    I guess my math must be wrong.. how could you have been grinding 12 hours straight if the servers came up at 1:15am PST and went down again at 11am PST? isn't that only 10 hours? and I'm lvl 78 and have no problem with the rollback.. I would rather them rollback and get things "rolling" again, than have them continue to get the problems figured out.. why not rollback the patch, get the servers up.. correct the new code and re-release the patch tonight?

    Well why the GMs let us speculate so long now? A clear answere whats the prob and a approximately time when servers could be back on would make the rumors and speculatings quiter. Well i respect the GM support but i dont understand why noone of them can give us actually informations about whats going on. And not the stupid same text again and again.

    3 hours is unacceptable. The technical support of this game is a tremendous failure.

    Okay. I apologize _River. b:surrender I'm a little over-tired and suffering from time-zone dyslexia.

    and to whoever... was it REALLY necessary to start calling me names?

    We're all obviously stressed by this, but don't be calling people a dumbass. I know i screwed up and made a bit of a jackass out of myself. doesnt really mean you need to start being a d!ckhead about itb:angry

    The reason why is because they are working to fix the game we are speculating on.

    I hate to say it, but deleting everyone's progress is the best way to solve the problem.
    Not too sure if the GM's can see through logs if coin/items have been traded or not but to make sure either way, it's best to roll it all back, to get it all.

    Well IMO roll backs are ok to fix things, but it is a shame that the people that had nothing to do with the bug or anyone who didn't even know about the bug would have to suffer. I had no clue about this bug and I grinded 40% which is about 4 hours worth. So therefore us that didn't know lose all progress that was made. b:cry I would have done nothing on the game if I knew all that was going on b:chuckle

    Why? Do u have experience on fixing bugs?
    They need to 1st fix bugs , then put the patch on test server for quality test to see that everyone works. That takes time, easily whole workday. Biggest mistake u can do is, rush a fix and not test it and find out it opened new bigger bugs.

    They should take all the time they need and little more to make sure all bugs are fixed and all bugs found before out servers up.
    Even if that means offline for day or 2.

    personally, I DO have experience fixing bugs (I'm a computer programmer by trade) and as I've said in other posts, what they could do is rollback to the last known working code (71) and get the servers online, then correct the problems with this patch on a devel/test server, test to make sure they work, and then release a new patch later this evening.

    I love all the excuses you guys are coming up with.

    "o mi gawd eye greyendid 4 11 ours str8, know rowlbak plz"

    "eye krafted sawch eh gewd eyetem, plz know rowlbak"

    I mean seriously....lol. Let the rollback begin. Be appreciated that they are actually here to fix the problem, using their own time to do it.

    Should put Prozac in boutique...most need it tbh.

    When programmers are put on emergency "fix your massive screwup" duty and are stressed out of their gourds, then a GM comes up and says "when will this be fixed so I can tell the players?" they generally get a computer keyboard thrown at their heads :D

    no rollback=quit and file lawsuit against pwi for every penny i have spent on this game back because of unfair business practices. they are offering a service and there are common sense expectations that the game will be run fairly for everyone. if this is left to remain as is with just the bug removed and leaving all this excess money in game i guarantee anyone who files a lawsuit will win. they can argue that its a free game and money paid for gold are donations all they want but common sense says that there are certain expectations to have a fair chance in game.

    if PWI wants to test my theory i already consulted with a lawyer about it and he is drooling over the possibility of a class action lawsuit.

    Just when I think, "Surely this person has reached and encapsulates the limits of Internet tedium" you go and push the boundary even further. I suggest you hone your writing skills before applying borrowed glories as a mere typist.

    I notice that you never let an idea interrupt the flow of your posts. Why is it that the people with the smallest minds always have the biggest mouths? Have you ever noticed that whenever you sit behind a keyboard, some idiot starts typing? To quote Martin Luther King, Jr.: "Nothing in the world is more dangerous than a sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity."

    Reading your post is less interesting than watching paint dry. If wit was spit, your mouth would be drier than a shallow well in an African heat wave. Do yourself and everyone else a favor: take a fatal overdose of your medication. Maybe you wouldn't be such a Jerk-In-The-Box if you weren't intellectually slower than a herd of turtles stampeding through a vat of chunky peanut butter; if your weren't so fat from all that cheap beer you spend your Welfare payments on that your belly jiggle is the first ever perpetual motion machine, or if you didn't have a face like a boiled Octopus. Nah, of course you would.

    PWE Devs are working to fix the issues from last night's patch.

    No ETA yet on when the servers will be back up.

    We like to be in the game too b:victory

    Please keep assumptions and rumors as just that, do not take those as truths.

    Please look for official posts from Admins here on the forums in regards to the emergency server maintenance.

    Oh, thought this was the same message again?? b:pleased

    We aren't allowed to say anything until the devs tell us and things get tested.

    Have a little bit of faith that PWE is doing the best they can to get the game back up!

    And yes, we do play! b:victory
    Do you need help learning about patching the game, installing it, changing antivirus/firewall settings, changing network settings, learn how to use a computer, keeping your PC maintained and more?

    Because I pay to play and not to fix things. The ones that fix things get paid to do so. Maybe they should worry a bit more with a good tech support and a bit less selling items in boutique at outrageous prices. So it's up to tech to fix and up to me to pay and play. Correct?

    Yes i know but a clearer answer as that would be a little bit better i think. Well i mean they are working hard on the servers but they let the people that play it stay alone in the rain that time. Thats not the right way to hold a good community.
