[No Maintenance this Week!] 2-1-2011

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

rough estimate of 5 days not good enough it seems.

4 more tuesdays to go

EDIT: 3 more days to go

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.

And you care so much... why?

Your lack of a legitimate response means your nothing but a troll attempting to act mature.

This is kind of ironic. Oh well, bye. Enjoy playing a game that makes you miserable

Sorry that you're being forced to play this completely free game. <.<


Anyway, so its a bit late, glad to see an official date announced

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.

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.

Exactly my point.

I must say a fail comment is a fail.

I know another good mmo as well. I play it whenever the connection is good and wish to play it.

Where are my sales? >:(

I ate them, for they was good. If you wish to obtain them, I suggest that you:

1.) GET INTO MY BELLY!

or ...

2.) Cut me in two.

Otherwise they will be chemically altared into dung.

Surprise rep sale?
