Do some people just rage for the sake of it? Or are they incapable of reading the thread and absorbing the information contained therein? What part of 'external' are they having difficulty with?
Answers on a postcard to...
Or...is the RAGE only in your head?
You have to learn what a 'discussion' is.
Of course, people are in various states of bewilderment, upset and/or skepticism. There has been NO official word in over 5 hours.
Whenever you have an information vacuum, rumors, tempers and massive amounts of misinformation are bound to accumulate.
This would have been very easy to diffuse, right from the start.
Crash + 15 minutes: Report from PWE, we have checked our system and everything is ok here, now checking external issues.
Crash+ 1hr, Confirmed all our systems are fully functional, awaiting confirmation from our ISP as to net outage...

Crash + ??? etc, etc,..
Saying nothing is the worst thing to do.
Honestly...OK I kinda see your point, BUT (and its a huge BUT) people should not have to read a huge thread of a bunch of angry people to find out what the issue with the game is.... Just sayin.
This once happened to EQ1 and the game was out for an entire night. It turned out to be a Qwest backbone problem a thousand miles away. It happens.
ROFL just ONCE??? I remember daily outage back in the day, don't even get me started there and they were making a cool 20 million a month in subscription fees. Many times back in the day several times a day. And lots of times there would be roll backs from a few minutes to hours or even the previous day. And that was back in the day it was hard to level and took a long long time to level. And all you got was a sorry.
It has and will continue to happen to every online game that ever existed or will exist.
You just *had* to remind me...I had managed to block all that out. My last straw in EQ1 was a 60-man Hate raid that ran over 12 hours. It really bites being the only surviving cleric.

You are assuming everyone is angry....
I find people too quickly add words like 'angry' or 'mad' or whatever to ordinary discussions.

Why is it that ANY MMO I have ever played has a "fan base" that demands something for nothing when there are connectivity issues? It happens in every game. I can understand wanting an extra day tacked on to subscriptions but in this case that doesn't apply. Is it annoying? Yes. Does it merit having Bigby's Box of Boiled BS dropped into everyone's inventory? No.
Computers are amazing machines but it seems that people who use them to explore magical realms with them expect them to be magical and never fail.
And to those who say there has been no official word you are looking in the wrong place lol.

Hey adventurers, we're still working to resolve it. It's a hardware issue that we're looking to resolve.

The part he misses is that the mods do pop in here every few minutes to let us know that it is external and that they are still working on it.
This seems to be taking a while. Guess I should get more beer. You don't expect me to PVP *sober*, do you?
Trust me this game is hard to play drunk. I tried to play it wasted awhile back and my vision was extremely blury, I couldn't read any of the text on the screen, so I just exited it and lied down for awhile.

New to the game? Check out my build guide to give you an idea on how to set up your characters!

LOL...try playing the wiz that was always the one to port the first group up to Hate. And the First to die since back in the day I had a super system and zoned very fast. I would arrive...I would die and the rest of the group would then appear.
And don't forget the rollbacks during hell levels where you lost 4x the normal exp for death.
People have it easy these since WOW. I miss games like EQ1 where you actually had to work for what you got.

the trick is to take failures into the calculation right from the start...
not expecting hardware to break and having apropriate replacements at hand, is as far seeing as the impression a gamedev team could come up with a working RNG while a horde of geek scientist miserably fails try after try...

Can't be a HARDware issue. They can't seem to get it up at all :P
