    They just said they're mad that its that month and has not been officially announced, not that it hasn't been released. I can agree with them. I feel it is incredibly unprofessional not to give a date to this kind of thing, ESPECIALLY as soon as already inside the promised month, even if it is only the first of said month. I don't care if it comes out today, tomorrow, or in four weeks, but I feel it is a sign of how immature this company can be. Yeah, surprised are nice, but that's not why they do it. They just don't want to give themselves a narrow deadline.

    I don't recall the specifics, but I know for the TB expansion, they didn't announce the exact day until a day or two (MAYBE a week) before it did come out. And even then, the date they gave, they pushed it forward another night because they weren't ready. Says a lot about what to expect from the company when they can't meet a deadline they set themselves.

    exactly, thank you, good, someone said what i couldn't put into words.

    An approximate date was kind of already given in a recent news post that stated that the expansion was "approximately a month away". A real date would be nice, but at the same time, setting a date and then having to postpone it because of last minute issues would just **** people off. Last minute issues aren't always an indication of incompetency (or immaturity) either... it's not as simple as just flipping a switch and having the expansion up and running. Since this is really the only mmorpg I'm familiar with, maybe other games handle their expansion releases differently... but a week or so of advance notice (rather than a month+) seems fair enough to me. lol Anywaysss for all we know they could tell us what's going on with tonight's news posts. I just don't think it's fair to run out of patience on the very first day of the month the expansion is due. :P

    This is the only MMO I'm familiar with myself. I suppose I'm used to console games, for example. They get it ready to go and THEN give a date. And an actual date rather than a month that it will come out. I guess I just don't understand why an online game needs to work any differently when it comes to release dates for expansions. It just seems like being lazy and almost cheating in a sense. I don't know, maybe my standards are just too high. I guess being a people pleaser and all about customer service and satisfaction at my job, that I figure everyone takes their job so seriously. b:surrender

    Do GMs actually do anything? It's been 2 weeks since the last maintenance, you promised an expansion in February that were now getting in March, you ruined our economy, you don't fix a single bug, you continuously ignore your dying community and continue to shove packs down our throats. Do you even play the game? Do you even do any work? Maybe if you did we'd get the expansion on time, or maybe even a few bug fixes. This has got to be one of the worst run games ever.

    Being released March 2nd is better than being released March 9th ijs

    Right?
    As I look to the Horizon, I know danger is coming
    Fearing my power as a BladeMaster may not be enough,
    Ninja and Samarai skills failing, I look for someone to help avert the incoming disaster. Who will answer my call? Will it be the seeker? Or the Mystic? Or even an Earthguard at all...
    All I know is Darkness has come once again.
    And this time Light may not be enough to repel it...
    Genesis is upon us. Are you prepared for it?

    So your telling me, if your city provides a free bus service that you decide to ride one day to save gas, is completely unsanitary, you have no right to complain because its free? If you offer a product whether it be free or not, you still have to meet customer demands, or they may just use another.

    The difference being that if it's city transportation, they're obligated to listen to the people because it's a public facility. PWE is a private company and doesn't actually owe anyone anything (aside from those who spend $, but they actually get what they pay for so...)
    It'd be the decent thing to do (listening to those that play the game) but they don't actually have to. That's why, in my opinion, people are better off finding a new game they enjoy rather than complaining about one they hate.

    I don't see a reason to quote the person. If they don't wish to play the game then there on there own. Find a better game so that your happy and we may be happy undisturb by your comment.

    Personally I love the realism in this game, the customaations as well. I find -unmentionable game by blizzard- to cartoonish to keep my interest. Play as much as you can for how long you may have. Create another if you wish or leave the game to play a new one that is unexplored.

    1. there is no better game that pwi, pwi is the shiznit b:victory

    2. -unmentionable game by blizzard- is over rated, boring, is indeed cartoonish, and also quite possibly the worst online game ever created. basically, i agree with what you said, and may hate that unmentionable game even more xD

    You pay someone to advertise on their building, the building becomes overridden with dirt and weeds. So technically your getting what you paid for, but the facility is being poorly run, which makes what you paid for completely worthless. When you pay for something your owed customer support.

    Furthermore i enjoy the game, I simply stated it is terribly run. Stop twisting my words.

    The company is responsible for the dirt and weeds that are unkept. The company sells less, they will gain less customers. In the end, the company will stop and continue with a different supponser until they lose creditiblity and the job itself.

    There are better games - I happen to have moved on to one, myself. Harder to film in, though.

    On that topic, for anyone actually reading this post: I direct your attention here.

    I require feedback, let me know if such an undertaking interests you, and/or is indeed worth the time and effort it would take.
