Last I checked we are not paying to play, that's for free, we paid for *perks* and special goodies, which I'm sure you received already.
If a little downtime because of some bad luck for the company is reason for you to leave the game then you must not really be as badly addicted as the rest of us
Have some patience, it will all be sorted out or go try something different for a few hours.

Just thought I would mention that STO is also down so its something affecting a large area of their games.
Like I said my bard and my friend's cleric offered complimentary rezzes and runbacks to the zone (Me zip zapping to their loc and then grouping with them while twisting the speed song with the endless breath song. while cleric medded and rezzed) and then we started going to highly populated zones and using the shout command to notify all other players of what the 2 people who led the raid did and providing their character's names so nobody would group with them Payback is a Beeyotch HEHEHE
Well there again how things have changed...Your reputation was everything back then. Now it does not matter in games today. And good for you. I would always be the last to leave any zone you had to be teleported or translocated out of even if danger was present or could become present. And no I never charged for my all the stones it cost me.
But if they didn't control the content, it would devolve very quickly into a troll haven. While it's been years since i visited some other forums *coughWoWcough* i remember how entire threads had to be constantly removed because of trolling. They didn't bother to keep AHEAD of the problem, so it often quickly escalated out of control. i also used to be head admin a fairly large forum (NOT gaming related) and it can be very hard to know how strict you need to be to keep things safe and friendly while still allowing free speech. i'd rather the mods err on the side of caution most days just because i know how quickly things can spiral out of control when they don't.
There is no free speech on a forum, never has been.

You're right. My reputation as a healer was *very* important to me. On Hate raids, people would argue over who got to have me in their group. It felt nice being wanted!

"run afoul" - indeed it can. Actionable on those grounds? Absent state action, or a close nexus thereto, no. I stand by my convictions. If you'd like to carry this discussion further, private messages are welcome.
So, if you guys have so much time to complain, why not drive on over the PWE and lend them a hand. With all your expertise it should be fixed in no time.
Free to play quite logically means that there is no need for any compensation, however Perfect world has always been good about acknowledging issues and prolonging events like this weekends skirmish when impacted by downtime. Stinks that its down...quite possibly means I'm going to loose the celestial coins I was accruing but...at the end of the day, its a pretty damned good free game that will be back up shortly, and I'll just have to do something else in the meantime (and yes, I have spent plenty of money on zen supporting this game...it's worth it).

Hate CR's could take a long long time. Ah I so loved the brutality that game could dish out on you. That is something I miss in all of the new games, there isn't that penalty for being foolish or the real requirement for skill and cooperation.
I miss casting deadmans on everyone in the nexus just to get the whole zone floating...or the vast amount of people I met needing a translocation while on my wiz...EQ1 was an experience like no other.

I agree so much you could never know. That was a game that took real skill and cooperation. I don't think anyone could imagine raids having and needing 100 people in them today. And all those people had to communicate and cooperate just via the keyboard. No such thing as teamspeak or ventrilo etc.
I never played EQ I played Ultima Online, miss the heck out of that game. It's still supported but also still through subscription and the shard population has fallen so much it isnt worth the money.

I think you might be quoting the wrong post there.

They have a browser game where you can send your companions into a dungeon to fight with dice. One of the dungeons will refresh your coin timers. Adding 30 hours to the timer so just give it a play.
Edit: **** just went to do that for myself and the webpage is down as well.
Lol how many of us Veterns of EQ are there here. More and more comments about the old days when we had to retrieve our corpse nakid keep coming out of the wood works while we wait for the server to come up or end up going to bed, whichever comes first.
I miss casting deadmans on everyone in the nexus just to get the whole zone floating...or the vast amount of people I met needing a translocation while on my wiz...EQ1 was an experience like no other.
I was thinking about the differences in my complaints on this game and EQ1. This game "I got <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> loot in the chest". EQ1 "I spent 14 hours on a CR and lost two levels"...

Well it's good that its more of a positive place than some other places. But I don't see the point when i can't contribute my own points because posts get removed or a thread gets closed before I can even contribute. They lock just because of trends that threads can end with flaming and so take action before any of that happens. That punishes those that do want a fair discussion. A forum should be a reasonably open place to discuss things but here I feel like I don't want to because some of the time I can't. I used to be a moderator on another gaming forum since I was asked, the moderators on the whole were more lax on the rules which did result in some flaming (though they did kind of deserve it since they were pretty awful), but at least you could be open. For some reason just because I defended the company on some points, one person thought I was a fanboy when I was far from it. Not sure why people chose those positions though, it takes time to maintain the boards and some people just don't appreciate it.
Compensated for downtime? It's a FREE to play game, just because you buy Zen doesnt entitle you to ANYTHING!!!
Free to reach out to more consumers to get more money, not because they're generous. They do not get a fre card because it's possible to play for free. But yes, it's silly and kind of selish to request for compensation. It's like going, "oh I wanted a new tv at this store yesterday but you guys were on fire, can i have it for 50% off?". People get compensated because they miss out on something, usually money wise. No-one apart from cryptic are losing out on anything.

Maybe we should or I will make a guild called Veterans of Everquest. Not sure if it could be called that.
That's the nature of the beast. And why we're all here instead of playing
