    By odd co-incidence I had just seen a Drake Handler tell a Rage Drake to "play dead" before the server crashed.

    I've heard of obediance but that's atking things a bit too far lol

    We just got a ton of free stuff / gifts / very cheap mounts / relatively cheap wards and so on and so forth. They´re supposed to compensate us? For what?
    Over the past Cryptic / PWE made several changes to the game they should fall on their knees and beg for forgiveness for - but here we seem to have technical problems and those just can happen.

    This has something to do with my son's nap time because it always goes down when he is asleep and I have uninterrupted time to play!
    Blame the toddler...

    I think the servers just need to be upgraded. Pretty sure it's about time to beef up the servers.

    I know this is off topic... Now that i am 60 what else is there to do? how to get purple gear for lvl 60?

    Well the game really begins at lvl 60, start running T1 or T2 dungeons to get epic gear, find a guild to join to help you run content, you can find groups in the "looking for Groups" channel, also you can start on your campaign boons, Dread ring and Sharandar

    I don't think they are going to say any exploits that crash a server so that people don't go around doing them on purpose thinking it's funny. That's what happened with 100 Balors being summoned at once in NWN Classic once people found out. Had to disable the **** summon thingie... : mumble grumbles on coding:

    Also, what causes the outages isn't necisarilly information they have to provide to the public. It's broke, they'll fix it.

    When this happened on this past Wednesday, it was almost 6 hours before we could play. And, I would like to mention, I'm certainly glad they did their quarterly sever maintenance on Tuesday this week. I can't imagine what we would be experiencing if they hadn't

    I'm not sure if you even notice this. BUT this is indeed a p2p game IF you got the cash for it. OTHER then that it;s f2p for those that don't mind the grinding out phase. But hey you got it tho.

    its a free to play game with in app purchases just like every single free and not so free games on smart phones. the game CAN be done well enough without depositing hundreds of bucks into THEIR pockets. I should know. i spent 10$ for the first time buyer's pack and thats it. i refuse to give any money to a game who's performance is shoddy at best.

    " you get what you pay for" An old adage thats been said by the generations above me and my generation as well. you young children ( 25 and younger) have absolutely no sense of the phrases we grew up with ( with rare exception ill grant you)

    your world WILL NOT END because you cannot play a video game. go outside.. go do some laundry... fold clothes... wash dishes... play a different game if you are so addiced to the light shining from a screen

    but for the love of god quit your complaining at the devs who are doing their best to make you happy.

    ive been in customer service before... some person comes in demanding change for a 100 and throws a 30 cent pack of gum on the counter, ill safe vend 80 bucks in 1's making him wait the 3 min between each vend. the nice ones i vend s20's and say have a nice day

    The 2nd server outtage in a week?

    How can you expect us to still be patient?



    I dont want any free stuff, I just want to play the game, but the server is bugged since mod5 came out and now we reached a point where it crashes twice a week.

    Many people paid a lot of money for zen, is it too much to ask for a stable server enviorment with stable software, serviced my confident personal?

    Ok

    So the servers are down....stop beating the guys up that are working hard to fix it....

    Anyway let start a quiz...

    1) What was the cape of catastrophe for?

    2) What race was released to buyers knight of the feywild pack.

    3) What race was first only released as part of a pack but then a more general released to all players.

    4) What goddess is all about the heart and two people.

    5) What drow goddess was good.

    Start adding your own questions to this thread about neverwinter and forgotten realms in general

    And of course try to come up with the answers.

    Even though I'm going to miss out on a bunch of daily stuff and thus miss out on the overall weekly stuff. (pfft not end of the world) I'll just be happy for it to be back online so I can mess about in Foundry I'd be happy.

    However I really do think they need to think about getting more server space the game is obviously popular to be getting enough people on at weekends and Holidays seasons for them to overload like this all the time. I am sorry to say but it is getting like we can set a watch to it. :/ I know there is little that can be done other then the lengthy process of rebooting and stabilising them ( <-trying to speak english not nerd here). but honsily something needs doing to stop this happening as much as it dose, :/ the EU servers have been sketechy and very laggy since the last black out, in that you rubberband EVERYwhere for no reason. they've been laggy the past few days but then just as the USA wakes up BAM we all black out again big time. This says to me serveroverload from to many people on at the same time. It happend with Seganet, It happens with Microsoft and sony EVERY xmas, It happens with guild wars 2 every BIG hol' (like xmas) and its clarely happening here to. :/ and all anyone can do both sides is pull hair out of heads.

    I'm seeing people asking for free stuff. To those PPL. What are you 2 year olds who just dropped their Icecream?! most of us would be happy for the game to just work!

    Just curious, in the launcher where it shows "Server Status:" will that auto update when the servers come back if I leave the launcher up? Or is it like other game's launchers where you have to constantly close it and reopen it to see any changes?

    T1 and T2 dungeons are the epic version of dungeons you probably ran through at the end of each adventure zone, like Cloak Tower or Spellplague Caverns. You can form parties at Protector's Enclave.
