    Who says they havent upgraded? Who says they arent running state of the art fresh off the shelf hardware?

    Have you been in their server room? This is a major corporation. This is their biggest moneymaker. Do you really think they would skimp? Losing subs/money is not good for business. They would invest every penny they could on hardware.

    Since the dawn of time the common man has blamed "the hardware" for mmo problems.

    It is never/extremely rarely the hardware.

    I too love posts like the one you quoted, I must be the only person who hasn't been to Cryptic/PW studios, everyone seems to be such an expert on what happens in there.

    There's been several times where I've said, even though all answers may point to it being their fault there maybe something beyond their control for EXAMPLE (I use example in big capital letters now as people for some reason assume that it's what I think is happening) a power cut, or their ISP acting up, unless you work for Cyrptic/PW or they actually say what's wrong you'll never know, so....

    hey TRIBBLE.....i asked him a question and he kindly answers that's his job, he's a communicator not an engineer.


    btw the BOP turn rate is nerfed so please fix that, thanks. Can't wait to see D'Tan and the gang with the BSG musci pumping, i've never said this but great addition with the itunes thing so can play the opening theme.

    lol no need for name calling was a joke hence the two silly faces after the mad one and i did say right afterward they are doing a good job

    I do believe this video is relevant to someone's inability to code right at PWE.

    Wow...just....wow..... I have tried to ignore the constant down times, but I just watched a team of guys at my work do ten times the coding that this would require and produce a flawless role out with a single beta tester and no development server. Cryptic, you guys really have no idea what you are doing.

    I know that when you're 12 everything seems like the end of the world... But I promise you that this really isn't that big a deal.

    Please grow up.

    Or stop posting.

    Either one is fine.
    proof that ignorance is bliss.

    you sit on your TRIBBLE complaining and blaming them for issues that come with EVERY game and nothing is perfect...

    they're actually doing their job and brought us a HUGE content update that has been needed for quite sometime and all's you can do is whine about it.

    if you can't accept that with every LARGE patch to a game issues arise then you shouldn't be playing online games in general.

    anyway OT: good job guys glad to see you'll be fixing it, 2 am here but i can stay up :) got nothing to do tomorrow so :P
    urniv821, GROW UP!! oh, and i believe that urniv821's early post is in violation of the forum rules.
    this is not a flame, if you consider it a flame, i apologize. it is not meant as such.

    I don't need to go into their 'server room'. It's a business decision, PWI is a profit-hungry company. It's always been about turning a dime with them. They aren't the company to spend 'extra on the customer'.

    If you think any gaming company - ESPECIALLY PWI/Cryptic is running state of the art hardware where 'money is no option' you're just being silly.

    .... and the award for best entrepreneur goes to...... /\/\/\/\/\/\/\ THIS GUY!

    Thanks guys I am glad my INI files are still here and the server didn't melt and that the response was more than "please try again later" LOL I am glad you helped to fix the issue and i hope that if it was a critical issue, it was fixed. Now, if only we could get a universal voice chat server to accept all chat server proxies to join and utilize all chat for all of us to talk to each other....... *imagining a burble fish for the computer* hmmmmm ........ *shaking head* nahh..... I am sure you can come up with something amazing. <wicked grin> :P

    its amazing how ignorant you people are by just calling someone a child or an age range. Can you truly not think of anything better? Better get enrolled into school.

    We are calling you that because you are acting like one.
    Anyone with even a small amount of experience in MMOs know there are always problems with a new patch no matter how much testing and time they put into it.

    It's called power of deduction and reasoning. Honestly, you don't even need to be a member of the IT community to know what's happening so long as you've been in the MMO gaming-sphere for a while.

    So much whining and nerdrage on the forums today... apparently, most of these kids don't remember the mess that was EverQuest: Ruins of Kunark. 23 hour downtime (oh, how will you kids survive!), then three more downtimes in the next two days totaling another 20 hours. This is nothing compared to that.

    That being said, looking very good, guys, keep up the good work. Looks sharp!

    Very confused as to why I'm getting 'Certain amount of time has passed' messages, though. This may be my first post in this forum /snip

    That's your reason that you're getting the error message. That clock starts from your first post in the forum, regardless of account age or play time.

    Furthermore, it's specific to each forum.

    Ah but deduction and reasoning can only get you an assumption, not a fact and as I always say assumption is the mother of all f' ups.

    LOL so I saw Star Trek: Into Darkness in theatres, came home looked more into the shows, lore etc. Interest peaked. Downloaded this game from steam f2p section. Login. Create character (which is very extensive btw) Clicked the "create character" button. 2 seconds later ... SURPRISE MAINTENANCE!! Oh happy day! Anyway I thought I'd share this bit of bad timing, look forward to starting to play this game after all this happens. Cheers.

    Do you have any other symptoms?
