Never expect compensation from Cryptic when they took my Sub away after only 15 days due to their site TRIBBLE up not on my end. Send two reports and never get a response back after a month of waiting. But sure, give us another day for Risa... when most are done already :P What about our Rep cooldowns... or keeping up with tickets. Not to mention this admin stated the game was back up in their post (unless i misread) hours ago and was obviously wrong or didn't get proper communication themselves. I'm not a negative person, and I honestly give props to them for giving us anything for the extra downtime... but the compensation was offered hours earlier and the downtime is still ongoing.... I think most of us would just rather things be better prepared to avoid it all together.

I said it was nice they talked to us.. never said i believed it.. or that it was enough. >:P
But you're lucky to get a peep out of sub only games let alone F2P.. so maybe it's nice their at least willing to blow smoke up our TRIBBLE$? I dunno i give up. Even past 5pm cst time now. Gimme, gimme, you're extension on summer event is pointless, and howabout giving us Refined Dilithium bonus not ore... i got plenty of fricking ore. Still takes days to catch up if i do nothing all day.

Think I said 4 to 12 hours, looks like the high mark of my range was reached.

Wow, so definitely servers explode. I imagine we are not being able to play until they replace the main fried server with a new one...

Overheard in the Maintenance Department of Cryptic HQ...

There's a hole in my bucket, dear Liza, dear Liza,
There's a hole in my bucket, dear Liza, a hole.

Then fix it, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry,
Oh fix it, dear Henry, dear Henry, fix it.

With what shall I mend it, dear Liza, dear Liza?
With what shall I mend it, dear Liza, with what?

With a straw, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry,
With a straw, dear Henry, dear Henry, with a straw.

But the straw is too long, dear Liza, dear Liza,
The straw is too long, dear Liza, too long.

Cut it, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry,
Then cut it, dear Henry, dear Henry, cut it.

With what shall I cut it, dear Liza, dear Liza?
With what shall I cut it, dear Liza, with what?

With an axe, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry,
With an axe, dear Henry, dear Henry, with an axe.

The axe is too dull, dear Liza, dear Liza,
The axe is too dull, dear Liza, too dull.

Sharpen it, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry,
Oh sharpen it, dear Henry, dear Henry, hone it.

On what shall I sharpen it, dear Liza, dear Liza?
On what shall I sharpen it, dear Liza, with what?

On a stone, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry,
On a stone, dear Henry, dear Henry, a stone.

But the stone is too dry, dear Liza, dear Liza,
The stone is too dry, dear Liza, too dry.

Then wet it, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry,
Then wet it, dear Henry, dear Henry, wet it.

With what shall I wet it, dear Liza, dear Liza?
With what shall I wet it, dear Liza, with what?

Try water, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry,
Try water, dear Henry, dear Henry,use water.

In what shall I fetch it, dear Liza, dear Liza?
In what shall I fetch it, dear Liza, in what?

In a bucket, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry,
In a bucket, dear Henry, dear Henry, a bucket.

There's a hole in my bucket, dear Liza, dear Liza,

Depends on how you define "up".

I've noticed the problem is not so much connectivity (which still sucks, of course; nothing was "fixed") but even worse sluggishness, delay, response time, and lag than pre-10.5. Ranges all throughout the game, from login and character listing and swapping through any UI interaction and movement, both in ground and space. Risa events are so much harder now, so glad they didn't do this patch at the start of the season. I used to be able to get 5 characters on 2 different accounts through a horga'hn hunt with time to spare, now can barely get 4. I have Ripper on all of my characters but now it's near-impossible to grab a flag, any flag, without a helluva lead on the next racer. And that's just direct comparisons between immediately pre- and post-patch, since I've been camped on Risa for over a month.

So, again, depends on how you define "up". Green light? Yes. Playable? Well...
