    You'd be a naive fool to think those afflicted would wait around for yet another week for something you can (and have done) easily fix in a manner of hours, for a bit of compensation later on.

    If you remember correctly, your error costed them something you can't truly compensate: Their spirit/exp/drops, due to not being able to be invited to squads.

    I've seen better management come from the Bush administration when he was the US President.

    An emergency maintenance, on the other hand, would disconnect 100% of our players for 1-2 hours and increase the likelihood of troubles when the new servers are launched.

    Either way, players will be inconvenienced - there is no getting around it - but we've chosen what we believe to be the lesser of two evils.

    100% of players for 1-2 hours, vs ???% of players for 192 hours and counting...
    It was lulzy at first, I'll admit. I didn't think it was that big a deal. But you try being one of those asterisk'd people and suddenly it's not so funny anymore.

    Frankie, I don't think anyone's denying that you have a lot on your plate. We all understand that. But this latest ****-up is being handled terribly, and I don't think you or anyone else in that office is really comprehending how badly this reflects on you all.

    As I wrote over on the Escapist boards - you censored users to the point of breaking the game, then flipped them a massive bird with this skipped maintenance.
    EDIT'd due to typing slow.

    Remember, it's not just about the fact that we'd have to take down the servers, but also because applying a new patch right now might cause major problems when the new servers are brought up next Tuesday night.

    If the issue were as simple as having a maintenance, then we would have just had maintenance.

    If it causes problems, why can't you fix them then. There is already game breaking problem on these servers, and as with any new server people don't mind so much if there is a hiccup. That is to be expected of new content. We as the community just want to understand Frankie, its just one small file. You don't have to change anything else. The other glitches going on at the moment are game breaking ,they are annoying and upsetting some players, but they aren't preventing anyone from playing. This one is, if these servers are broken why does your old, loyal, and currently playing and for some people PAYING customers have to suffer so that potential customers that don't exist don't have to worry about a potential problem that MIGHT happen?

    I know this is mere common sense, and I know many people lack it...

    But, why not give us the filter fix now, and skip maint next week, should giving us this fix cause issues for your unnecessary servers?

    Problem. Solved.

    Do they not require basic problem solving skills upon hiring people?

    i have to say, effing everyone who wants to play now who has innocent names that got censored, for an offchance it MAY (not even guarenteed it will) *** with the new servers... thats terribad customer service... i think i just lost what little respect i had for pwi staff members.

    The chat filter problems on the server right now are making some things very hard, if not impossible to for some players, and I understand that, but potential problems for the EU servers could be far worse, as in the kind that could make the game impossible to even log into for 100% of the players. This is why it's priority #1 for the game to be as stable as possible right now, and why maintenance was not performed this week.

    Are EU servers really required though? In all honesty, the number of servers we have now, and those of us that ARE in the time zone preferable for a EU server, are already well established on our current servers. As such, they can't be bothered starting over, and funneling more money into the game to get back to where they already are. Fix our current issues, scrap the unneeded server...

    Wouldn't heavy traffic (from opening a new server) plus a bad patch be worse for the server than doing it now when there is less stress on the server? I guess I'll never understand this decision....

    I'm fairly certain that hundreds upon hundreds of players do not have censored names in-game - Customer Service has so far received fewer than 60 tickets from players in this situation. An emergency maintenance, on the other hand, would disconnect 100% of our players for 1-2 hours and increase the likelihood of troubles when the new servers are launched.

    Either way, players will be inconvenienced - there is no getting around it - but we've chosen what we believe to be the lesser of two evils.


    Update: Original ticket estimate was low, and changed to be more accurate

    ... >_> I have no idea how to respond to this other than:

    Why do people still play this game when it seems every GM and Dev have their mindset like this? Besides, I think we all know why you want the European servers in the first place. People will race to highest level, thus giving you more money. Has you company ever think even ONCE about something for the community instead of the income? But no, instead of fixing the problem, or even looking in your own game, just make an emergency Maintenance for some packs and assume that every person involved sent a ticket.

    I don't even PLAY this game for reasons like this.

    This is starting to annoy me with the way the gm have been acting. so i have a question do you honestly care about this game and the people that play it or is this just a paycheck to you? Can you grow some balls and honestly answer the question not just give a run around and bullcrap you think we want to hear.

    Frankie, no one gives a flying rats *** about new servers, why is that so hard for u to understand? Why would we care about other servers if the server we are currently on IS BROKE?! seriously frankie, how stupid can one be to not see that? And about only getting a few tickets submitted, not many submit tickets because frankly, PWE's customer servers sucks giant donkey balls. It takes 1-2 weeks just to get the FIRST responce, why would we waste our time with crappy customerservice? Franky, your supposed to be the "community manager" or w.e so instead of making new servers no one cares about whatso ever, fic the damn servers u alrdy have that are broke. If you really cared about your community instead of how much money you can stuff in your pockets, youd see that its a bigger problem than u think. Not only does this affect peoples game play by censoring out their IGNs but its also a disgrace to the PWE company. If you cant be smart enough to fix a problem that actually is of importance, why be a staff member? I have kept quite about this since I started PWI, but this has gotten out of hand.
    Get off your lazy **** and stop being selfish and help your community. There have been how many posts about this censor issue, yet u still wont do a damn thing about it? Explain to me how new servers are more important than fixng problems in ur alrdy used servers? The only way that would be logical is if u were braindead. All PWE cares about is money, money, money. And it shows each and every day u let an ongoing problem go on. I mean rubberbanding was supposed to be fixed, was it? No, it was made a feature of the game. What does that show your community? that u dont give a **** about what they want and how they feel about issues. You may act like you care, but we all know for a fact, you dont. Id like to see all the staff play this game without their powers, play like a normal player, and see how difficult thes issues are. Maybe then the light will go off telling you to fix this ****. One last thing before i finish my w/e this is. These censors, are very very prejudice. How in all of anyones sanity is saying Masturbation and Intercourse and **** better than saying G.ay? That offends quite a few ppl, because thats bassicly says "**** you g.ays we dont give a **** about u so we will censor u put of our game" Franky, go get some common sence please, because from everything you have said in this thread, you have none what so ever. Anyway, thats all I have to say for now.

    Remember, though, if your name has been affected by the chat filter, please submit a ticket; Customer Service has been compiling a list of all users for future compensation, and after verifying everything (i.e. the character was created before the new filter went into effect) they'll be able to help you out :)

    http://support.perfectworld.com/

    i submitted a ticket I was told you were working on it.. I declined the solution since that is not a solution and asked if you could be more definitive.. The response was within the next few maintenance patches which then was followed by an announcement a few hours later that there would be no maintenance... I declined the solution. I asked if, since this was going to affect my game play for yet another few weeks, if you could just change my name you said no name changes were possible for fixing this problem.

    This is why people don't submit tickets. When you submit a ticket and get an automated response saying we have received your ticket we will get back to you, we feel acknowledged. When you come back and respond with "we are working on it" how should we feel. A solution in a couple of weeks which is the answer you have given me 3 times now is not a solution... Its no better than an automated response.

    You want to know how many people are really affected? Run a system message every 2-3 hours asking affected players to submit a ticket.. See how many respond then. Most people are just dealing with it because others who have responses have passed along your """""soultion""""". Yes it will be annoying but no worse than seeing the duke yell that yet another person has "won a brand new car".. ("game show humor" - for the first person to ask how I got to 102 without knowing that you can't win a car in game)

    Maybe you guys should put the EU release on hold then instead of bringing out a highly flawed product, and work on the servers you already have up that prevents people from being PM'd, or even blacklisted. Your game is not functioning correctly yet this is okay with you because some servers that aren't even live yet might have some problems?

    To say that PW has it's priorities muddled over this is an understatement.

    I don't understand why the logical response by a GM/CM in a ticket and/or on the forums isn't:

    "Please stop playing our game until we are able to resolve the issue and patch the client."

    Do they honestly expect players to continue "attempting" to play a game that they cannot? Maybe the expectation is for players to re-roll on these new servers when the "fix" is implemented, and that will be the "solution".

    Frankie, how is this the correct thing to do? You should listen to the community members. Trust me when I say this - they have a higher brain capacity on this subject than you clearly do.

    Let's give an example for you, since we all know you don't actually play PWI...

    Your ISP just went wacky. They have an automated ticketing system setup, and you frantically call them. All PWE games are sitting at 20k ping, and DC'ing non-stop for all players. A week later, the issue is still going on. You're ISP was scheduled to have maint/temperary downtime, to resolve you're issue today. However, due to some new servers they are setting up, it will be another week. Now you have lost you're precious money, as you have been hosting servers for two weeks and all the players have now quit you're game.

    Welcome to our world. The world where greed and money are the source of all things great. PWE won't solve the issue at hand, because some new servers are being brought up. I ask you this, Frankie.... Who gives a rats *** about you're new severs? Players aren't going to re-roll on a new server, when they have put nearly 3 years worth of time and effort in their current server, only to not be able to play for 2 weeks and miss 2x exp/drops/spirit for 11 days.

    Frankie, tell you're company to get their heads out of their asses and think about longterm investments in this game. You're company and the way you come off is pathetic against this community, and this thread along w/ the countless other ones around, clearly shows how much PWE cares.

    When you loose your flagship game, you better change your company name. Otherwise, you're company will fall. Then you'll be without a job.

    That's a bit harsh.. PWE cares... They care about the money lining their pockets, and the slight... SLIGHT inclination that they make more on opening new servers. What the greedy ignoramuses fail to realize is... we, for the most part, are their advertising. If we're unhappy with how this ship is being ran, we'll walk the plank, and nobody will advertise your game, via word of mouth or facebook. Thus negating your precious EU servers. Head. Out of sphincter. Try it, Frankie. If we don't tell what friends we may or may not have from the EU timezones about the game... how will you line your greedy pockets with their euros?

    You know, when people click on that link for the first time, most of them go and think... Where in the blue hell is the Submit A Ticket button?. Now sure, it says "Submit a trouble ticket..." on the description of "Request Support", but some people might have troubles finding that, and even after, following the steps. A direct button would make everything easier for some...

    Now, again, we forums readers might see this thread and your suggestion of "submitting a ticket". However, what about those who never check forums? What about those who don't even know tickets exist? Maybe you should think of system announcements in game saying just that:
    if your name has been affected by the chat filter, please submit a ticket

    + a link to support website...

    i have to say, in 2 minutes of thinking i thought up a perfect solution, POSTPONE THE LAUNCH OF THE EU SERVERS TO FIX THIS ISSUE AND WORK ON W/E PROBLEMS MAY OCCUR WITH THE EU SERVER (if any derive from the filter fix in the first place, still don't see how that will effect the server from even going live but hey, pwi is OBVIOUSLY -smarter- than the rest of us /sarcasm)

    we get the filter fix, you get your eu servers, admittedly, later than expected but they are still there. who will complain? its a win win. but then again, pwi staff has their heads so far up their asses it'll probably take them 3 years to have thought of that solution. hell to be honest, i wouldn't be surprised at all if pwi never fixes the filter issue, just like rubber banding.
