a result of a company using CB as a marketing and revenue generating tool, not as a way to test for bugs.

    Yes, it is beta. But it is becoming a bad beta. Now, there is clearly panic sweat forming. Servers just turned off with no warning at all, hours after the horses are already out of the barn. 8th graders are picking the code in this game apart. It is getting hard to like this game.

    Have to agree, a few minutes notice would have been nice, to allow people to move to a safe area.

    Yes of course, a few minutes notice would have been very nice.. to the exploiters who then would have been warned and had time to push their cheated Astral Diamonds to other accounts before being banned.
    I heard criminals would prefer if the police knocked before the raid, would only be fair.

    Anyone who was Exploiting the ah should be banned! Thats right Banned! If you were exploiting the game, you are a cheater and nothing more and should be banned. Everyone else will have a better game experience for it, as I would venture that alot of these exploiters/cheaters are also loot ninjas.
    I hope everyone who exploited the AH gets the Ban hammer, and I dont care if you spent money to be a founder as you violated the Eula.

    So... No admins that can say how long the servers are going to be down? And why they are down? Like.. At least in WoW we got a notice somewhere...

    Edit:

    No. They just did it again. But hey - it is Sunday and they are trying to fix the game.

    Anyone complaining about the game being brought down to fix these kinds of issues, obviously hasnt beta tested very many new games. When WoW went live it was down for days at a time not a few hours, many of the other games I have tested had similar issues. I Have to give Perfect World a huge thumbs up for the speed in which they are finding and fixing these issues.

    Patience is a virtue people. Time to learn some patience ;p

    The Problem is that there are people, in all MMO's that just have to have the best gear, be in the best Guild, blah blah blah...It's a game, instead of enjoying it...all they really want to do is belittle people.instead of trying to help others become better players. I'm so sick of the whining in all chats about of that game is better than this blah..blah blah...STFU and just enjoy the game or leave..geez

    No, it stopped being beta once they started accepting real money and declared no more wipes.

    A real beta is for debugging and stress testing the servers. Then wipe everything for a live launch where everyone starts off fresh.

    The speed in which they are finding? They are not finding any of these major bugs until after billions of RL exhangable currency have already been exploited out of/in to the game. Not until the exploits are the sole topic of discussion in zone chats. For this you give them kudos? Please. How can a AAA release let you bid negative millions of currency on an item and receive the item and all of the currency? That is absurd, and comical that they have allowed this to happen. Easily preventable. But since they could not even get the search function in the AH done correctly, I guess it is no surprise.

    Any estimations on how long it's going to be down? Launcher doesn't mention anything.

    If you are unhappy with the way things are being handled then maybe you should just find another game that meets your standards. I personally am very impressed with their performance. Also what kind of player trys to input a negative value into an AH? A cheater/exploiter/undesirable and in my opinion should be Banned as I stated in my other post. No one is perfect, things slip by, I blame that on the beta testers, myself included for not reporting these buggs as we found them.

    I got an invitation from a friend to try this game out today, so I downloaded the game and I was going through the character creation when the server went down. No message other than "Server is unavailable at this time" with no ETA on the launcher etc... The forum takes forever to load too...not a good first impression, I am sorry to say. :(
