We Deserve a Free Month

SystemSystem Member, NoReporting Posts: 178,019 Arc User
With all the server crashes and down time Cryptic should extend a free month to everyone. It's not right that we are paying for a game that essentially we're load testing for them. This is still beta quality - servers are down too much, missions have too many bugs, etc. I can't think of a week so far the server hasn't crashed at least once, can you?

Age of Conan gave a free month to everyone because they were down for some time to rearrange and merge servers. That's how you treat a customer if you want to keep one. :mad:

    Age of Conan didn't give a free month only few days. Unless you got a link to prove what you are saying?

    I'd rather have a refund than a free month. It's going to take about 6 to get this game in shape.

    As a Lifer you made a mistake trusting in Cryptic.

    No worries, I did the same with Champions Online. I was a CoX player for 4 years so I figured DAMN if I can invest the same time in CO then it will be worth it. 5 Months after the game comes out it's dead. So yeah, as a Lifer you should expect to get the WHOLE AMOUNT BACK.

    Yea...and that game is limping along nicely after 2 substantial server mergers from the mass player-base exodus since launch. Good to see Cryptic following that ingenious business model of flashy graphics, no content, and instability.

    it was the first crash in over a week

    but you know how people are

    it can happen once a month, and they will demand a free month for the inconvenience

    Although I've noticed the WoW comparisons stopped this week after 3 big down times. :)

    Making ridiculous demands and comparisons like this while using Counselor Troi as your Avatar?

    Troi would silently shake her head in disbelief.


    But to reply more directly: no, we don't deserve a free month. Besides, free extra gaming time wouldn't do good for the lifers.

    wow was down 3 big times or we were? (i did hear something about them having some MAJOR server issues over there, so much for 5+ years of "perfection" lol)

    cuz i only counted us having 1 crash, last night, before we were gonna have maint. anyway so it really wasnt a big deal cuz they rolled it into the maintenence
